Blurb:
An ambitious intern. A perfectionist executive. And a whole lot of name calling. 

Whip-smart, hardworking, and on her way to an MBA, Chloe Mills has only one problem: her boss, Bennett Ryan. He's exacting, blunt, inconsiderate—and completely irresistible. A Beautiful Bastard.

Bennett has returned to Chicago from France to take a vital role in his family's massive media business. He never expected that the assistant who'd been helping him from abroad was the gorgeous, innocently provocative—completely infuriating—creature he now has to see every day. Despite the rumors, he's never been one for a workplace hookup. But Chloe's so tempting he's willing to bend the rules—or outright smash them—if it means he can have her. All over the office. 

As their appetites for one another increase to a breaking point, Bennett and Chloe must decide exactly what they're willing to lose in order to win each other.

“I didn’t know,” he whispered. “I didn’t know I could love you so much.”

                For those of you who follow my on Instagram, you’d know that I am a big sucker for erotic/ romance reads. So this was nothing short of fun and sexy. It was also a very easy and quick read and it took me three days to read. That may seem like a long time but given the circumstances it was a fairly quick read. Before this book I didn’t think I ever read or even heard of Christina Lauren. It was wrong I scrolled on Christina Lauren’s Instagram page and found out that she wrote the book “The House”.  Sadly I did not enjoy that book at all. I actually didn’t even finish reading that book. Even though I didn't like her previous work, I didn’t let that affect my opinion on her future books.
                I really enjoyed reading Beautiful Bastard and learning about each character and how they interact with each other. I personally enjoyed how childish they were with each other. To add to how hot they were, the sex scenes were hot and steamy; Sex in an office? Yes please.
                I was able to connect with Chloe a lot more than Bennett Ryan, Chloe's boss. Chloe is a young, beautiful, and very smart woman. She was a very feisty and very sarcastic character. To that I was able to relate and understand her more. Her character was very intriguing and I could understand why Bennett was drawn to her in the first place. The only thing I dislike about books in general specifically erotica’s and some romances are how fake it all seems. The plots are not very realistic in my opinion and that makes it kind of a drag. You only see these unfold in books or movies. Regardless this was a fun and sexy read. 

A Brilliant Madness - Robert M. Drake

Goodreads rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Happy new year! 2016 is now in the past and we can move on with 2017. Since this is a new year, that calls for new goals. I've made several New Year's resolutions for myself this year, some are book related resolutions and some are not. For book related resolutions, I boosted up my reading goal to 50 books this year. Last year the goal was 40 books and I finish the year off with the 46 books. So that means I have a lot more reading to do. 

The next goal is to post more reviews. Last year I was not able to review all the books I read and that made me want to make this a goal. I want to keep this blog up and running all year round.  I want to watch  my Instagram, Twitter, and Blog continue to grow. So this means I should be writing and posting 50 or more book review this year. With that said, this lead me into the first book review of the year.

 A Brilliant Madness this is a collection of beautiful poetry and art work done by the author himself, Robert M. Drake. This book is very real and laced with the sad truth about love,  pain, heart break, and the ugly truth about the world. It is written very nicely and I love the artwork that one along with each poem. I have never read anything like this book before and I am excited and happy this was the first read of the year. 

On another note, I was able to connect with some of R. M's pieces, while others I agreed with 100%.  My favorite pieces were "CONSUMES US ALL" , "BECOME SUN" , "ONE THING CANNOT GET OLD" , and many others. I think the best part about reading this book was that it gives me the push I need to start writing my poetry again. I have not been able to write the way I use to in years. I want to get back to that point again and make poetry one of my priorities. 

To conclude this book review, this book will definitely be recommended to my friends and everyone on my social medias. Thank you for taking the time to read this review. I am truly thankful for everyone that took the time to read this book review.

Book Review - "Stepping Stone" - Dakota Willink

Goodreads rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dakota Willink was kind enough to send me a copy of her first novel of the Stepping stone series, Heart of Stone. I loved that book and I gave it a 5 star rating. And once I found out that book two was coming out, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.

On her instagram she was looking for beta readers for the second installment, Stepping Stone. So anyone that was interested could sign up on her website. So I decided to sign up and I was hoping I would be lucky enough to be chosen as a beta reader. All the entries would be chosen at random. Knowing me, I didn’t expect to win anything. I never win anything when I enter for a contest, giveaway, or anything else really. So I believe weeks has passed since I signed up to win a chance and when I checked my email I was shocked to see that I was one of six or seven people chosen. I was more than excited when I opened the email.

I, of all people was actually chosen for this. I am so honored and happy to help in any way I could. Once I was able to download the file on my kindle, I was ready to dive right into this sexy read. So my job was to help find any plot holes, any grammar mistakes, anything that doesn’t fit right and point them out to Dakota. This phase is very important to authors in general. So my job was crucial to her and the whole editing process of getting Stepping Stone published. I couldn’t wait to stick my head right in.

So I found myself binge reading and falling in love all over again with Krystina and Alexander’s crazy love. They’re so cute and their love gets hot and steamy very quickly.  I enjoyed being able to grow with the characters as well as the author herself. I found myself getting lost inside their world. Dakota Willink does an amazing job creating a world filled with love, pleasure, pain, and craziness, a world you won’t be able to escape.  I felt the pain of their past of both Krystina and Alexander. Even through the hard times, they both grew into very strong and successful individuals and when they’re together, they’re stronger than they think. This made the book even more personal for me.

This happens to be my favorite sequel so far this year and no I'm not just saying this just because. I’m being 100% truthful. This series is adorable and very sexy. Their sex life has me on edge and I can’t wait for book three.

I want to thank you Dakota for giving me this opportunity to help you and giving me a chance to grow as a writer myself. You have been nothing short of amazing and I can’t appreciate your friendship enough. The best part is I am being sent the final copy of Stepping Stone in a physical copy. Now I have to go and buy Heart of Stone for my shelf.

On Goodreads this book deserved its rating. I gave it a 5 out of 5 star rating. I loved every second of reading and if you enjoy some steamy reads and romance then this series is for you. So if you’d like to know more about Dakota and the Stepping Stone series visit her on instgram @DakotaWillink and her website www.dakotawillink.com

Book Review - "November 9" - Colleen Hoover

November 9 by Colleen Hoover

Goodreads rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I thought I was stronger than a word, but I just discovered that having to say goodbye to you is by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do."

      You know the funny thing is that I first I was gonna pick this book up at all. My initial thought when I saw the book and read the back blurb was that it was going to be boring or something I would not like to read. Let's just say that it was a good thing I did pick it up.

      I should've known that this book was going to be nothing short of amazing. For the first chapter, I knew I wouldn't be able to put this book down. I personally think that all books that Colleen Hoover writes are simply beautiful. For the few books that I have read from her they were nothing short of amazing. Her stories create a world the drags me in and I get attached to the characters, to their ups and downs, their drama and the love.

      November 9 is based on two people from different worlds and they need one day under weird circumstances. They made a promise to each other, no matter what, and no matter where they are they have to meet up once a year on November 9. If you read that it may leave you with some questions, but that's what pulls you in. You'll learn about each character and how they develop or fall apart within these beautiful book. 

      My favorite character would have to be Fallon. I was able to connect with her more than anyone. She has her probl ems and she copes with them in her own way; which makes her strong and beautiful. I don't want to ruin anything about her that you will learn in the book. But she is a strong, beautiful, and troubled woman who has been through a lot and she's coping. She isn't letting it get to her. It took a lot of time for her to grow and learn to accept her challenge and that's what makes her so relatable. 

      On Goodreads I gave this beauty of five out of five star rating. This book is probably one of my favorite books of 2016. I talk highly of this book to my friends or anyone that needs a recommendation to read. I simply loved it and I'm so happy I own this book and it's displayed on my bookshelf with the other Colleen Hoover books I own.

Book Review - "One With You' - Sylvia Day

Book Review - "One With You' - Sylvia Day

                Please excuse me while I fan girl right now! You do not understand how excited I was when I stumbled across the news of the final installment of the Crossfire series. So I was walking to the train to go home from work, I was really into my music and I was staring at every advertisement and how graffiti decorated the walls. Then there it was, plastered on the wall with no artwork painted on it. Sylvia Day’s newest release to the Crossfire series “One with You”. I did a double take, thinking my eyes were deceiving me of this wonderful poster. But in fact it wasn’t, this beauty was real and there would be closure for Eva and Gideon’s relationship.

                I’ve been waiting for this for the longest time now. The last book I read of the series was in July 2015. That’s a very long time for me to wait to see what happens in their crazy lives. I just knew that this book will be the cherry on top of the sundae. I had to wait a few months to get my hands on this beauty. When I did finally get my hands around the perfect spine, I almost died. My heart shattered into a million pieces, I enjoyed it though. The cover, the one, the thickness, everything was simply beautiful. When I started reading I couldn’t stop. I have followed since 2012. That’s a very long time being a fan of Sylvia Day’s work. Being able to watch Eva and Gideon grow and work together was a great pleasure and I couldn’t help but be in complete awe.  

                I don’t think I have anything negative to say about this book. Well I know that everything is completely fictional and it is a bummer because their relationship was so cute and hot. Realistically this never happens and a lot of erotica’s’ today tend to follow very similar outlines. This series have been compared to the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. Let me just say that it is similar in some aspects of it but overall the Crossfire series beats Fifty Shades for creativity, writing styles, character development and growth.

                In my opinion I liked both Eva and Gideon equally. On both cases they have done their own share of dirt in their past and both owned up to it and were able to leave it in the past and grow together. They were so perfect for each other at the end of the day. Their differences were a huge thing but love overcame anything else. They both grew up both alone and as a couple. I literally cannot get over that this was the end of the series. My heart broke but it was a great four years with Eva, Gideon, and Sylvia Day.

                Now for the ratings, on Goodreads and Amazon I gave this beauty a solid 5 out of 5 stars. If you didn’t catch the drift yet, I simply loved this book and I highly recommend this series to everyone who likes sex, love, and books. 

Book Review - "Teach Me" - Phoenix

“I will take you on a journey through the scandalous relationship of an unhappily college professor. Aminah Goodwin has fallen victim to her own lust and the charm of one of her students, Michah Ford."

                Now if that doesn’t drag you in, then you're crazy. This sounded like a drama waiting to blow up. I was very interested in unfolding the drama within the pages. To add to the delight, the author herself sent me a signed copy to read and review. I personally enjoy getting free copies of books to read and review. If it was a job then I’d be the happiest person alive right now. I know I’m very late on this review but I’ve been so busy and I have slacked off a lot in keeping my blog up to date with each book I have read this year.

                Normally I'm very picky about the books I read and I tend to stay in my comfort zone a lot when it comes to reading. Thankfully Teach Me was right up my alley. It had a bit of suspense, drama, and sex. Now any book with those three elements has my heart. I enjoyed the easy and fast read.

                What I loved about this book was that it was a quick and easy read for me. I also had a lot of sticky notes throughout the book of quotes I really liked and thought was cute. Another pro was that it was able to hold my attention from the start to the finish. And finally the drama; I love drama and it was something that could actually happen in real life. So that made it so much more interesting.

With every pro there is a con to follow it normally. Well in this case, there were a few cons sadly. The first one was it was very predictable and I like the shock element in a story. I'm not saying it made the book bad, it really was interesting. The next con was the characters. I found them to be very annoying but I understood Aminah and why she did what she did. I don’t agree to what she did and there were other ways to deal with things when you are unhappy in a relationship. I don’t support cheating but I've been in a relationship where I was very unhappy but I never cheated but I can relate to her.

So now for the rating, I actually couldn’t find this book on Goodreads so I wasn’t able to rate it properly. But I did give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars. I just want to thank Phoenix for giving me the opportunity to read her book as well as rate it and recommend it to my friends. 

Book Review - Chasers of the Light - Tyler Knott Gregson

“I love you,

in ways

you've never been

loved,

for reasons you've never been

told,

for longer than you think you

deserved

and with more

than you will ever know existed

inside

me.” 

         This beautiful book was a gift from my (ex) partner and it holds a very special place in my heart. I have been wanting to read this book for over a year now and my girlfriend went online and bought me it. She also ordered “I Wrote This for You” and “I Wrote This for You and Only You” by Pleasefindthis. I was so happy and couldn’t wait to read, take pictures of them, and find a special place for them on my book shelves. Not only do I love books, I love poetry books with beautiful photography and artwork. So reading Chasers of the light was nothing short of beautiful. It was an easy read and had a very pleasurable ending that had my heart in pieces.

            Throughout the entire book, I kept thinking of my (ex) girlfriend. How could I not? It was a gift from her and she’s my girlfriend so she’s always on my mind. I guess other than it was a gift, the major reason why I love this book so much is because I am a writer myself and I used to write a lot of poetry and even stories. But now I can’t seem to get a completed poem on paper. This book made me want to go back to being that poet that was able to create a new world within minutes. Chaser of the Light gave me motivation and made me want to reignite the passion I used to hold.

            I really do not have anything negative to say about this book except that it was short. I wished it was the size of a normal book. I think that would have made my life complete. With that said now I have only positive things about this and I would love to share the reasons why it means a lot to me.

1)      Poetry. I love poetry and writing is something I am very passionate about. I have a lot of journals and loose papers with poetry written all over. One day I am hoping to have my own work published in a book.

2)      Love. It gives me hope for love. I use to give up on everything and everyone. But poetry in general gives me hope in something I can’t see just yet.

3)      It’s beautiful. Not only does the cover and the pages look beautiful but the writing style and how each poem was placed and put together made it complete.

Overall this book was written very beautifully and I couldn’t help fall in love with everything about this book. I have highly recommended this book to several people and im getting my sister to read it as well. Now for the rating, if you couldn’t have guess it already this book clearly deserves a 5 out of 5 star review. Tyler Knott Gregson is a wonder author and poet. I couldn’t be more thankful for a book at this point in my life. 

Book Review - Real (Real Series #1) - Katy Evans

Books! Books! Books! Books! I love me some books. I love books but I’m pretty picky about what books I read and what books I own. For those of you that know me or at least have been either following me on Instagram or Twitter should know that I do enjoy erotica romance novels. Not
saying that I read them all the time but once in a while I will indulge in an erotica. I’m also very picky about what kind of erotica I read and if I don’t like the story line then I won’t read it. I won’t give the book the time of the day. I know that’s not good but I have a lot of other choices to pick from.

For my next read I was in the mood for an erotic. Luckily for me the most recent book an author sent me fell under the erotica category. Katy Evans is a New York Times & USA Today bestselling author. She is known for 
the Real series and the Manwhore series. I was actually sent the first installment of the Real Series, Real. I was super excited getting this beauty in the mail.

For those of you who has never heard of the Real series or Katy Evans, her books are aimed for 18 years and older. Katy Evans isn’t afraid to get down and dirty… with her novels of course. The Real series follows Remington Tate, a fallen boxer with a bad boy reputation and Brooke Dumas, a woman with broken dreams. Remington locks eyes on Brooke and it was over right then and there. Brooke is hired as Remington’s Lucrative sports therapist, making sure his rock hard body stays in shape.

As I was reading, I got lost in the one and only Remington. I always wondered what really goes on in his head. I’m pursuing psychology so what goes on in someone’s head really interests me and I want to know more. When he was training, he was dedicated and seem to be lost inside his mind and It always had me wondering what drives him to be the person he is and why he became that way. There was a lot of questions I wish I could ask him If he were real. I actually pictured several celebrities that would play his character perfectly if it were to become a movie.

            He was my favorite character for several reasons;

• The way he carries himself. I do no
  t know how to really explain it but the fierceness and the strength he carries. Whether he’s in the ring or outside, he carries himself with such force that makes everyone around him fear him.
• How private he is. He isn’t much of a talker. He keeps to himself and when he needs to talk, he’ll talk. He isn’t someone to share his feelings on the regular.
• The strength and realness of his love. He showed in the book his love for Brooke by putting her before himself. He made sure she was safe and had everything she needed.

There wasn’t much that I didn’t like about this read. This wasn’t actually an erotic I was expecting but it wasn’t disappointing. The only thing that kind of bothers me is how the things came about. In my head I’m like “This could never actually happen in real life. Like how does he know she’s the one? Has he been stalking her or something? Creep much?” but other than that I didn’t really dislike anything.

I personally enjoyed reading and learning about each character. This actually makes me want to finish the series. Each of the books follow each character and their perspectives. It would give me a better insight on what goes on in Remington’s head. There are a total of 6 books as of right now in the series.

Now for the ratings, on Goodreads I gave Real a 4 out of 5 stars. I would actually recommend this read to people that are into romantic reads. So if you would like to learn more about the series or the author check out her website at http://www.katyevans.net/ . I just want to thank Katy Evans for sending me your work, it was a delight to read and I cannot wait to finish off the series and find out what happens to Remington and Brooke.

Book Review - FlightLess Bird - Bret Bucci

            You never judge a book by its cover, or its storyline, or even the genre it may fall under. I’ve heard this many times before and this probably won’t be the last. To be completely honest, I judged this book. I had a negative feeling towards it. I knew it dealt with the supernatural and things out of this world and that’s something I do not particularly enjoy reading about unless it was non-fiction. In this case it was complete fiction. If I was in a book store and I came across this book I’d probably not buy this book on my own free will. I’m being honest and I know that sounds very harsh. But luckily the author Bret Bucci sent her first novel, Flightless Bird, to me in return I write an honest review of it.

            When I received the book it looked so pretty and felt very soft. I loved touching it and feeling the cover. She even signed the book for me. I didn’t know what to expect and I was kind of expecting the worst. So when I did decide to read it, I was trying to keep an open mind about it. Keeping an open mind was easier than I expected. The first page changed everything for me, not even the full first page, the first couple of sentences had me draw in. I was hooked instantly. I don’t want to spoil anything so let’s say it was an awesome read.

            When I said I became hooked, I became hooked to the book. I literally carried this book with me everywhere I went. I really appreciated the characters and I honestly never thought that I would like this book that much. I don’t have any friends that are into reading like I do so I had no one to talk to about this book. So my last resort was my mom. I kept talking to my mom like she cares about what I’m reading. I read her the first couple of sentences that had me fangirling. As a reader and writer, I tend to add post it everywhere and use it to bookmark things for my reviews or even to save a quote. Throughout the entire book I had to use a lot post it notes.

            Who knew that I would like a book that is out of my comfort zone? I felt like that the way the characters were described and portrayed was simple yet very complicated. I really enjoyed the connection each character has with one another. There were a few funny moments in the book that had my hear smiling. That’s a major plus, If I’m able to feel some type of emotion because of it a book, is simply moving. My favorite character would have to be Sage. I was able to connect with her and understand where she was coming from and understand why she does what she does. I agree with Sage on why she sold her soul to the devil in the first place. Trust me id do that same if it meant saving my family if things had to come to it.

            Now for the things that bothered me. For starters, the cliff-hangers at the end. Seriously? I was so into the book and for it to end the way it did broke my heart. The only perk was that I’d give me a reason to go buy nook two. The next thing that bothered me was Sage and Beliial (her guardian angel)’s relationship. The way that they connected made me happy and filled with romance. Let’s hope that he comes back in book two.

            Now for an honest rating, I gave this book a 5 out of 5 stars only because I enjoyed reading it and taking notes. It hands down deserved it and I actually disappointed that I judged this book way before I gave it a chance.   You never judge a book by its cover, or its storyline, or even the genre it may fall under. I also would love to thank Bret Bucci for sending me her work. It was such a delight and pleasure.

Book Review - "Heart of Stone" - Dakota Willink

      Ever since I have created a social medias dedicated to strictly books, quotes, basically anything related to books I post. So with that I have a twitter and I try to post regularly about books, how far along I am in what I'm reading, or I'm promoting my blog. To my surprise I have gotten some messages from authors themselves asking for me to review their book for them. That makes me more than happy to do so. So I have messaged some authors about their books and my interest in reviewing their work. With that I have been open about reviewing some books that are outside my comfort zone and I am not going to turn someone down just because I do not read that type of genre. I am willing to give anyone a chance. With that Dakota Willink and I have had contact with each other over Instagram and Twitter. She was more than happy to send me a PDF file of her first book in The Stone series "Heart of Stone".
      I honestly never heard of Dakota Willink or of her series before and I was debating on whether or not I really wanted to read this book. But since it was sent to me by the author herself I could not turn her down and I am glad I didn't turn her book down. When we sent tweets to one another I didn't even look up what the book was even about but I was still going to read it and I'm glad I did. I became addicted to reading. I remember beginning this book on my way to and from Connecticut and the train ride was about an hour and a half, so I had a good amount of time on my hands to read. Even after reading this on the train ride, I started reading this everywhere I went from the train to work and from work. Every time someone saw I was reading. I finished this book in no time and I cannot wait to read the second book in The Stone series.
      This book is basically Fifty Shades of Grey but better. I'm not saying that Fifty Shades was bad but this book was executed better. The main characters were Krystina Cole and Alexander Stone and they both hold a fierce attraction to each other. I think that a lot of eroticas tend to follow the same outline and vary from one another in a few ways but they follow the same execution. But I was glad to see that this book wasn't a retelling of Fifty Shades.
      As for the story, it was put together very nicely and I liked the description of the characters as well as the steamy scenes. The only thing I think many of the readers disliked was the cliffhanger. I love/hate cliffhangers because I want to know what happens and I want to see how the story unfolds. But on the other hand I love the suspense cliffhangers give to me. Dakota Willink did a wonderful job on keeping my attention as well as creating the need to want to know what happens with Krystina and Alexander's relationship. I truly enjoyed watching as Alexander and Krystina's relationship grow and I hope that they don't go their own ways. They are both independent characters and they can stand alone but when they are together, that's when the flames explode. I cannot wait to read book two of the series. I am also anticipating the sex scenes and I hope they a very descriptive. ;]
      When I do reviews on a book given to me or books I buy myself, I make sure I give an honest review to the authors as well as the people who take the time to read my blog. With that on Goodreads I gave Heart of Stone a solid 5 out of 5 just because I didn't want to stop reading it. If you happen to enjoy erotica then I recommend this book to you. To keep updated on the new release of "The Stepping Stone", book two of the series, follow her on twitter, Instagram, and Goodreads @DakotaWillink . Her website is http://www.dakotawillink.com/

Book Review - Confess- Colleen Hoover

“No one deserves you like I do.” …“No one sees you like I do.” …“No one understand you the way I do.” …“No one makes your heart beat like I do.” …He presses his palm against my heart. “And no one else deserves to be inside you if they can’t get there here first.” 

      Hello there! I have to confess something, yell at me for this but this was the first Colleen Hoover book I read or even held. I know, I know I should be ashamed of this. I don't know why it took me this long to get my hands on one of her book, or all in this case. After reading this I went to Barnes and Noble and bought myself all of her books they had in stock. I died, literally I died from happiness that day I am not ashamed of this, after reading this and understanding why a lot of people on booktube as well as bookstgram are raving Colleen Hoover's work. At first I was kind of iffy about her books. When I received the book at the library I didn't know what to expect, I had to keep an open mind and I did.

      I have to say that I regret not reading her books earlier. I simply could not put down this book. I read it everywhere I could from the train to the bus. I love the connection between Auburn and Owen. It was love and the fire and wouldn't die. Another thing I like was the way the story was told it was told from both Auburn and Owens view. I thought that made me fall in love even more. Another thing I liked was the artwork included was a nice touch. It painted a better picture for the reader. Since I now own the book I am planning to actually write poems simply based off the pictures included in the book itself. So whatever comes to mind I will write and just lost myself while I unwind and write. So when I do get around to it I will include the artwork and the poem I wrote.

      I believed that the writing was simple but yet so different and personally I think she did a wonderful job with connecting with the readers; young adults. This book didn't paint a perfect relationship, but a relationship that was real and readers are able to connect more to realistic relationships rather than fairy tale relationships.  

      On Goodreads I rated this book a 5 out of 5 stars. It was that good and Colleen Hoover made me a huge fan from that one book. I cannot wait to start reading her other books. Anyways, thank you for taking the time to read my blog post.

Book Review - Prozac Nation - Elizabeth Wurtzel

Prozac Nation

Hello once again to my blog, if you’re new hello, my name is Sasha and I blog mostly about books and book hauls that I do. But before I get into the topic/idea for this post lets go off topic for a little (not really but ok). Lately I have been buying books and I don’t have anymore space for them. But that probably wont stop me from buying more books.

Anyways back to the review, I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this book. I literally fell in love during the first couple of pages. The book that I will be discussing is “Prozac Nation” by Elizabeth Wurtzel. This book is simply amazing and this was the first memoir that I have ever read. I’m so thankful for picking up this book.

I was in Long Island and I went to a thrift store and I was picking up a bunch of books for such low prices. This literally made me the happiest girl alive. it felt like Christmas came early (Keep in mind I bought all the books in early December). Normally I don’t read books that I own first, I usually borrow most of the books that I read first from the library. But since I didn’t have any library book to read I quickly grabbed any book on my shelf and it happened to be Prozac Nation.

I literally treated this book like a baby, I wouldn’t let anything happen to it. It was in perfect condition and since it was my own copy I had to keep it that way. I literally can’t tell you how much I love this book. I connect to this book on so many levels and its pretty scary.

Elizabeth is battling depression along with multiple other diagnoses. She takes you on a journey with every low she battles. Its like you are there experiencing it all for yourself. She goes into detail with how she’s feeling and she even compares it to certain things, which is really cool and makes you understand what she’s coping with so much better.

I don’t want to spoil anything for those of you who haven’t read this book but want to. But just saying this book will take you on a journey of pain, anger, uncontrollable emotions, and the pains of growing up with mental problems.

Rating time, if you haven’t figured it out already I am going to have to rate this book a 5 out of 5 star rating, the reason why I'm rating it this is because its something I can relate to and it makes me want to read more and more.

Thank you again for taking the time and reading this post. It means a lot and I'm trying to stay on top of my reading this year. So stay tuned.
