23 days agopudgyjeon's book review was featured in Ignite Me (Shatter Me).
From the ashes, she is rising. In Juliette there's kindling made of strength from training, there's oxygen from an air of willingness to fight, and finally a spark of suppressed power ready to be unleashed and ignite a fire that burns the Re-establishment down. I enjoyed this book much more than the first one, as Juliette undergoes major character development that makes her ten times more like-able. She goes from weak and cowering, to fierce and courageous. And as the plot progresses with her, it really engages the reader and calls focus to all the tiny details in the story. But I won't spoil anything ;). And as any good dystopian book has one, the slow-burn love interest Warner and Juliette's relationship is so delicately written it's almost a work of art. It seems that Tahereh Mafi's writing has improved so much from book one to book two, and is definitely recommended for anybody searching for a new YA read. Where there's smoke, there's fire, where there's fire, there's uproar and commotion, and where uproar and commotion in a subdued dystopian neighborhood, there's Juliette, Warner, and their team.

Ok, so, to clarify, the book is really more of a 3.5 than three. The reason being, the book has so much hype built around it, receiving accolades like "best dystopian read" on platforms like booktok. And as a lover of a good book, I couldn't wait to buy and read it. And while the reader really does feel like they are in Juliette's chaotic mind, at points it also seems it's trying too hard to be deep. Which may just sound like picky-ness, but after 338 pages, it can feel like trying to put a square peg in a round hole. However, the plot is fast-paced, and keeps the fire alive without letting it fizzle out, and the dystopian world creates a sense of danger that is hard to replicate. On the other hand, the main character, Juliette, is slightly selfish, which is another reason why the book wasn't all it was made up to be. But, overall, Tahereh Mafi did a commendable job emulating a world of grays where all hope seems to be lost, but here, we have Juliette. Ready to set this dark world ablaze with her game-changing ability.

About 2 months agopudgyjeon's movie review was featured in 50 First Dates.
Let's say you meet the love of our life. Nice! You bond over waffles and a beautiful island. He's charming and funny, she's pretty and matches his energy. But the next day, it's like nothing happened. She's back at the same breakfast place, wearing the same shirt, as if yesterday was today. Lucy has a memory problem, and thinks that everyday is the same. Henry, a notorious player, sees this as a challenge, and works hard to claim his prize. Fifty first dates, fifty first loves, fifty first kisses. It is such a funny and romantic plot that gives you hope for love again. This movie keeps your mouth laughing, your heart singing, and your inner romantic satisfied.

Lol, don't worry, I'm way past fourth grade, and it's not that bad. It seems scary at first, but definitely you'll look back and be like hey, that's not that bad.
