Book Review ! Beautiful by Amy Reed

Cassie’s life was a movie.  She was the new kid, weak and venerable.  She wanted a change, to forget who she was, and change everything about herself.  From books and fake friends to drugs, sex and alcohol.  Her life seemed so easy, she has a loyal best friend, the most popular kid in school is her boyfriend, she gets high, drunk, and now she’s classified beautiful.  That’s all she’s wanted, a true best friend, popular boyfriend and to be beautiful.  She makes one bad decision and the world turns on her, she has no one she can trust.  No amount of pot, acid or alcohol can save her now.  Continue reading Cassie’s story of a life time, and learn what happens when you go from being nothing to being something and how bad it can be.  Amy Reed did a  phenomenal job writing this novel.  It was very easy to be sucked into it.

Hey Hey

Hello !!  My name is Tyanna.  My name is pronounced like Tee-ana.  I read a lot, and I post book reviews on one of my other blogs that I am soon deleting because the website is continuously crashing.  Basically, I read the book, then summarize the whole book in a paragraph, give my opinion on it and I'll pick my favourite character then talk about them for a bit.  Then I'll rate it.  Comment on the story, tell you how many pages, tell you my favourite character, and my favourite quote from the book. I'm thinking I might start doing an advise thing too, where you can send me what's going on with you.  And I'll give you tips, or ways to tackle your situation. I sometimes do rants too.  When I'm annoyed with the way something is going, or I'm really happy about something I'll rant about it.  It's just one of the many perks of being Tyanna. You can basically find me anywhere.  I'm on multiple social medias.  I may start vlogging ...
