5 out of 5 stars

It's hard to rate this book as it is just a collection of 6 word memoirs. However, it is a great collection. Some are sad, some are happy, some are inspirational, some are funny, and some are just ridiculous, but all our meaningful - if not to you to the person who wrote them. I encourage everyone to write their own whether it signifies a time in your life or you life up to this point - It's all about you. 

As a bonus and a shock - my favorite actor and screen crush was featured - Josh Lucas
"Glory developing vital loving fighting life."

Mine - She read her life away (almost).

4.5 out of 5 stars

This book takes place in the real world at present time. However, it reaches another dimension when two very different girls start texting. Zoe and Sam find that they can be “themselves” and share their true feelings in the created world of Starworld. This book is uniquely written in two voices, by two different authors, in two different worlds. It crosses over from reality to fantasy and back again; giving the authors a unique opportunity to reach more readers. Starworld is very gripping, well-written and timely – adults can’t help but enjoy it too.

Great Narrator - Book not so much.

I heard the audio on this one was great and really scary. Therefore, I expected that there would be a little spooky music perhaps? Not only could I not get into the story, kind of childish, it wasn't scary AT ALL. There are much better out there. I should have known since I also didn't care for Perkins book, Anna and the French Kiss, even though I know a lot of readers did.

On the fantastic side, the narrator is phenomenal - Bahni Turpin. She has narrated over 70 books, including The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas and Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon. Both are great audio. I love her.
