The Breakup Support Group by Cheyanne Young | A Book Review

The Break Up Support Group by Cheyanne Young | A Book Review by iamnotabookworm

I won a $10 Amazon card from one of Brenda Drake's giveaway. I used it to buy this book because I really wanted to read this. I signed up for the cover reveal of The Breakup Support Group October last year and I fell in love with the blurb. So, thank you again, Brenda Drake because I finally got my hands on this book.

So, it turned out I did not just fall in love with the blurb. The story was really swoon-worthy. I wanted to join their support group even though my soul is more broken than my heart. To be honest, the story is not so extraordinary but what made it appealing and so spellbinding is the whole support group. Without the presence of the support group this would be just another love story. But with the support group, it took the story to another level and gave it more depth and made it unforgettable. Not to mention the very intriguing title. It demands attention and is shouting "Read Me". The title and the whole story is both very clever that I think this is one of the most captivating, amusing and easy YA romance stories I have read this year. This is an absolute inspirational romance.

Emory Underwood is absolutely a book boyfriend to die for. Emory...what a lovely name. It feels so right to say it. Brooding and mysterious. Exactly my type of guy. Aaahhhh. I felt like a teenager again reading this. I imagined I was Isla. I could totally be her. It was so easy to get lost in her character and channel in the qualities that made Emory so drawn to her. This is a kind of story that I would want to read again and again just to feel better if I feel down and lonely. This will in a way make me cry but at the end will have me smiling from ear to ear. My heart will be pounds lighter. Just to remind you, I don't really do re-reads. I only do if they are incredibly remarkable. This one is.

I give this 5/5 pans of pizza or let's just have a pizza party. Let's celebrate because this book could just be what you  need. This will take your worries away. Not too heavy on the drama but very uplifting and hopeful. An easy yet very satisfying read that will have you high and floating on cloud nine. I certainly dreamed of my own Emory right after reading this. And I was in high spirits when I woke up the next day remembering this fantastic story. This book is definitely the answer or the cure to all broken hearts or even broken spirits like mine.


But I see now that waiting for a true love is exactly what the movies want you to think it is--a fairy tale.

breakup-support-group-cover

After four years of first love bliss, Isla Rush just got dumped.
Any hope she has of winning her ex-boyfriend back is shattered when the town rezones her neighborhood, forcing her to spend senior year at a wealthy high school in the next town over.
With a broken heart consuming her soul, Isla can’t focus on anything, except maybe Emory Underwood—a ridiculously hot guy who dates a new girl almost every day. She can’t help but crush on him, even though it’s wrong.
When memories of her ex make her cry in second period, the school counselor sends Isla to a club that meets during lunch. The Break-Up Support Group is a collection of broken-hearted misfits who are all helping each other heal.
Just when Isla’s heart is finally on the mend, Emory shows up, forced to atone for all the broken hearts he’s caused over the years. While hiding her massive crush, she helps him understand the seriousness of breaking a heart.
In turn, Emory offers to help Isla get back on the dating scene by agreeing to be her fake date for the homecoming dance. Isla gladly accepts the ruse, because if anyone can make her into a desirable girlfriend, Emory can! There's just one small problem.
Isla's little crush on Emory might be exactly full blown. And a homecoming fake date with him could push her over the edge to possibly uttering the "L Word!" 
Isla can't afford another heartbreak so soon after the last one. She will have to resist his charms, refuse to look into those dreamy eyes, and above all else, not make the mistake of letting him kiss her.
If only she hadn't let her guard down at the end of the night, under the light of her porch in a toe-curling kiss moment of weakness. And now, after months of Break-Up Support Group therapy, and with a heart fully on the mend, Isla has just handed it over to a guy who knows full well just how to break it.

Forget Tomorrow (Forget Tomorrow #1) by Pintip Dunn | A Book Review

Forget Tomorrow (Forget Tomorrow #1) by Pintip Dunn Book Review

What if the future has been determined? No more choosing or deciding what career-path you would need to take. Would life be easier and better then?

Forget Tomorrow is a magnificent tale where each person's future is determined by a future memory. Yes, a memory from your future self will be sent on to you on your seventeenth birthday and will decide what you will become. Those who are unfortunate and received a bad memory, like killing someone or turning into a person less likely to benefit society, will be taken by the government. You will be imprisoned for a crime you have not committed yet. Definitely terrifying.

This is probably one of the best dystopian novels I have read. The way it was narrated was very clear. The pages just flowed smoothly mesmerizing me. I never wanted to put the book down. I was held captive and I had no desire to be released. I did not want my freedom back. I just wanted to get trapped in the pages. I just wanted to forget that there's still tomorrow and wanted to spend the rest of the hours lost in its words until there will be no more.

When I think about it, this book is supposed to scare me. The possibilities of a future where choice is robbed makes me want to run for the hills and never return. I think it is a very bleak future if I will not be allowed to make my own decisions and pursue my passions. On the other hand, it would save a great deal of trying and finding what would be a successful venture. But it will also erase the mystery and discovery of the unknown. With real life being as it is, I would not want it to be already laid out before me. I don't want a prepared career or a life that is just handed out to me. I want to work and find what am I good at. And I would want to be surprised of what I am capable of and discover hidden potentials that I never knew existed. 

Yes, admittedly, there are times that I wished things would have been clearer and there was no need to reflect and discern over things but I guess that is the beauty of life. You take what it dishes out but you always have a chance of doing what you really wanted to become. The future is not written in stone. The possibilities are endless and the only thing that limits us is ourselves and our insecurities.

I give this book 5/5 fallen leaves. There is just no substitute for freedom. No matter how advanced our civilization and technology would become, freedom will never become obsolete. It will always be the most treasured possession of every human being or for any species for that matter. Once it's lost, all else is lost, including a person's dignity.



...I hoped the leaves would remind you how it feels to be free. To be able to take whatever path we want and land anywhere we choose.

I won a hardbound copy of Forget Tomorrow as an author giveaway through Goodreads. Thank you again Pintip Dunn and Goodreads.
