“I don‘t think you ever really fall out of love with someone. I think when you fall in love, like true love, it‘s love for life. All the rest is experience and delusions”

“The heart always wins over the mind. The heart although reckless and suicidal and a masochist all on it own always gets its way”

“For anyone who has ever has a moment of weakness. It won‘t be painful forever, so don‘t let it get the best of you”

“Scared is what you‘re feeling. Brave is what you‘re doing”

Jodi picoult is always an easy gripping read for me, and this book was no different. I flew throught the pages during an 8 hour ferry crossing costing me all of my sleep 😂 but every character chapter makes you think of the situation from their side, every character is likeable and hateable in parts. Its heartbreaking, its something no-one would wish to go through and a book to read!

After reading the first two books in this series I was excited to get to this...i‘m npt exactly sure whats missing in this one for me but it was definately a slower read. Here‘s hoping the last in the series will puck back up again!

“Once you‘ve travelled to the dark side of the rainbow you‘ve reached the end of the line”

“Remember- don‘t be wicked, unless you really have to!”

Read in a day...couldnt put it down! If i‘m honest chevy stevens other book that night was better, but i love her writing style and pace of the story, its worth a read!

“Big brother is watching you”

“War is peace, freedom is slavely, ignorance is strength”. “We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness”. “Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood”. “A people that elect corrupt politicians are not victims...but accomplices”.

Cracking read, you‘ve got to love your childhood stories getting revamped and turned completely on their head so that you love them again as an adult. Absolutely cannot wait until i can get my hands on the wicked will rise!! “I hate to break it to you but just because someone has pretty hair and a good skin tone and a crown instead of a pointy hat doesn‘t mean she‘s not the baddest bitch this side of the emerald city”

“Only thing I can tell you, something I learned from those couple of years, is this. Age isn‘t like a fixed thing. You can tell yourself that you‘re seventeen or fifteen or whatever, and that might be true, according to your birth certificate. But birth-certificate truth is only a part of it. You slide around, in my experience.

“Don‘t you think it‘s better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than be just okay for your whole life?”. Beautiful, heartbreaking, easy read.

Gripping read, and suprisingly one book whose film doesn‘t feel like a total disappointment whilst you‘re reading. I read this while a reel of the film played in my head, absolutely brilliant! I almost always hate films once i read the book...this is the exceptiong to that rule! “This is your life and it‘s ending one minute at a time”

Can‘t put this book down...how do you live with yourself after being told to choose between you‘re twins as to which should live and which to die? Really tense read! “Just because you love someone doesn‘t mean you‘re supposed to be with them”

Perfect holiday read ... looking forward to watching the film!
