5/24/2023 0 Comments Luna rexrothWhen Luna decides to attend college all the way across the country (at Vaughn’s insistence) the tenuous threads of their lifelong friendship start to fray before snapping all together when she breaks their unspoken promise. He’s always been able to count on Luna who he has always believed is his endgame. On the other end is Knight, who, in addition to dealing with the complex identity issues that often stem from being adopted, is also dealing with his mother’s worsening health and further turns to booze and drugs to cope. Luna communicates through looks as much as sign language and it was nice to see her friends learn sign language to communicate with her rather than pressing her to talk. Luna is raised by her father and stepmother and is selectively mute after her mother abandoned her as a toddler. Much like in Pretty Reckless the family dynamics are complex and the books really explore the effect that has on kids especially teenagers. While Knight and Luna weren’t overly present in Daria and Penn’s book they were mentioned enough by Daria that it was clear they would make for a good story. After I finished Pretty Reckless in record time and enjoyed it so thoroughly I knew I wanted to read whatever related books L.J.

As outsized as always, Harrelson played it perfectly over the top, leaving you wanting more. It is Woody Harrelson’s gay and inappropriate sports editor, however, who steals every scene he is in. Oscar-nominees Patricia Clarkson (“Pieces of April”) and Richard Jenkins (“The Visitor”) lend much-needed gravitas.Ĭlarkson, who Gluck cast as Stone’s mother in “Easy A,” again plays the parent. There’s a flash mob in Times Square, the sex-buddy pact made on an iPad Bible app, and a moment where Dylan makes plane reservations using his mobile phone that feels a lot like a Sprint ad. Gluck’s also adept at slipping in so many pop culture references that you don’t know if he’s trying to make the film feel very immediate or he’s again making fun (probably the latter). 5/24/2023 0 Comments X men vol 1 hickmanIn the wake of the Earth-shattering events of X OF SWORDS, the Captain Commander of Krakoa makes a fateful decision that will affect all the island-nation's residents!Īnd when the Shi'ar Empire asks the X-Men for help, Cyclops, Storm and Marvel Girl answer the call!

I also think I rated this novel waaaaay too high, and this review is definitely sugarcoated this novel deserves three and a half stars at least. This is from my old blog, and I’m rereading it and all I’m thinking is that the Michelle who wrote this review had no idea the type of disappointment (and anger) she was going to face after reading The Crown. So I wanted to post this review before I posted the one of The Crown. and proving that finding her own happily ever after isn’t as impossible as she’s always thought.
