This book took me a lot longer than it usually would but I was listening to an Audiobook of another book at the same time, and I was more concentrated on it than on this book.

At the beginning, I thought this book was good but nothing amazing. As I got further on I enjoyed it even more! I really liked this book but it is still only getting 4 stars as it was not one of my favourite as I do tend to find Contemporary more boring and predictable than Fantasy, Dystopian or my other favourite genres.

Writing:
I really enjoy Morgan Matson's style of writing and the two book I have read from her there was that little bit extra. In this book, it was the scrapbook pages and music playlists and in The unexpected Everything, it was pieces of another story written by a character. I love that added little piece that makes the story come alive.

Plot:
The plot was fun and at the same time upsetting at times. I'm not going to say any more than what the Goodreads Synopsis says. So, with the loss of her father and the constant reminders of him, Amy is fighting a battle with herself and seeing her go through this, you just have to feel for her. Roger also has dramas of his own, but together they make it across the country and the story finishes on a good note, which is good as the book is a stand alone, so the book ended nicely.

Characters:
I really enjoyed both Roger and Amy's characters. They were both interesting and also relatable at times.
Amy was well written and felt so real, she was relatable and she was a character that you got happy for as she pushed through her struggles.
Roger was a character you felt for as he seemed so innocent and you could relate and understand what he was going through with his ex.

Overall:
It was a really enjoyable read and not as light as most of the Contemporary books I have read, have been. This was nice to have something a little bit different as I am still only new to getting into the contemporary genre!

This isn't going to be a huge review as I don't actually have that many feelings towards this book.
Overall, it was okay, I didn't hate it and I didn't love it.

I'm going to say first that I'm not exactly the most emotional person and I read books for the adventure and excitement. So I don't usually read books that are meant to be sad. So, I knew from the start that this book wouldn't make me cry or be heartbreaking to me. Just think of me as a rock when it comes to the sad emotion in books.

Spoiler free!

Writing:
The writing was well done and it meant that you kept reading and didn't want to put the book down. The description of different things within the book was very well done and it was very easy to picture places, people, and objects that are mentioned in the book. I also liked that there was a couple chapters within the book that it swapped to other characters point of view.

Plot:
To me the plot was okay, it was kind of predictable. (I'm going to try and say this as best I can with spoiling it). Becuase I was told that the end of the book was sad and would break your heart, etc then I knew that something bad would happen in the end and then when you find out something, in about the middle of the book, then it was obvious to me what the sad ending was going to be.
I want a book that keeps me guessing, not one that I can predict the ending to before the half way point.
Also, I know this book could be really eye-opening to some people in regards to the struggles of a wheelchair-bound person, but for me, it wasn't as I have personal experience. My former best friend is in a wheelchair, it's not to the extent of Will but I understood the struggles of things like trying to find car parks, having people staring, dealing with grass and things like that. So to me, it was kinda eh when it came to these parts of the books, but if you had no experience with someone in a wheelchair I can see that this book could be eye-opening and interesting.

Characters:
I did really like Louisa, I can't say I agree with some of the things that she did in the book, but I did like her never give up attitude that she held for most of the book. I liked Will's witty remarks and sarcasm, it was fun trying to figure out what he would come up with next. Camilla was an interesting character and you will find out why if you read the book, her struggles within herself and just trying to hold herself and her family together was a constant struggle for her. I also don't agree with some of the things she did in the book either. Steven Traynor was someone who you feel like you should kind of hate because of his actions that you find out about towards the end of the book, but when one of the chapters swaps to his point of view, you understand and appreciate what he is sacrificing himself for his son. I also really like all of Louisa's family, they were fun and interesting characters and they felt like a real family, loving and caring. Patrick I kind of want to punch at times and it makes me sad that for the movie Matthew Lewis was cast as his character, being a diehard Harry Potter fan, I feel bad to want to punch Matt's character haha.

Overall:
It was an okay book and if you enjoy sad books then, by all means, go ahead you'll probably love it, but if you're like me then it's probably not the best book for you!

I'm giving this book 3.5 Stars, but you can't put 1/2 stars on Goodreads. So I'm putting it here instead!

This review will be spoiler free!

Overall I enjoyed this book. It didn't amaze me like I thought it would but I think that because I have seen so many fabulous reviews and I had high expectations because of that. Don't get me wrong it was a beautiful story but it wasn't my favourite.

Writing:
I did really like the writing style! It was a very smooth and quick read for me. I loved that the chapters were so short but it still got a lot of information across in those short paragraphs. I don't quite understand what the point of the mini stories and why it couldn't be just one story and have one chapter count rather than restarting it 3 times. I didn't understand that, but not a big deal.

Plot:
I enjoyed the plot too. The coming of age, trying to find yourself story was interesting and I liked that it was a male protagonist rather than female as I feel that I don't read many books with a male as the main. So that was interesting. The plot had a few twists and turns and I really enjoyed that as it added a bit of action to the book, which is what I like in any book. I also liked how the book ended, it showed a journey that I usually wouldn't think about as I'm not in that situation, nor do I know anyone who was. So it was defiantly a bit of an eye-opener for some of the things that were discussed.


Characters:
I really enjoyed the characters. I liked that Aristotle and Dante were nearly opposites. The contrast was really nice to see. I also really liked the parents of both Aristotle and Dante. They were fun, interesting and loving characters. I also liked the back stories and that both Aristotle Mum and Dad were fighting their own internal wars.


Overall:
I did enjoy the story but it wasn't as amazing as I was expecting. It was a beautiful book, though!

This book had been sitting on my TBR list for a while and for the BookTube-A-Thon I finally picked it up!

I don't know why I left it so long this book is amazing.

This book is written from the point of view of Meghan Chase. I love the writing style in this book. There is a lot of information to take in, within the world of this book and Kagawa made it so that you weren't bombarded with information but it was gradually added chapter by chapter. I defiantly don't know everything yet as I need to get my hands on the other books in the series, but so far I have a good foundation to work on.

This book is full of adventure, action, romance and forever having to change plans at the last second. It's thrilling and makes for an easy read. I did read this book as part of the BookTube-A-Thon but even if I hadn't I think I could have read this in 2 days easily. It's such a fast-paced read and you don't want to put it down!

The thing I liked about this book is that there was always something going on. The characters were constantly jumping from one event to another. But it wasn't too much like in some books. You didn't feel overwhelmed by everything that is going on and that it was just one bad thing after another and it starts to get that beyond unrealistic feel (even for a fantasy novel)

The Romance in this book has kind of a love triangle feel about it, still unsure what's actually going on here. However, I'm guessing in the second book it will elaborate on things a bit better. I still don't quite understand what Puck (Robin Goodfellow) feels towards Meghan and Ash (a prince of the Winter Court) is torn between what he feels and his loyalty. Hopefully, it will become clearer in the rest of the series

Within the story, Machinery and Technology are destroying natural Beauty, in this case, of Faery Land. I love this underlying meaning as this is beyond true in the real world as well, just in a different way.

Defiantly recommend this book!

THIS REVIEW WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS!!!

This review is my opinion and how I felt about the characters and how the plot was portrayed. If you don't agree, don't jump down my throat!

My expectations were low, to begin with for this book, as it is a screenplay I knew it wasn't going to be the amazing, magical and engaging story that the original series was. I was disappointed, even with starting with a fairly low expectation!

Characters:
First, I want to talk about the thing that annoyed me the most. The Characters of Harry, Hermione, and Ron. I know that they are 20 years older, but there is no trace of who the character's used to be!

Harry is no longer the kind, caring and loving person that he was in the original series. Some of the things that he says and does, especially when it comes to Albus, are not like him at all! The part that annoyed me the most is right at the start where the crossover is with the epilogue from The Deathly Hallows and the start of the Cursed Child. They have removed one of the most important lines in that scene!
"-then Slytherin house will have gained an excellent student, won't it? It doesn't matter to us, Al..."
I feel like this line just shows how much Harry loves Albus, whereas in the play, without this line, this scene is very bland and shows no emotion. I feel it shows, almost as if Harry is pushing Albus to tell the sorting hat that he wants to be in Gryffindor, just like Harry did in his first year.

In the play, Hermione is no longer the girl who thinks everything over 5 times in her head before doing things. For example, in the play, she hid the Time Turner in a bookcase with a few riddles guarding it. Albus and Scorpius quite easily and quickly get through the riddles, while also trying not to get sucked into a bookcase. If two young boys can figure it out, then I'm sure adults would have no trouble. If this was the Hermione from the original series, because she is so cautious and thinks everything through before acting, she would have hidden it a lot better! Also, why does she end up being Minister for Magic when this was a quote from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:
“Are you planning to follow a career in Magical Law, Miss Granger?” asked Scrimgeour.
“No, I’m not,” retorted Hermione. “I’m hoping to do some good in the world!”
So many things just don't add up with this play!

Next, Ron. Sorry, are you sure this is Ronald Weasley and not some imposter pretending to be him?! Nearly every scene he was in, I feel he was just added there to break away from the continuous darkness that was going on for the other characters. He was constantly trying to be funny, however, he wasn't. This made me think that in the play they portrayed him as a try hard version of Fred and George rather than the goofy, funny, yet sensitive guy that we have known for 7 books!
Another thing I want to ask is why is Ron running Weasley Wizard Wheezes and not George? This really confused me!

I did enjoy Draco's character in the play. He wasn't much like how he was in the original series but I think that's a good thing. I felt like in the end of Deathly Hallows Draco was trying a bit harder to be good and kind. I also felt like there was always, kind of, a good side to Draco but he was always trying to impress his father and live up to the expectations that his Father had of him, which is why he did most of the things he did. I always liked to think that after they finished school Draco would find someone and get away from his father and show the good side of himself rather than the evil side. So, I'm glad that, that happened in the play. I also felt like in the play I could connect and feel for Draco more than I could in the original series. I always felt sorry for Draco and felt that if he had grown up with a different father he would have been a lot happier. In the play, we find out more about him and learn his story, especially when it comes to his late wife, Astoria.

I think that Albus is an extremely flat character. I believe this is because it is a play. A play is not meant to be read, so reading purely what the characters were saying doesn't allow for character development and he did not come to life for me. This also meant that I couldn't connect with him.

I really enjoyed Scorpius. He was the one new character that I felt like had a bit more development. He was cautious and kind and he cared about Albus. Even when it was against his better judgment he also went along with Albus.

Rose Granger-Weasley was a character we saw very little of. But when we did I didn't like her and I didn't feel like she was Hermione and Ron's daughter. Even when Albus found that Scorpius was a good guy and was nothing like what all the rumors were saying she didn't even try to get to know him, she just judged him the whole time, even after Draco and Harry become kinda friends. I feel like she was nothing like Ron or Hermione who I know would have still been cautious around Scorpius at the start, but would have trusted their friend's judgment and gave him a chance.
I also wish that we saw Hugo in the play at some point and more of James and Lily.

Plot:
At the start I enjoyed the plot except where it skipped 2 or 3 years at once, that was a tad confusing and at first, I thought it must have been a dream Albus was having or something. The should have just left the original Epilogue how it was in the Deathly Hallows and started in their 3rd year (i think that's where it skipped to).

When we first meet Scorpius we find out nearly straight away that there is a rumor that Scorpius is actually Voldemorts child. when I read it, I literally laughed, for one thing, it is beyond ridiculous and secondly Voldemort was dead long before Scorpius was born, so how do people figure that out!?
Next, the fact that Albus wanted to go back in time to save Cedric Diggory. First of all, this was beyond stupid and I honestly wanted to put the book down as soon as Albus and Scorpius escaped the train. When I was reading it I was thinking that this is something that a 10-year-old would say but obviously wouldn't actually do it. Yet off they went and had a go and the whole time I was shaking my head. I also felt like this was them telling prisoner of Azkaban over again. In that book, Harry and Hermione went back and saved Sirius and Buckbeak and in this, they went back attempting to save Cedric. I just felt like they were repeating themselves. This has already been done before, not just in another author's book but in the same damn series! This was a very poor part of the plot.

Also, Voldemort has a daughter?! You expect me to believe this crap?! Voldemort was barely human, let alone human enough to have the desire to have sex or to have a child? Especially with a death eater that in the original series he didn't really like, she was just a very loyal slave, basically. So that was ridiculous, to begin with. Next, it said that Bellatrix had the child just before the battle of Hogwarts, so why didn't we see Bellatrix pregnant when we only saw her a couple months before the battle of Hogwarts at Malfoy Manor and why wasn't she with her child instead of at the Battle of Hogwarts. Also who was looking after the child between when Bellatrix and Voldemort were killed and when the child was old enough to go out on its own.

It also really annoyed me that they had to screw with the original story. There were small things, like the commentary made by Ludo Bagman at the Triwizard Tournament. The least they could have done was kept was was said the same as the original stories. There was also bigger things like the fact that Bellatrix was not pregnant at all in the Deathly Hallows!

At times I also felt like Albus and Scorpius were going to turn out more than just friends and it kept building within the play, but instead at the end, Scorpius asks out Rose, which she declined. I know there was a little bit at the beginning somewhere that felt like Scorpius has a crush on Rose, but then it gets overshadowed by what you think is building between Albus and Scorpius. I know I'm not the only person who sensed this relationship as I have heard and read a few reviews that have said the same thing, so it's not just me.

Another thing that really annoyed me is Hermione in the alternate universe that was created when Albus and Scorpius messed with time. I didn't add this in the character section as I know this isn't the real Hermione, this is an alternate Hermione. Firstly, you can't make me believe that Ron and Hermione didn't end up together just because Ron never got jealous when Hermione went with Viktor to the Yule Ball. That romance has been brewing from the first book and one simple thing like Ron not being jealous would not have altered that opinion! Next, besides the fact that Ron was jealous, Ron also hated what he had to wear to the Yule Ball and was not the type to dance, so I don't know what would have made him dance with Padma Patil in the alternate version? I can understand him dancing with Hermione in it as he so obviously has had a thing for her since the start, but not anyone else. That just doesn't add up for me.

Also in that alternate universe why is Hermione so grumpy and why is she a teacher and not out doing whatever she wants?! Whether she was with Ron or not, she was a strong, powerful and intelligent woman and I do not believe for a second that just because Ron marries someone else that Hermione throws her life down the drain, she could have gone into any job she wanted. Purely because of how intelligent she is.

Overall I didn't enjoy the book. It was probably an amazing play and I wished they could have released a recorded version of the play so the rest of us could see it. I feel like it was extremely unfair that it was limited to London. What about the rest of the world?!
As a script alone it's just nowhere near what you have come to expect from a J.K. Rowling work. That kills me to say, as I adore her and her work.
