This was a nice, interesting story. Very different from anything I have ever read. I did have a problem with Clay's dialogue when he says he "wonders" & the conversation still going, I didn't know that he was still talking. I was amazed towards the end of this book, I liked the way it ended. More to come!

This made me think of the characters in the movie, 13 going on 30. I enjoyed it, but needed some suspense. For me, it was okay. The illustrations kept me reading, but some chapters had me forgetting about the object. In short, I just needed some major plot twist or happy ending. I will say, it was fun to read.

This is my first audiobook review. I have learned to enjoy audiobooks shortly after listening to this one! I was on my way to a week long trip which was roughly 2hrs away. This was short and so I chose it - also, I saw it reviewed on my Goodreads feed.

One Direction are our narrators which is amazing! I was able to hear the emotion in their voices as they talked about each topic or experience they've had. Whereas, in a book you don't see that. You're reading the emotion for yourself.

I was able to learn more about the boys individually like their outlook on leaving home at just sixteen or seventeen years old or simply their lives before X-Factor. I learned things I didn't know before, and I know a lot about One Direction.

I couldn't imagine leaving my house at about sixteen and never going back. That's what happened for them, the last time they left their homes was to go to their X-Factor audition and they never returned after. That was so scary to think about.

What stuck out to me the most was each boy's POV on visiting Ghana to shoot the One Way or Another Music Video. They all had different views that touched my heart. Especially Harry and Niall. Niall talked about how we take water for granted. He was sitting around drinking water from his bottle and a swarm of kids stood around him, so he squirted it into each child's mouth. He said it's something we don't think about, you can go home and have a refrigerator full of water and they don't even have a drop. Harry also had an open mind about being there. He expressed his opinion on how we shouldn't dwell on little things that happen when something bigger is happening out in the world.

They also talk about what they think of being called a "celebrity". Most of them said they don't see themselves as celebrities. They feel like celebrities act different and order. They aren't like that.

I enjoyed every minute of this biography. I learned so much and it really made me think. This is definitely a great read or listen, if you're a fan or not. If you like hearing different POV's or 5, this may be the one for you! I rated this full five stars because I couldn't pick out any flaws :)

Alyssa Brugman is an Australian author, therefore this book is written with ‘Aussie’ slang. I am not fully educated on the subject of intergender, thus my view on the book is different. I was very confused throughout about half of this book. Alex has been a boy her whole life, a procedure took place when Alex was first born – she was born with both a “noodle” (as the book calls it) and ovaries. All Alex’s life, she knew there was something different about her. She felt uncomfortable being a boy. Therefore, Alex decides to change everything. Starting with her appearance, Alex starts wearing too much make-up, glittery skirts, and hair extensions. Soon after, she enrolls herself in a new, coed school. Alex attended Joey’s – an all boy school. But, after an incident Alex decides she will never go back there. Enrolling herself in a new school was a big step for Alex which resulted in drama. These changes took a huge toll on Alex’s parents. Alex’s father left for a little while and Alex’s mother went insane. Alex’s mother was a large role in this book. She wrote entries on a motherhood website about her situation. This is where the confusion came into play, for me anyway. Alex’s mother is very unaccepting. One minute she is writing about how happy she is, then how Alex shouldn’t have a say in any of this or it’s just a phase. I wasn’t sure of what page she was on with accepting the circumstance. I was very confused. This is shown to be set as Realistic Fiction but I felt that the realism wasn’t there. The bullying felt unrealistic, many of the times Alex was bullied it was at random or just unnecessary. Brugman wrote Alex very stereotypical from her appearance and her extracurriculars. She is very confused and scared though, because she is afraid of what others will think if they find out about her secret. What I did enjoy about this book was the way Brugman split up Alex as bigender. Alex is told as two individuals but they both control Alex’s mind. Alex as a boy brings humor to this book when he steps in to play. His actions are very boyish or childish. I really enjoyed this concept. I did rate this book low because I felt lost when reading or feel the realism in characters. The family was scattered and their views were confusing. In my opinion, if the story had a little more depth it would’ve been very good.

Fantastic.

This was a very humorous, quick read! I was laughing very few pages. This would make a terrific movie.
I rated this 3.5 because I felt there could have been more to it.

I love how the solar system related to their romance. Will review soon!

I'm rating this a 4.5/5 stars.
I really enjoyed this trilogy, a whole lot. It is very rare that I read a Dystopian let alone a Dystopian trilogy.

Maxon is the most developed and genuine character I've ever read.

America did annoy me a whole lot with her drama but in this book I really got to see how brave and ambitious she was. She is a real fighter and despite all the rules she had to follow, she always knew she had to do the right thing.

just my thoughts for now, more to come.

Nothing bad to say about this! But IT'S ADDICTING.
