Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m really late in sharing but here‘s my #bookspin #doublespin picks for February.

My prompts were Pet Pick and Final Book.

This one really fell flat for me.

The plot was a cut and past of the previous books in the series with only a slight variation in the exact location of where things went down. The characters have had no growth throughout the series and it‘s made extremely clear in this one. I wouldn‘t continue and read the last book in this series but as I own it and Specials was supposed to be the last in the series I do plan to read on and see what Extras adds.

A good dive back into this series. It‘s interesting how much of this is still relevant.
I think Netflix did a pretty good job overall of bringing this to screen.

The story wasn‘t bad but I had no motivation to read. It was a struggle. I think after being disappointed by Specials, this world did not have my attention anymore. Glad it is over 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Spoiler here…. I am disappointed with what they did with Zane 😔. I really liked him. He was my favorite character and I loved his relationship with Tally. I‘m in denial. This one was harder to get through than the first two. The story progressed too slowly to then come to disappointing ends. However, I liked how Tally always cures herself, it shows that is always within you to become a better person. You don‘t need outside sources.

Ignoring some pretty annoying choice of words 😂, this is a great story. This book is about being human, and the literal beauty and downsides of it. It is about seeing beauty in imperfections. It is about friendship, relationships, morality, and natural but questionable human emotions such as jealousy or fear. I am amazed how the author captures so much while giving a plot that keeps you engaged. One of the best YA reads.

I picked this book after loving the movie and wanting to know what would happen next. Already knowing the story of the first book took some enjoyment away but it was nice learning the original details that were not shown or were slightly changed in the film. The writing can be childish but I recognize this is a YA book, target audience 10-16 yo. I'm looking forward to reading the next books and finally knowing how the story continues.

I tried really hard not to bail. I read just over 100 pages, and I can‘t do it. The writing is very childish, which makes the shallow subject matter (I understand that it is intentionally shallow) that much more intolerable. I‘ll just watch the movie😂.

I just started reading this one since I want to watch it. 😃🙌 SO EXCITED! And so happy it doesn‘t have the darn Netflix sticker or a movie tie-in cover! 😮‍💨🙌💃

Finishing my reread so I can watch the Netflix movie. Wild to think I first read this when it came out at Tally‘s age.
