Rendition Concering Books Extraordinary Means
I read this book as a birthday gift to one of the best people on Goodreads- Masooma, who is celebrating her birthday today and who clearly loved this book. (Click her name for the most beautiful review on the book.) Let’s give her a happy birthday rap y’all! ♪ It’s your birthday, Awesome Masooma-ha! It’s time to celebre-he-ate Let’s wish her a happy birthde-hey,let’s wish her a happy birthde-hey! Clap our hands in the air! (2x) Stomp our feet on the ground! (2x) The wheels on the bus go round and round… I mean… Happy Birthday to you, Awesome Masooma-ha! (Hope this made you smile. Lol!^^) ♫ REVIEW This is a sad and painful story but one that didn’t make me feel that way because the honest and charming writing simply told a believable story and because the characters weren’t trying to romanticize anything-not sickness, not life nor death. They’re plainly accepting things for what they are. The plot isn’t much. If anything, it was a bit predictable but in a pleasant way, in a way that is true to life. But what made this story special is the most inspiring message it suggests which eased its way through my heart like a favorite lullaby. I didn’t have to wrestle so hard with interpreting symbols to find meaning because the story isn’t trying to be overdramatic or too intellectual. It’s simple and genuine, exactly how I like most things. Living and dying aren’t all that different. The story reminded me that. The former is simply looking at a glass half full while the latter is looking at it half empty. For some of us, it has to take a tragedy, a phenomenon, a strong force or some sort of EXTRAORDINARY MEANS to realize life started its countdown the moment we took our very first breath but somehow, mundane things, plans and thinking too much of the future make us forget to actually live the moment. I appreciate the story for reminding me these things. Life as we know it rarely goes as planned. Who really knows what happens tomorrow or just a few hours later? There is very little in life we can control except the time we have now and while we have this moment, the story enjoins us to make meaning out of it, make room for people who really matter, laugh more, seize the day or whatever you may want to call it, take a detour, do anything fun- anything that makes you happy, anything that isn’t always planned out. “But at the last minute, I turned left, because I never had before, and because I had time to go down a different road.” Don’t you just love books and Goodreaders?! *sighs appreciatively*Rating Epithetical Books Extraordinary Means

The Fault in Our AlaskasThe Fault in Our Stars meets The Perks of being a Wallflower....yet not as good as either of those titles.More in depth review on my BookTube channel - https://youtu.be/CEU-cRY8ddMDespite its title, there is nothing extraordinary about this book. However, it was quite an enjoyable read.Although it features MANY tropes, and it can get quite cheesy....I still liked it and I ALMOST cried at the end. Im not a book cryer so ALMOST making me cry is an accomplishment. Ill talk more about this soon on
Reminded me a little too much of a John green book. Wish the romance would have been a little more in depth. Criticisms aside,this book made me cry like a baby in the end so I obviously must have been more into than I thought.
Miracles were just second chances if you really thought about it--second chances when all hope was lost. ----Kaya McLaren, an American author Robyn Schneider, an American author, pens her new novel, Extraordinary Means that traces the story of two terminally ill teenagers, living in a part-hospital-part-boarding-school type of facility and how they fall in love despite of the incurable disease.Apart from two teenagers suffering from terminal illness and falling in love with each other, there

(Source: I received a digital copy of this book for free on a read-to-review basis. Thanks to HarperCollins and Edelweiss.) My first night at Latham house, I lay awake in my narrow, gabled room in cottage 6 wondering how many people had died in it. And I didnt just wonder this casually, either. I did the math. I figured the probability. And I came up with a number: eight. But then, I had always been terrible at math. This was quite a sad story about a group of kids with Total-Drug-Resistant
What an extraordinary story!^^This is a story of a 17 year old young male adult named LANE,who seems to have a perfect life with a great future ahead of him,with high grades,and with a girlfriend whose pretty and smart until he was diagnosed with an incurable Tuberculosis,and was sent to LATHAM HOUSE,a boarding school and sanatorium for this kind of disease.There in Latham,he was reunited with SADIE,the girl he knew from summer camp 4 yeas ago.A girl who is carefree and who leads a selective
