WITHOUT MERIT quotes, review and excerption by COLLEEN HOOVER



October New Release***

Colleen Hoover did it again. Even when the cover release, I was amazed. I couldn't take this book down. I couldn't take it off from my mind even when I am not reading this. 
The best thing about her stories is that they are very original, even the characters.
The story focus on the Voss family. Merit, Honor (her older twin-sister) and Utah (her brother) lives with her father and Victoria (her step-mother).

The time frame of the story is only a little over a month. It started out with Merit strange obsession of collecting trophy she didn't win at thrift shop. And it is also where she met Sagan.
The Voss family is not a dysfunctional family with secrets holding up. And Merit who felt like a outcast of the family knew those secrets and kept them close to heart. Her twin sister is everything she is not. Her brother is straight A student and trying to stay as far as away from the family.
The only one she found dear in the family is Moby, her step-brother.

The book is not a lot to handle. Since it's mostly about the family and secrets that almost destroy them.
Interesting and emotional read, I would give it 10 out of 10.
Quotes down there.

Not every mistake deserves a consequence. Sometimes the only thing it deserves is forgiveness.

We’re all a degree of fucked-up.


If silence were a river, your tongue would be the boat.


Maybe that’s the root of a lot of family issues. It isn’t actually the issues people are hung up about for so long. It’s that no one has the courage to take the first step in talking about the issues.

It Ends With Us Review, Quotes and Excerption by Colleen Hoover



It's no secret that I am the biggest fan of CoHo. I read each and every one of her novels.
But as soon as I started reading It Ends With Us, I knew this book is not gonna be one of my favorites.
I really had never thought that would happen. But yeah, that happens.
REALLY NEVER WITH COLEEN HOOVER, she's like a goddess to me. I am so frustrated and so disappointed at first few chapters. Then, the plot revealed more.
Here comes the part I stopped complaining of whatever comments I was having. (When Lily met Atlas again/kyaaaaaa/Iamsorrythisisspoiler)

This book is great.
She opened her heart out to write this one. I have to give her this one. How things turned out, is very amusing.


This is the story of Lily, Atlas and Ryle.
Ryle - Neurosurgeon, career oriented, playboy, rich.
Atlas - The homeless boy who Lily used to know in childhood. Her very first love.
Lily - complicated.

Yeah ~ Lily is complicated. She said Atlas is very important and he's the reason why she's in Boston. Then, she got attracted to Ryle pretty fast. That's just my exterior judgement. She's jobless but her father just died. She hated (strongly dislike) her abusive father.
There's nothing to boast about this book. This book is not about plots, pretty words nor the characters. It's about choices and naked truths.

Choices we made and for them, consequences we face.

Yes, not typical Colleen Hoover book that I love but the amazing one that I admired. I love her more because of that book. It seemed unique at the same time, too unrealistic. Colleen Hoover to be this level of unrealistic? That is why I was so taken aback. But considering the turns of events, it is level of acceptable.

“What happened?” he asks.
I shake my head. “Nothing.”
His eyes are narrow, still ice blue but somehow burning with fire. “You’re lying, Lily.”
I muster enough of a smile to get me by. “It was an accident.”
Atlas laughs, but then his face falls flat. “Leave him.”
Leave him?

Atlas is.... what is Atlas asking Lily to do???

“He walks around me to his bedroom door and he locks it. He flips off the light, leaving only a lamp on, and then takes off his shirt as he walks toward me.“What are you doing?”He tosses his shirt on a chair and then slips off his shoes. “We’re going to sleep.”I glance at his bed. Then at him. “Right now?”He nods and walks over to me. In one swift movement, he lifts my dress up and over my head, until I’m standing in the middle of his bedroom floor in my bra and panties. I cover myself, but he doesn’t even look twice. He pulls me toward the bed and lifts the covers for me to crawl in. As he’s walking over to his side of the bed he says, “It’s not like we haven’t slept together before without having sex. Piece of cake.”

HOW SEXY IS RYLE????????? COULD YOU IMAGINE?


He takes a deep breath and then says, “I don’t know what happens next, Lily.”He does. He knows. He just doesn’t want it to happen, because we both know how much it hurts to say goodbye to each other.I look away from him because seeing the look on his face right now cuts straight to my heart. I fold my arms over my chest and stare at the floor. “I have a lot to work through, Atlas. A lot. And I’m scared I won’t be able to do it with you in my life.”

IT is sooooooooo sad. I know. I know. You can't assume from those excerptions you know how it works. *tips of a iceberg* that's what they are. ;)

hellllllllllllllllllloooooooo #QUOTES time \O^O/

There is no such thing as bad people. We’re all just people who sometimes do bad things

“In the future . . . if by some miracle you ever find yourself in the position to fall in love again . . . fall in love with me.”

I feel like everyone fakes who they really are, when deep down we're all equal amounts of screwed up. Some of us are just better at hiding it than others.

You are my wife. I’m supposed to be the one who protects you from the monsters. I’m not supposed to be one.

Sometimes the things that matter to you most are also the things that hurt you the most.

November 9 review by COLLEEN HOOVER Quotes and Excerption



THIS BOOK IS SUPER AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5 ABSOLUTE STARS OUT OF 5

Trust me, the plot twist is BRILLIANT. I'm like ; "what?" "really?" "you must be kidding me" "you're kidding me right?" the whole fucking time. (sry abt language)

There's Ben and Fallon.

Just like all others romance book, they met. An unforgettable first-meeting <3
You will love this book, I'm oh so guarantee that ^_^

Let's read some exciting stuff, shall we?

I’m rolling up my window when I hear him mutter under his breath, 
“Please don’t hate me.”
But I’m scared it’s already too late.
I tell the driver to leave, and when I’m a safe distance across the parking lot, the cab pauses before pulling out onto the road. I glance back at him. He’s standing in front of his apartment door, his hands gripping the back of his head. He’s watching me leave. I grab as many pages of the manuscript as I can reach and I toss them out the window. Before the cab pulls away, I turn just in time to see him fall to his knees on the pavement in defeat.


I bet this scene will get you. Well, that's just a scene right now, dun be so emotional by it yet XD
The most amazing thing about November 9 is .... /seebelow/


"Again . . . we’ll never see each other after tonight. And I can’t give you my phone number.”
I know better than to give him a way to contact me. There’s too much I need to do on my own and if he had my phone number, my entire focus would be on what time each day he’s supposed to call me.
Ben releases me and takes a step back, folding his arms across his chest. He begins to pace back and forth as he chews on his bottom lip. 
“What if . . .” He stops and faces me. 
“What if we meet up again next year on the same day? And the year after that? We’ll do it for five years. Same date, same time, same place. We’ll pick up where we left off tonight, but only for the day. I’ll make sure you’re following through with your auditions and I can write a book about the days we’re together.”
I let his words sink in for a moment. I try to match the serious look on his face, but the prospect of seeing him once a year fills me with anticipation and I’m doing my best not to act too giddy. “Meeting up once a year on the same date sounds like a really good basis for a romance novel. If you fictionalized our story, I’d add it to the top of my TBR.”
Now he’s smiling. So am I, because the thought of being able to look forward to today’s date is something I never thought would happen. November 9th has been an anniversary I’ve dreaded since the night of the fire, and this is the first time the thought of that date leaves me with a positive feeling.

Let me take you to the ecstatic world of QUOTES

It took four years for me to fall in love with him.
It only took four pages to stop.

What's happening inside my heart right now is way too consequential to deny. I think I've been misjudging the whole concept of insta-love. 

"Why'd you break up?"
"We were sixteen." 

You'll never be able to find yourself if you're lost in someone else.

Her tears and my soul, they live parallel lives.
Run, ache, burn.
Repeat.
Her tears and my soul, they live parallel lives.
- Benton James Kessler

Youth and Beauty fade. Human decency doesn't.

SO, are you guys ready for this book? You should. Because this is real. I read it for 2nd time and I still cry for Ben :'( :'( You'll understand T_T

Never Never Series REVIEW and Excerption by COLLEEN HOOVER & Tarryn Fisher




This Never, Never series contain 3 books (Part I, Part II, Part III)
This is the first ever collaboration of Colleen Hoover (my idol author) and Tarryn Fisher.

The Part I and II is so great. The start is full of mystery and full of romance that you are about stop a while in the middle of reading just to let out a shout in frustration. YES, it's kinda frustrating to read. CoHo is a tease.

It starts with Silas and Charlie, their memory loss (COMPLETE LOSS).
They were a couple, a very loving couple like soul-mate. But because of a lawsuit between their family, they parted, yes, tragic. Let's see...

PART I

Silas's POV

“What now?” I ask, leaning back in my seat. She’s barely touched her food and I’m pretty sure I just broke a record with how fast I ate mine.
She looks up at me and I can see by the trepidation in her expression that she already knows what she wants to do next, she just doesn’t want to bring it up.
“What is it?”
Her eyes narrow. “I don’t want you to make a smart-ass comment in response to what I’m about to suggest.”
“No, Charlie,” I say immediately. “We aren’t eloping tonight. The tattoos are enough commitment for now.”
She doesn’t roll her eyes at my joke this time. She sighs, defeated, and leans back in her seat.
I hate her reaction. I like it a whole lot more when she rolls her eyes at me.
I reach across the table and cover her hand with mine, rubbing my thumb over hers. “I’m sorry,” I say. “Sarcasm just makes this whole thing feel a little less frightening.” I remove my hand from hers. “What did you want to say? I’m listening. Promise. Lumberjack’s honor.”
She laughs with a small roll of her eyes and I’m relieved.

So, tattoos? Well, Silas and Charlie were pretty sure about their love and relationship. >< Yeah.

PART II 

Silas's POV

“Why isn’t my car on?
I wipe the fog off my window with the palm of my hand to see outside, but the rain is falling so hard now I can’t see anything.
Where am I?
I turn around and look in the backseat, but there’s no one there. Nothing there. I face forward again.
Think, think, think.
Where was I headed? I must have fallen asleep.
I don’t know where I am.
I don’t know where “I” am.
I…I…I…
Who am I?
It seems so natural to think thoughts that contain the word I. But each of my thoughts are hollow and weightless, because the word “I” is attached to no one. No name, no face. I am…nothing.”


Memory loss #_#

The papers that were sitting on my lap catch my eye. I reach over and grab for them. The pages are stapled together, so I flip to the front page. It’s a letter, addressed to me and some other guy named Charlie.

Charlie and Silas,If you don’t know why you’re reading this, then you’ve forgotten everything.


What the hell? The first sentence isn’t what I was expecting to read. I don’t know what I was expecting to read.


You recognize no one, not even yourselves. Please don’t panic, and read this letter in its entirety.


It’s a little late for the don’t panic part.

We aren’t sure what happened, but we’re afraid if we don’t write it down, it might happen again. At least with everything written down and left in more than one place, we’ll be more prepared if it does happen again. On the following pages, you’ll find all the information we know.
So, they are writing to themselves. Who else did that? Smart people? Yeah ~ It's pretty cool and pretty awesome. The plot and everything else.



So, I'm thinking, DO YOU NOTICE THE COVER? The hands?
Yes, it's a hint that it's not gonna end bloody nor parting. ;) So no excerption for the third book, you will be eager enough after reading first two books.

Of course, I hate all the books with tragic ending and but for this one, I am not satisfied with happy ending. This book could be so much better and greater only if THEY DIDN'T BLAME EVERYTHING ON THE FREAKING UNIVERSE !!!!!

I'm sorry but I am warning, the ending, the third book is not something you would give out 5 full stars. Well, for the sake of plot, should read'em.

UGLY LOVE review by COLLEEN HOOVER



Okayy.. I am not sure what to say about this book. First, THERE IS A MOVIE COMING starring Nick Bateman! C'mon google it guys! Stay Alert.
Cause this book is amazing. Colleen Hoover's Plot is awesome as ever like ever. You know that.

Tate < Come to her brother's apartment driving for six hours but then she met her destiny man.
Miles >>> A Pilot !!! A fucking hot PILOT !!!!!!

And a mystery name . "RACHEL" who is likely Miles's ex or something. (I am not giving any spoilers cox that much you can figure it out."

You will want to read this book cox this books is 

  • Heart-breaking
  • Tragic
  • Hot/sexy (however you like to call) 
  • And a little rated (or much more than a little)
  • Romantic but the guy insisted he is not a romance guy.
  • Likely will make your tears flowing like unstoppable. 
So... 
Me? 
When I read this book, I was just curious. And while reading that book, you know, the feeling of you don't even want to blink because a second of blinking is waste of time. Yeah, I felt that. And I assured you, you won't regret it reading that book.

Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover QUOTES



I don't know about you guys but I always like to remember a good quote or QUOTES. They warmed my heart like a good blanket in the cold wind, or like a nice cup of coffee in the rainy day, or like a fireplace in the chilly night. Am I being poetic? Nah, I know I'm lame. Sorry.
So, let' see.

I guess I thought that we would always stay the same.
And I can tell that you find somebody to blame.
And I know in my heart, in my mind, it's all a game.

That's something that touched my heart. I can relate to this one. Life gives you one guy that... I'll stop. This isn't even about me. It's about Sydney

As much as I claim to want to be unattached from guys and independent and strong, the only thing I'm thinking is how much I wish he would take complete and total control over me.


I assumed that maybe someday, when I was ready, things could have developed between us.


Hey, heart. Are you listening? You and I are officially at war.

It's from Ridge's bestfriend, roommate and band-mate. Warren, (I actually spend a good visit to my book because I forgot his name lol) he is ... I like him, ok not at first. Since I am on Sydney's side ^^


Sometimes in life, we need a few bad days in order to deep the good ones in perspective.

The more I open up to him, the more I need him. The more I admit to myself that I need him, the more it hurts to know that I still don't exactly have him.

So, umm, go and dig that book up. See if anything worth noted down there. You know I could miss a thing or two XD 
Thank you all for reading this blog ^_^ It means something to me.

Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover Review


Ok. I recommend this book. If you are looking for 
  • The hottest guy ever
  • The tragedy
  • The thrill
  • The tears
  • The breathlessness
  • The FORBIDDEN LOVE
Most of Colleen Hoover Books are all about forbidden love. 

Below there might be spoilers but not so spoiled.

The thing is, Ridge is deaf! And he doesn't speak. But he is a song writer, very talented. 
And Sydney? She is well, she was betrayed by her roommate. One day, she moved to Ridge's Apartment. And thus, she developed feelings for Ridge who saved her (you will see, GO READ THAT DAMN BOOK PLEASE) and figure out Ridge has a girlfriend, Maggie

So you get it? Sydney doesn't want to have love affair and of course Ridge obviously doesn't also. Ridge loved Maggie but he thought he did. (you will see, PLEASE JUST READ THAT BOOK)

And the end? It is happy ending but you will see. How my favorite Author "COLLEEN HOOVER" made this story perfect and heart-breaking.
