Christina Lauren does it again!

Keep in mind that I am writing this review coming off the 24 hour (how long it took me to read the book) high of Dirty Rowdy Thing. I couldn't put it down - I didn't work like I should have, I neglected my house, and had my children eating take out because I was so completely absorbed in the story of Harlow and Finn.  

I loved Sweet Filthy Boy, the first installment of this group of characters, but I fell head over heels for the main characters in this story. You know when u finish a book and you are sad it's over? Christina Lauren did it to me again, but this time my emotions were so wrapped up in Harlow and Finn that I actually feel like I lost my friends when I finished that last page. 

This was a story I wanted to jump into, be a part of each page - not because of the lusty scenes (although those were hot too) but because these are REALLY good characters. They feel like your friends, you get involved, and you CARE what is going to happen on that next page. 

Christina Lauren our did themselves this time, and Dirty Rowdy Thing deserves a place on your bookshelf and mine. I will be waiting impatiently for the next Christina Lauren novel.

Best book ever!

I just finished reading Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell, and let me tell you this book is amazing! Never has a book inspired me to write about it, never has a book allowed me to fall in love with two characters so deeply, and never have I felt such pain when the book was over. For those of you who haven't read it, I suggest you RUN not walk to the nearest book store or ebook download now. 

Yes, It is a story of young love, but so much more. Yes it is classified as young adult, but any adult who can remember what it felt like to be 16 can relate. Especially any adult who had a rough adolescence whether it be family life or a bully, etc. 

I know this book isn't new, but I have been behind on my reading for awhile. I am so grateful to Rainbow Rowell for writing a book that could make me fall in love with reading again. Go buy this now!
