People We Meet on Vacation

Published: 11, May 2017
Author: Emily Henry
Genres: Psychological, Romance, Comedy, Fiction, Women, Family, Relationships

This book is about a slow-burn romance that grabs you by the heart and holds you tightly. Books like this are hard to find and feel so short even with this huge page-turner because I always feel, I want more but alas I am already at the last page. It took a big part of a day to finish it including food breaks and a nap on the beach but I was not able to stop as with any good story and characters that feel real and worth caring for.

Some people may not like this but as a reader who is not into romance, I still liked it, not just like a romance, it was funny and the women in this story are funny and this comedy doesn't feel forced.

It is about family, friends, relationships, and love. All of this is perfectly placed and beautiful. But slow if I think from a mind of a reader who is used to reading fast-paced romances and action. To them, this book may feel boring, but if you know what responsibility is and how a person cares for his/her family, then you can follow the story, it is a long story spanning twelve years in the life of two friends to lovers the secret feelings towards each other but not telling has its own beauty and pain at the same time. In simple words a journey of strangers to friends to lovers with so much in between to make you tear up at later parts of the book. I think it is better to share your feelings with everyone, especially with your family and then if you are sure about someone who you think is your soul mate.

For me it was BEAUTIFUL.

The only reason I am not giving full points is the parts that were too slow for some readers, otherwise, it is hundred percent recommended.


Synopsis:
“THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

A TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON SUMMER READS NOMINEE!

Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2021 by Newsweek ∙ Oprah Magazine ∙ The Skimm ∙ Marie Claire ∙ Parade ∙ The Wall Street Journal ∙ Chicago Tribune ∙ PopSugar ∙ BookPage ∙ BookBub ∙ Betches ∙ SheReads ∙ Good Housekeeping ∙ BuzzFeed ∙ Business Insider ∙ Real Simple ∙ Frolic ∙ and more!

Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love.

From the New York Times, bestselling author of Beach Read comes a sparkling new novel that will leave you with the warm, hazy afterglow usually reserved for the best vacations.

Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She’s a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart—she’s in New York City, and he’s in their small hometown—but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together.

Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven't spoken since.

Poppy has everything she should want, but she’s stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together—lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees.

Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?”

They Both Die At The END

Published: 5, September 2017
Author: Adam Silvera
Genres: Science Fiction, Young Adult, Humor, Drama

I was not interested in reading a book with this kind of title, where you can see the ending without reading a word of it. But someone told me about the idea behind this and I loved the background of this story. I am talking about the technology that is involved and basically is the reason why this book’s title is “They Both Die at the End.”

The idea is good but not explained properly for someone like me, who wants to know more of everything but still as a story and a background to this story it is not bad. And the reason I read this book. 

It is weird and kind of feels like an attempt to draw young readers but still, adults are going to get the same punch out of it; maybe more than a youngster is going to get it.

All characters feel so real and are written very well; even the side characters and backstories related to them are connected beautifully and make you realize everyone is alive in this book.

Okay, one thing is very clear, this book is really going to break you and burn your eyes with tears. Don’t read this book if you don’t want to cry because it is going to wrench your heart and make it pump and bleed out of your eyes.

I read lots of comments and requests where people are asking for recommendations on books that are going to make them cry; I dare them all to read this book and then ask the same question again.

This is a book that will remind you to live your life to the maximum every day and love everyone around you. One of the most beautiful stories that I read in a long time. It's heartbreaking but still impossible to put down, you can finish it in under four hours in one sitting but I am sure, you are going to cry for the next four hours after it's finished. The plot's complexity, Silvera's world-building, and the depths into the human mind that he delves into transforming this novel into a portal into the last day in the lives of these people that you are going to feel for and love by the end of this book. This book has all the real-life qualities like hope, sadness, tragedy, love, music, and a lot more; did I mention karaoke?

This book is not easy to read even though it’s not difficult to understand what is happening and that is not a fault of the writer, it is just the hard reality of life that may make it difficult. A thousand percent recommended but don’t forget to read the warning at the end of this review.

Synopsis:
“A love story with a difference - an unforgettable tale of life, loss and making each day count in the NO. 1 BESTSELLING book of TIKTOK fame by Adam Silvera.

On September 5th, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio to give them some bad news: they're going to die today. Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they're both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good news: there's an app for that. It's called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure - to live a lifetime in a single day.

Another beautiful, heartbreaking and life-affirming book from the brilliant Adam Silvera, author of More Happy Than Not, History Is All You Left Me, What If It's Us and the Infinity Cycle series.

PRAISE FOR ADAM SILVERA:
'There isn't a teenager alive who won't find their heart described perfectly on these pages.' Patrick Ness, author of The Knife of Never Letting Go\

'Adam Silvera is a master at capturing the infinite small heartbreaks of love and loss and grief.' Nicola Yoon, author of Everything, Everything

'Bold and haunting.' Lauren Oliver, author of Delirium

'A phenomenal talent.' Juno Dawson, author of Clean and Wonderland”

Warning: Please do not read, I repeat, do not read this book if you had a breakup or you just lost someone and are grieving for someone.

Sphere

Originally Published: 12, May 1987
Author: Michael Crichton
Genres: Science Fiction, Technothriller, TV & Movie Tie-In, Horror, Suspense, Thriller, Sea Adventure, psychological thriller

Before watching Jurassic Park the movie, I had no idea who Michael Crichton is and the movies like Congo, Westworld, and The Andromeda Strain had anything to do with him. One day I was in the book store and saw the novel Jurassic Park and grabbed it as soon as I saw it. The first thing I wanted to know was “who is this ghostwriter called Michael Crichton” and was shocked to know all these movies were adaptations of his books and some movies were actually made by him. He was an amazing writer and I read all his books after that. Sadly he is not with us and we can’t have any more of his great writing and movies.

When you read this book, you miss the writer even more, because he was able to combine so much in one story and was able to pull it off perfectly without burdening or confusing the reader’s mind. Like this book had hard science where he is explaining deep-sea life, and then you are reading about black holes, and then you are diving into the mysteries of the human imagination and the dark parts or shadows of the human mind and unconscious and then he is teaching us the morals and moralities plus so much more.

For me, this book was not that huge even though it has 385 pages on the paperback version, but still, I felt it was too short because you want to read more and more of what is happening and once you realize what is actually happening, you want to see even more ways this story can go on and the possibilities that can come with the knowledge that is happening in the story and with the main characters. The suspense and thrill and the want to know more about the sphere and the mystery surrounding it are going to pound your brain for a long time, even after you finish this book.

The movie adaptation received a mixed reaction but I really enjoyed it. But as with almost every adaptation of a book, this movie has stuff that is changed from what it was in the book. One of my cousin's started screaming and started gasping for air during an intense scene and we had to take him out to get him to calm down.

Like many of my favorite writers, Mr. Michael Crichton was unique because he always came up with great and strange ideas that are kind of realistic if you think of them with an open mind. I'll review all his books with intervals even I know you’ll not get bored if you read all his books as a marathon but still, I must shuffle the reviews to keep all the readers from different genres happy.


Synopsis:
“From the author of Jurassic Park, Timeline, and Congo comes a psychological thriller about a group of scientists who investigate a spaceship discovered on the ocean floor.

In the middle of the South Pacific, a thousand feet below the surface, a huge vessel is unearthed. Rushed to the scene is a team of American scientists who descend together into the depths to investigate the astonishing discovery. What they find defies their imaginations and mocks their attempts at logical explanation. It is a spaceship, but apparently it is undamaged by its fall from the sky. And, most startling, it appears to be at least three hundred years old, containing a terrifying and destructive force that must be controlled at all costs.”
