Hey everyone, I'm back again with a review. I am reviewing "Wedding Night" by Sophie Kinsella. I just finished this book last night. It took me 4 hours to finish it. It was so good, I didn't want to put it down! Let's get on with the review.

The Plot

Wedding Night is about a girl named Lottie. Lottie is really happy with her boyfriend, Richard. She loves him and wants to be with him forever. One day, Richard asks her to meet him at a restaurant because he has "big news" for her. Lottie is so excited. She thinks Richard is finally going to propose to her. She tells everyone that he's going to propose to her, but she's wrong. He doesn't propose to her. Richard didn't even think about marriage so Lottie gets really upset. She ends up breaking up with him. A couple days later, Lottie gets back in touch with this guy named Ben. She had a fling with him and dated him when she was young. Ben talks to her about marriage and asks her to marry him. Lottie says yes. She doesn't care about Richard anymore, she thinks Ben is perfect for her. So then they get married. 

Then there's Fliss. Fliss is Lottie's older sister. She had a rough marriage. She got a divorce with her husband, Daniel and she has a son named Noah. When she finds out Lottie is marrying Ben, she gets really mad. Their marriage is totally rushed and happened way too fast. Fliss doesn't want her sister to go through what she did. She knows Ben and Lottie aren't the perfect couple and she thinks their marriage was a mistake. She tries to convince Lottie to not marry Ben but she doesn't listen. Lottie tells Fliss one of the main reasons why she's marrying Ben is so she can have sex with him. Lottie made a rule that she can't have sex until marriage. Her and Ben couldn't wait so they got married really fast. Fliss doesn't want her sister's marriage to fall apart, so she does everything she can to stop them from having sex on her honeymoon. Will Lottie's marriage fall apart? Read the book to know what happens.

My Opinion

This is the fourth book I've read from Sophie Kinsella and it's my favorite book from her. This book got mixed reviews. People say it's not as good as her other books but I loved this book so much! I cannot tell you guys how much I loved this book. It was so entertaining to read. 

The Characters:

I really liked the characters in this book. Sophie Kinsella's characters are so funny and likable. I liked the main character, Lottie. She's very naive and stupid at times, but I really liked her. She was entertaining to read, and she was a good person. I liked how she always saw the bright side to every situation, even though she was going through a rough time. 

I really liked her sister, Fliss. Fliss was a little overprotective and she was sort of a control freak but I liked her. She really cared about Lottie and tried to help her. I could see why she did what she did. It wasn't very nice, but she was only trying to protect her sister.

I didn't really like Ben. I liked him at first. He got annoying after a while. I really liked Richard, I could see why Lottie loved him. I liked the side characters like Noah and Lorcan. All the characters were well developed. 

I loved the plot for this book. It was so funny to read about. This book actually teaches you a lesson. I'm not gonna say what it is, because it would spoil the book. I think this book is pretty realistic, it could happen in real life. It keep me entertained throughout the whole book, I was never bored. Some people said the book was predictable. I didn't think it was predictable at all. I sort of spoiled myself so I knew what happened at the end, and I was still shocked. The way Sophie wrote the book, you couldn't really tell what was going to happen next. 

Let's talk about the writing. I love Sophie's writing style. It's so entertaining but she's so good at writing dialogue. She's one of my favorite authors. 

Overall, this book was just so funny and entertaining. I loved it so much. If you're looking for a funny, light beach read, I would recommend this book. This is my favorite book from Sophie Kinsella and I can't wait to read "I've Got Your Number." I think this book is worth a buy. That's my review. Thank you so much for reading. I will have a review on my channel soon so stay tuned for that, bye!:)          

 

 

Book Review: Pretty Little Liars

Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard

(Pretty Little Liars #1)

Edition-Ebook/Kindle edition

5/5 Lily Pads

No Spoilers!

I wouldn't recommend this book for anyone under 16 years old. It has swearing, references to sexual content, some drinking and mentions cutting. 

I want to start this review by saying I was never interested in reading this book/series. I never saw the TV show and I never knew what it was about. That all changed when I started watching Rachel(my booktube friend). This series is one of her favorite series. She loves it so much and I have similar taste in books as her so I thought I would try it. I actually got it on my kindle for free, that was lucky. I actually read this for a read-along hosted by Rachel(thelittlereadinglamb). She is doing a read-along on goodreads. Every month we read one book from the series, so I read it in January.

Okay, anyway sorry for that long intro. Let's get on with the review. 

The Plot

I'm not going to describe the plot much because this book is one of those books that you should go into not knowing anything about it, because it makes it more fun to read. That's what I did and it made my experience awesome because I didn't know what I was getting into. This book has lots of mystery in it. 

It's basically about a group of 4 girls. Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily have been best friends for years. They were really close. It all changed 3 years ago when their good friend, Alison disappeared for no reason. No one knows why she left and what happened to her. It turns out the girls have some secrets of their own. They end their friendship and go their own ways. While they live their lives they keep getting texts and emails from someone named "A". They don't know who "A" is and it turns out "A" knows all their deepest secrets. Will they discover who is behind all the texts? Will they find out what happened to Alison? Read the book to find out. 

My Opinion

This book really surprised me.  I'm surprised by how much I loved it. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but I was wrong. The characters weren't very likable and that's why I liked the book. I like reading books where I can't relate to it. I couldn't relate to the characters at all, I love reading characters who are so different from me. However, my favorite characters are Aria and Spencer. I liked their stories the best. The book is told in third person, and each chapter is about a different character. I thought the plot was cool and unique. The plot made the book addicting to read. I really wanted to know who "A" is. The pacing was perfect. I'm not really sure what genre this book is. I know it's Young Adult because the characters are in high school. I think it's contemporary with mystery in it. I liked the author's writing, it was very simple. I loved this book because there's lots of dialogue in it, and I love books with dialogue more than description. That's why I love contemporary books. If you love contemporary books with some mystery I would highly recommend this book. I have to warn you though, if you want to read this book, I recommend to buy the second book "Flawless" with it because it ends on a huge cliffhanger. At the end I was so shocked and I needed to know what happens next. 

Last weekend I went on a trip to New Hampshire to visit my Grandparents. I went to a bookstore and they had a bind-up of the first two books. I had to buy it since I didn't have a physical copy of the first book. I'm so happy I bought it because now I will be participating in the read-along this month for "Flawless". 

So that's my review. I hope you enjoyed it. If your looking for a quick, entertaining contemporary book with some mystery I would recommend this book. I heard the books are a lot different than the show, but I would still recommend reading this. Also, join the read-along if your interested. Like I said we read one book a month. I highly recommend this book and I think it's worth a buy. So that's my review, thank you so much for reading. I will have a review on my channel soon, I just have to edit and upload it :) Bye!
