Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

i found out that every time i want to review a book, the first sentence that i write is "this book was different", at first i thought that it became a habit, but no, the truth is that every book is different on it's own way, Eleanor & Park was another sort of different, i love the imperfection of the characters, the fact that they don't belong together but found a way to be with each other, this true innocent love is what we need and they do remind me of it, it was really a great thing reading this book especially with the two point of view, we knew what both of them think in the same time, that was exciting.
i also loved the fact that the story is held in the 80's it makes the events very simple and nostalgic, it makes me think of this time when there was no cell phones or computers when you should meet with the person to have a descent conversation, that makes the relationships more solid and warm.
this book was heart warming and makes me smile a lot, i hope to find more books as this one, it'll be really great.

Song of the Fireflies by J.A. Redmerski
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was unique;
I believe that Elias and Bray were both screwed everyone in his own way, Brayel and her bipolar disorder was not different from Elias even if he wasn't diagnosed, but i think his illness was Bray herself or the way he loved her, i can't say that i didn't loved that book but only not that much, it's a story of screwed love and i'm not into that kind of stories;
what i loved so much instead was Bray and Elias's childhood, those two reckless kids who grew up together loving each other and making trouble together were great to mee, also, the cross-over between this story and Camryn & Andrew's was fantastic, i've never seen somthing like this i mean yeah between shows, series or movies, but in books it's a first and i was like "are you kidding me aren't these two Camryn & Andrew" before they even bring up their names.
In conclusion this book was worth every second i spent reading it, and J.A Redmerski is an amazing talented and creative writer even if her heroins are somehow all screwed but still she's capable of bringing out the best of each one of her characters and her stories always teach us something espicialy to keep dreaming, have faith and be hopeful.
