Double Dare - Rhonda Nelson

This book is simply amazing. It is funny, quirky, sweet and makes you literally laugh-out-loud!

Sam and Lou, she stood up her fiance at the altar and is running away, he owns an adventure/thrill seeking business and away they go. She is running away from an overbearing father and he is chasing his dreams, or so he thought. Together with their sizzling chemistry, they can't help falling in love. But like all headstrong people feeling something and assuming something, both go their separate ways after the adventure of their lives. Will they end up together? You will have to read to find out.

I rate this book a 8/10, only because it really made me laugh. It was unexpected and a little crazy but I felt like going on an adventure. Moreover I just love the cover of the book. They say "don't judge a book by its cover" but how could you not? You see everything at its face value. I admit that there are fantastic works inside dull covers, but you can't undermine the value of titles and covers. They play a major role. I didn't notice the cover at first, when I did, double dare it was. It's a good thing the book matches up to the cover, if not more.
So yeah, I love it and I am pretty sure you are going to too.

See ya next time

Pain

What nobody told us it never gets better it only gets older sometimes duller. It stays with you like that ache that you are used to one that doesn't hurt anymore just exists. One fine day you woke up not the same, an ache where there was none now a part of you follows you where you go grows as you grow older.

Man VS Pants

Here I am, sitting with my lappy, sipping on cold coffee and typing away. I would like to think I am just like anybody else but with all that goes around in my life, I have learnt to be prepared for the worst. Murphy's Law is basically me. Yesterday, I had an interview at a University. Like all hardworking students, I left everything for the last day. Scrambling to put my portfolio together, I paid no heed to my clothes. It's not like I had to put a lot of effort into my attire anyway. Interview requires formals and since I have just one pair of formal clothes, the indecision goes right out of the window. To give some context on why a working professional does not own a lot of formals is because my company (one of the kindergarden companies, also known as startups) does not require formals. Our dress code is casual. They are lucky I don't go to office in sweatpants. Now that would be casual! I own one pair of black pants, one shirt and one formal coat. Sorted? Not so ...

Book Review: Leah On The Offbeat

You know it is a good book when it ends up schooling you. I am too old to read high school drama anymore but seeing people rave about Simon vs The Homosapiens Agenda and Leah On The Offbeat, I finally gave LOTO a try. And boy am I glad. Initially sceptical, because the writing style is aimed at teenagers, the first few chapters were a bit difficult to get through. I found the language exceedingly plain, it was overall too kiddish. It was when the characters developed in the next few chapters, that I was hooked. I have yet to read such great character development in a high school book. Let's start off with Leah. She is your average protagonist - angry at the world, a broken family, overthinking things, overweight, smart, the only difference, she isn't lonely. She has a lot of friends. Oh and the fact that she is bi, secretly. As we delve further into the book, her layers peel off. She is in love with a girl who is dating her best friend who happens to...
