Say What You Will

4/5
Do you like books that include drama and even between relationships? Have you ever thought how life would be through someone’s else eyes? Well the book I have recently read ,that was young adult fiction, and  it was called Say What You Will by Cammie McGovern. It was about a girl, Amy, with a walking and speech disabilities who happens to be a genius. It also included a boy, Matthew, who had severe OCD who was the only one who ever spoke the truth to Amy. It’s their senior year and Amy want her fellow students to help her during the school day instead of aids to prepare for college. Through the last year we see drama and love blossom between the two, but which one will prevail. You have to read to find out this story and I recommend this to anyone who loves to love book characters and hate them too, because this story has both. The things that the two went through may it be Amy talking about how she wants to be normal or Matthew denying he has OCD and doesn’t want to get help, the story had so many interesting parts that are worth reading. You automatically notices things that make you love certain characters and hate others, you will end up looking at the book and thinking so much about what just happened.

Dragons Exist And We Can Beat Them


"Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - Neil Gaiman

This quote really sticks to me because the dragon can be anything, it could be horrible thoughts or a rough patch in someone's life.  Mainly it connect to me through the idea that they can be beaten recently my life has been more stressful and even a bit more sad, but I can over come all of the suffering. I have very few attachments that make me smile every single day and I recently lost one of them, it might be silly but it was my cat. He made me smile every single day if I needed a reason to be smiling and he couldn't judge me for thoughts if I had anything I wanted to speak out. It also connects with the fact tons of people have bad thoughts going on in their mind and they need to know that it is possible to beat certain thoughts. That's why this quote connects to me.
