Review: The ground beneath our feet, Leslie McAdam

The Ground Beneath Our Feet by Leslie McAdam My rating: 3 of 5 stars This book speaks about subjects that matter, it's a story about self acceptance and self love. It is about overcoming your past and taking the leap for your future. Jessica is a young woman who is diagnosed as obese and with diabetic conditions. With ghosts from her past hunting her, she always seeked comfort in food. When she finally decides to start making choices to improve her life, and she moves to Santa Barbara, she meets Mikey, a hot veterinarian who sees her, really sees her, and won't stop until he gets the answer he wants from her. But Mikey also has a past to hide. Will they be able to heal? The premise of the story was hooking, the characters were interesting, but unfortunately, and I feel really bad about it, I couldn't quite connect with it as pretty much everyone else did. I particulary am more fond of action than inner monologue and I think that's what maybe didn't do it...

Review: Hamlet, Shakespeare

Imagen
Hamlet  por  William Shakespeare Mi puntuación: 5 de 5 estrellas Shakespeare es Shakespeare y no hay con qué ganarle. SINOPSIS En una gélida noche, tan funesta que el viento se vuelve mensajero de terribles presagios, Hamlet, Horacio y tres soldados se reúnen con el propósito de desentrañar el misterio en torno al espectro que ha aparecido en las últimas noches cerca del castillo. Solo hablará con Hamlet, pues esa criatura castigada a vagar por las tierras de Elsinor fue su padre, el último rey de Dinamarca. Su hermano Claudio le traicionó arrebatándole la vida, el trono y su reina. Un horrible crimen que reclama justicia. No sé cuánto puedo decir sobre Hamlet que no haya sido dicho ya, así que voy a contarles mi experiencia con esta obra. Sencillamente me encantó y quiero volver a leerla en algún momento, con más tranquilidad. Me tocó leer en medio de la locura de la facultad y siento que me debo haber perdido la mitad de las cosas. Aún así tuvo momentos sublimes...

Review: Evading Fate, A.M. Myers

Evading Fate by A.M. Myers My rating: 2 of 5 stars REAL RATING: 2.5 STARS TITLE: EVADING FATE SERIES: HIDDEN SCARS, BOOK #3 AUTHOR: A.M. MYERS GENRE: CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE This book is the third and final (?) installment of the Hidden Scars series and CAN'T BE READ AS AN STANDALONE unless you want to spoil yourself the plot of the previous books as happened to me. I'm having trouble to write this review because I thought I'd love this story but I didn't. The premise was good but the development didn't live up to it, at least not for me. BLURB Fate. I’ve been running from it most of my life – doing everything I can to avoid the future it had dictated for me. If I had learned one thing from the hell I went through as a child, it was that I never wanted to go back. Until I ran into someone who was running from her destiny just as hard as I was. And it just so happens that she’s one of my best friends. One night, emboldened by alcohol, she does something that has me...
