Review: How the Light Gets In

How the Light Gets In by L.H. Cosway
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


"It amazed me how something so simple, just a combination of scents could propel me through a porthole into the past. And If I concentrated hard enough, I could pretend I was back there, just for a little while."

Let me just say that I loved two major things about this book.

1) Love is everlasting. It really doesn't die.

- Dylan and Ev's love story was one of the most frustrating yet romantic to the highest level. I appreciated all their efforts and their actions because it made them believe that they were doing the right thing for each other, regardless of the hurt that it could bring to them. It was heartbreaking yet satisfying because even though they got separated for a long time, they still didn't stop loving each other. Dylan's devotion and love for Ev was top-notch! No one, I mean noooobody can match that. Creating perfumes from every feeling towards someone and sharing it to the world secretly wondering if the person you did it for received the message that you are trying to communicate, seriously, it was the most ROMANTIC GESTURE EVER, 5 STARS.

2) World's-best-bestfriend-tribute
The launch of Samuel was the BEST EVER TRIBUTE THEY COULD HAVE DONE. LOVE IT TO BITS!!!!!

Review: A Crack in Everything

A Crack in Everything by L.H. Cosway
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The beauty about first love is that it takes over all your senses and makes you feel like you are magnificent. Having to witness Ev and Dylan’s love was one of the most satisfying reads everrrrr!!!!


This book is about friendship, hardships, dreams and aspirations and realisation that you can be something good out there even if the world is sometimes trying to cage you in.


This book is about appreciation of the people that you have. Appreciating everything that you have. Putting positive thoughts in your head because you don't want to drown in the negativity that surrounds you even though it's all you can see all the time. Appreciating the simple gesture and the moments that you have now with that special someone because you know that keeping those memories can last a lifetime.


The book speaks about acceptance on how you see your life in the present and what could happen in the future. It’s acceptance that no matter what tragedy came, all you still have to do is move forward. It’s also acceptance of what you are as a person. As long as you know that your existence means something it can guaranty that you can hold it on your own.


The book talks about confidence that you’ll be something amazing even without the important people that you love. It means sacrificing your happiness for the greatness that could come for others. It’s not really giving up, more like understanding that instead of being a hindrance, you try to push them for the achievement of that greatness.

Just what they say at the end of the book, it’s not an ending, it’s just the in-between. Let’s all hope for a big reconnection because I am dying to start in the next book!!!!!! ❤️❤️😍😍

Review: The Great Pursuit

The Great Pursuit by Wendy Higgins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is 4.5 STARS!!! I've always loved Paxton Seabolt and Aerity Lochson's story ever since the first book.


With this one, it's all about the act on doing something that you stand for. Being brave is not enough, you have to believe in yourself and be at one with the people that depends on you. Hoping for someone to love you back is not enough, you have to be able to try to express it to them.

Thoughts:

"Perhaps not everyone is meant to be with the one they love."

- Sometimes it's easy to just stay silent and look from afar. It's easy to love that way because you know that no one can take that away from you. It's like living in the safety zone. However, what if that person loves you back? What if that person doesn't? Well, who cares! Either way, you will never know unless you tell them or have that courage to release all those feelings that you have. Maybe you are meant for each other or maybe you are not. In the end, at least you can move on from there.
- Harrison's feelings was a shock to me at first because I never suspected it!
- As for Aerity, it was really hard to be selfless because you are truly giving up the person that matters most.
- Paxton, well, we all know that he gave up because he knew he couldn’t win. But if I were like him and opportunity always presented itself, I will hold on to it until it lasts.

"But it's okay to show weakness with us. That's what we're here for."

- Having your support group is one of the things that you will always be thankful for. May it be your family, friends or neighbors, you know you can always count on them in times of your downs and lows. This book has shown the importance of family and how they can always lift our spirit when all you think about is giving up or hopelessness. You can always, always show them the bad and the ugly because you know that they will not judge you but understand you through it all.

"Give me a memory of our love that I can keep with me always. Something no one can take from us."
- I WAS REALLY HAPPY WITH THIS MOMENT. HANDS DOWN!!!!

YASSSS! I really wish Tiern and Vi will have there book, but the glimpses in this book were also enough. <3
