New Girl Review

I'm obsessed with this show! It's so hilarious. I find myself quoting it all the time. At first, I was a little taken aback  by how quirky the main character Jess is, but she grows on you and you fall in love with her. She's hilarious and just wants to help everyone.

So the show starts with Jess needing a place to live after her boyfriend cheated on her. She goes on Craigslist and finds an add for a roommate. She assumes her roommates will be women, but when she arrives she finds 3 guys waiting for her. This is where we meet Nick, Schmidt, and Coach. They are great. Jess is a very quirky teacher and it takes some time for the guys to adjust. Schmidt does most of his adjusting when Jess' best friend CeCe, who happens to be a gorgeous model, comes to visit. Schmidt is instantly obsessed with her. Coach is replaced in the following episode by Nick and Schmidt's old friend Winston who has come back from playing pro basketball in Latvia.

This group is insane and this show is freaking hilarious. I love it.

The main cast includes:

• Zooey Deschanel as Jessica "Jess" Day
• Jake Johnson as Nick Miller
• Max Greenfield as Schmidt
• Lamorne Morris as Winston Bishop
• Hannah Simone as Cecilla "CeCe" Parekh
• Damon Wayans, Jr. as Ernie "Coach" Tagliaboo

Also, watch out for their BA drinking game called True American. It is so confusing and so funny that even though you barely know any of the crazy rules, you want to grab your closest friends and attempt a game.

I 100% give this show 5 stars...WATCH IT!!!!!!

Book Review - "Autumn's Kiss" by Bella Thorne

I don't even know what to say about this book. I'm so disappointed in it.

***SPOILERS AHEAD***


Ok so it starts off and everyone is suddenly friends and everything has been swept under the rug. I guess that's nice, but there is no resolution from the previous book for the reader. It ends and everyone Renzie is mad at Autumn and Sean is mad at both of them, but now they're all best friends. It's just ridiculous. I'm sorry, but that's not how high school works. It'd be great if it did, but it's not.

Now Autumn has a map that can take her wherever she wants to go. That's cool. It's random, but you get used to it. Autumn finally meets Kyler Leeds and he ends up being a weird character...he's part douche bag but also part sweet guy.

Sean and Autumn finally go out, and it's nice until he cheats on her with Renzie. How does Autumn know this? She appears in his closet on their vacation and witnesses them hooking up. Of course she's devastated, and JJ is there to pick up the pieces. They start going out before Sean even gets back and when he does come back he is pissed at Autumn for breaking up with him via text message and blocking him. Autumn ends up feeling guilty for it and doesn't really feel the same about JJ as he feels about her. What. the. F. I don't think so. She's made to feel bad for breaking up with her boyfriend for cheating on her? Hell no! He says that he felt so guilty that he threw up the next morning and the only reason it happened was because they had been drinking. I'm sorry, but that's crap. He and Renzie end up dating later on. I think Autumn had every right to break up with him. He never would have told her what happened if she hadn't of found out. He really didn't care about her.

With that being said, Autumn is a bitch for jumping into a relationship with JJ so quickly and leading him on. How terrible. He has been nothing but good to her and that is how she is going to repay him? I just can't believe the author made Autumn become such an all over the place character. I also can't believe how guilty she makes Autumn feel about Sean. I think that makes me angrier than any of it. She has no reason to feel guilty. It's ridiculous.

This whole disaster ends with a party at Autumn's where everyone shows up except JJ. The only reason they show up is because Kyler Leeds sends each of her friends a personalized video inviting them there. Sean and Renzie are there as a couple which is a douche move. I thought they were all friends? That doesn't seem very friendly to me. Then Autumn sneaks away and decides to poof off to where Kyler Leeds is. The f?

I just don't even know. The first book was so cute....and this one started off ok I guess, but it ended horribly. I think I'm done with Autumn Falls and her friends.

This show is crazy and so addicting! The cast brings these incredible characters to life in a thrilling way. Kat is meant to play the role of Clary Fray- she's spectacular. Dom kills it as Jace Wayland and Matt brings Alec Lightwood to life flawlessly. Em is so fearless, sexy, and badass as Izzy it's unbelievable and Alberto makes you desperately wish Simon Lewis was your best friend.

The creators of the show clearly worked very hard to bring this world to life on the small screen and it doesn't go unnoticed. The episodes get more and more thrilling as the season goes on and I cannot wait for season 2! Thank you to Freeform for bringing this awesome series to life. 

I highly recommend watching it!! I give it 5 stars.

Book Review - "The Siren" by Kiera Cass

I'm not really sure where to start with this book. The premise is very interesting and unusual. It took me a little while to adjust to it, but once I did I liked it. I liked the bond between the Sirens, I thought it was realistic and yet something that everyone wants. I guess I liked everything but the end. I like HOW it ended (for the most part), but I don't like the WAY it ended. That still makes no sense, but I can't explain without spoilers.

This book is about a Siren named Kahlen. She was saved by the Ocean (who is basically a spirit) when she was drowning after hearing the Siren song. She agreed to spend the next century as a Siren and lure humans to the depths of the Ocean with their song. The Ocean became like a mother figure for her since she lost hers. The girls live on land in together in cities but are forbidden to speak. If they do, whatever human hears their voice will go straight to the Ocean and kill themselves. Kahlen has always been very careful not to speak or bond with anyone that isn't her Siren sisters. She's the oldest one living in the house with the others in Florida. She's unlike her sisters in the fact that she feels immense guilt after each Song and she actually keeps scrapbooks of each shipwreck because of her guilt.

Kahlen meets a boy named Akinli at the library and he is unlike anyone she has ever met. He realizes she can't speak, and he's ok with that. He still talks to her and even gets her a pen/notepad to write with. Kahlen is taken aback by his kindness and she starts to fall for him. They have a date and afterwards, Kahlen freaks out and is afraid of falling in love with him so she forces the girls to move to another state. This basically begins a long journey of Kahlen being depressed and the others being annoyed/worried with her. Once the Ocean realizes what is happening, it/she becomes furious with Kahlen. Kahlen runs away and runs into Akinli who offers her a place to stay with him and his cousins.

Things look great for a little while, until Kahlen makes a major mistake and bargains with the Ocean who adds even more time to her "sentence." Kahlen is devastated about it and her sisters try to help her. Then Kahlen begins to get sick and no one can explain why. She is a Siren and supposed to be inhuman so she should never get sick or need sleep. The girls work over time to find out how they can save Kahlen and what Akinli has to do with it.


***SPOILERS*** IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK THEN SCROLL PAST THIS PART!!!

So basically the fact that Akinli heard her voice and without hearing his voice anymore they're both dying. Like seriously?! He's dying without her voice and she's dying without his. The only solution was to turn her back into a human which was really sad because the girls lost their sister. Akinli's family finds her and once he sees her he starts feeling better which is all fine and dandy, except she doesn't remember him. It's sweet that she feels like she loves him without remembering, but the fact that she doesn't remember anything of what they went through makes me feel cheated. Honestly, this whole ending makes me feel cheated and like I wasted my time. I wanted Akinli and Kahlen together, but I also wanted her to be able to remember her Siren life. I realize that was probably too much to ask of Kiera Cass, but still...I feel like the ending was lame and uncreative. I was expecting more.

***NO MORE SPOILERS***








Overall, I like the idea but I am disappointed with the ending...I was expecting more and wanted a little more razzle dazzle.

I give this book 3 stars.
