(Honestly, I have nothing against NA when it’s done right. This was Young Adults in College + life issues = NA. I was so happy that this book was not “teens + lots of sex” like a lot of NA books out there that I shall not name. Not everyone that is in college is having sex all the time or with a person they just met. When things get complicated between her and someone else (cough*my new secret lover*cough), she takes control of the situation and says BACK OFF I NEED SPACE and not only do we see a FEMALE character that says it, but we see a MALE character that LISTENS to what she wants.įourth, I want to say that I LOVED that this didn’t have sexy times (well except for that one scene towards the end, but it’s not really described soooo I don’t count it).

She finds out her boyfriend cheats on her and she breaks up with him and is all like GOODBYE WE AINT NEVAH EVAH GONNA BE TOGETHER AGAIN. Third, I want to address the fact that the main female character, Sydney, is written as a strong female character. The social activist in me was just bursting with joy. Hoover addressed the fact that people who are deaf or that have any other disability are NORMAL. Secondly, two of the characters in the story had disabilities and they were not seen as less or inferior. I have been spoiled and I want every book to be an interactive experience because it just made everything ten times better. The songs were made especially for the BOOK. This book is a music lovers dream come true.įirst off, let me just say that I FREAKING loved that this was an interactive book and that every single one of the songs that was is in the book EXISTS. Yes, it brings up a lot of issues that you are dealing with or makes you deal with them. Yes, it will leave you in a puddle of feels. Yes, it is as good as everyone says it is. Those are my fangirling thoughts of the book. So I bought it and thought to my self “My Body is Ready!” Review: When their inevitable encounter happens, they soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one… My Initial Thoughts:Īll I knew was that Colleen Hoover is an author loved by many and that a few of my book tumblr friends were going crazy about it. And there’s something about Sydney that Ridge can’t ignore, either: He seems to have finally found his muse. She can feel the harmony and vibrations in his music. She can’t take her eyes off him or stop listening to the daily guitar playing he does out on his balcony. Sydney becomes captivated by her mysterious neighbor, Ridge Lawson. But everything changes when she discovers Hunter cheating on her with Tori-and she is left trying to decide what to do next. At twenty-two years old, aspiring musician Sydney Blake has a great life: She’s in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her good friend, Tori.
