Waiting on Wednesday (#39) - The Infinite Moment of Us by Lauren Myracle

Waiting on Wednesday is Hosted by Jill @ Breaking The Spine

For as long as she can remember, Wren Gray’s goal has been to please her parents. But as high school graduation nears, so does an uncomfortable realization: Pleasing her parents once overlapped with pleasing herself, but now . . . not so much. Wren needs to honor her own desires, but how can she if she doesn’t even know what they are?
Charlie Parker, on the other hand, is painfully aware of his heart’s desire. A gentle boy with a troubled past, Charlie has loved Wren since the day he first saw her. But a girl like Wren would never fall for a guy like Charlie—at least not the sort of guy Charlie believes himself to be.
And yet certain things are written in the stars. And in the summer after high school, Wren and Charlie’s souls will collide. But souls are complicated, as are the bodies that house them . . .
Sexy, romantic, and oh-so-true to life, this is an unforgettable look at first love from one of young adult fiction’s greatest writers.

Why I'm Waiting For It: Contemporaries has been a genre that I love reading and while some are amazing others falls short. The Infinite Moment of Us sounds amazing and the cover had this sky cover that makes me want to grab this! Crossing my fingers it turns to be a great read :D

From Goodreads

John Green is nothing short of brilliant.

The Fault In Our Stars was one of the most refreshing, absorbing, and hands down pure awesomeness! With all the books I read in 2013, TFIOS makes it to the top of the list! Perfect characters, witty and humorous dialogue, and indescribable. Anyone will fall in love with John Green after reading this! With TFIOS being my first John Green book, I'm happy to say it won't be my last.

Hazel, a young and upcoming character of age is diagnosed with a tumor that is shrinking, she finds something out of the ordinary, Augustus Waters. Hazel was such a perfect narrator for TFIOS, she was real and raw and I loved her guts! Augustus is someone Hazel wants to experience, he's wild and full of revelations Hazel never knew she can undercover in her life. Augustus was perfect for complementing Hazel! There was a real sense of connection between them and I loved it when they said sarcastic remarks towards each other! I loved Hazel and Gus a lot and I honestly wished the book was longer just so we can see more of them. John Green trailed her characters perfectly and you'll fall in love with each one since the first page :)

TFIOS hits every note in a great contemporary novel. I was expecting something sad and depressing, my TFIOS was tenderhearted and warming. Even when John Green surprises readers towards the end, I felt so real and I honestly cried. *sobs* It's probably the first contemporary that made me sob right next to Thirteen Reasons Why, and with the water works made me love it even better! Hazel's story is real and came alive on every page. 

The Fault In Ours Stars will make you 

cry, 

laugh, 

and bawl. 

There's just no other way to say how amazing this book is and John Green is full of brilliant for writing this!! Pick this book up now no matter what. Go out and grab it!

She's aware of a struggle within herself, an inexplicable pull toward danger, but it isn't until she turns sixteen and meets the alluring Kaidan Rowe that she discovers her terrifying heritage and her willpower is put to the test. He's the boy your daddy warned you about. If only someone had warned Anna.Forced to face her destiny, will Anna embrace her halo or her horns? 

From Goodreads

I needed a really good paranormal read for summer and no doubt I picked up Sweet Evil and it makes me want to read paranormal all over again. Sweet Evil does paranormal in YA justice, and it was fresh, new, and provocative. Sweet Evil was a perfect paranormal read filled with hot romance, action, and a new take on the deadly sins. 

Going into Sweet Evil, I thought it wouldn't be my type of book, Wendy Higgins turned it around when I started to read fast and seeing where Anna goes. Wendy's writing is what gets you hooked, full on insta - hooked. I also loved how she took a different approach to bad influences on teens and the deadly sins. Anna Whitt was born with a sixth sense to feel and see the emotions of other people. She's struggle with her abilities and when she has a growing pull to captivating Kaiden Rowe she has no idea what she's getting into. There was so many great and steamy scenes with Anna and Kaiden that it felt so real. Wendy wrote very simple but she adds depth that make it even better! *Nods head* When it gets to these steamy scenes, Wendy's writing screams full on provocative!



With Anna's ability also come a history she also learns more about her dad, mom, Kaiden, and herself. I loved reading all about the deadly sins (there was even a glossary in the back that explains each sin with a characters name), the fall of the demons and angels, it was all so absorbing and engaging.  I like how Kaiden revealed what Anna is in great scenes that really capture great moments in the book. Sweet Evil does paranormal in YA justice, it wasn't like any other paranormal read I read and I'm dying to figure what happens with Anna and Kaiden, but also if she'll turn to the halo or the horns? Honestly, picked Sweet Evil up now! It was such a mind blowing debut that has great romance, scorching scenes, and heart racing choices. Sweet Evil is a must read for any paranormal reader!
