The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks

15931The Notebook is a beautiful story told by a man named Noah. Noah and his wife are both in a nursing home when the book takes place. Noah's wife Allie has dementia and can't remember who Noah is, but Noah goes to her everyday and tells her their story. The book starts off with Allie coming back to town and going to see Noah, it had been years since they saw each other. Allie was married and Noah had just bought the house he promised long ago to fix up for her. And just like that the story of Allie and Noah is told. With flashes of present and past this story is a whirlwind of love and sadness. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good romance, like full out no other stuff in between romance.

 The Bachelor meets royalty, the Selection is where 35 girls get chosen to go to the castle and fight to get chosen by the prince.

This is the final book in the Testing series. In this book Cia is on her way to getting rid of the testing completely but she finds that she can't do it alone. Finding out who she can and cannot trust is a very hard task but she must do it. This is a very action packed and suspenseful book. It was a great way to end Cia's story and answer some questions about the Testing. I recommend this for anyone who loved the others, it's a must read. This series is definitely for those Hunger Games and Divergent lovers! I recommend it :)

A falls in love with Justin's girlfriend, Rhiannon, and continues every day as a new person and tries to find her. Being someone new everyday makes it hard for A to form a relationship with her but he begins to find a way. This story is confusing but still fairly riveting. I recommend this to anyone who also loved the Fallen series, this story reminds me of that. If you like tragic romance and some adventure then you might like this book.

Bookishly Ever After by Isabel Bandeira

Phoebe Martin is a major book lover with many book boyfriends. This makes it a lot harder to find a real life boyfriend because her books have raised her expectations. One of her best friends tries to get her to ask out a boy that she thinks is perfect for her but Phoebe doesn't agree. Eventually the boy loses interest and finds a girlfriend, or so Phoebe thinks. After many shoves and pushes Phoebe develops a crush on him but now he has a girlfriend. She does everything to avoid him and is fairly successful but then they are camp counselors together. This love story is so sweet and makes you go 'awwwww' at the end. It is a fast, easy read but completely enjoyable, and it is very easy to relate to (especially if you're a nerdy book lover like me!). I recommend this to anyone, even if you're not a romance fan. This is a different kind of love story and is not too gushy and romantic. It makes you laugh right out loud and truly pulls you in by each character.

I strongly recommend that you check it out!!

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

In this world there is silver blood and red blood. If you’re silver you’re practically royalty living a luxurious lifestyle in a time where others are struggling. But if you’re red you’re pretty much nothing and have nothing. Silvers have powers and reds don’t which makes Mare totally different from everyone else. Mare gets a job in the palace and learns that she has electric abilities like a silver but still clearly has red blood. To cover this up the king and queen make up a story and betroth her to their youngest son. Throughout the book Mare has to chose who's side she's on and what she is going to do to help save everyone. This is a good, suspenseful book with some romance and betrayal. I recommend this to any futuristic, post-apocalyptic, book lovers who also enjoy a little romance! This book truly keeps you on your toes. It reminds me of The Lunar Chronicles in many ways.

Drowning is Inevitable by Shalanda Stanley

Always living in your mother's shadow is hard. Olivia's mother killed herself three days after Olivia was born. Olivia's father has a hard time being around Olivia because she looks so much like her mother, so Olivia lives with her grandmother. Olivia's grandmother calls her Lillian(Olivia's mom) and doesn't seem to remember that Olivia isn't Lillian. Olivia just wants to make it to 18 (the age her mother was when she died) and then she'll start planing her life, but everything goes wrong when Olivia's best friend Jamie does something terrible and they have to run. This book is a definite head spin where you don't ever expect what will happen next. If you enjoy suspense, books that keep you on your toes, this is a book for you. It is very BAM BAM BAM, at most spots and is very unpredictable at times.
