   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  bookishconfesh | Sep 22, 2022 |   Love me some Noah Noah's story is coming out in Presently Perfect Sneak peak... Chapter 1 It’s was only noon but the temperature had already skyrocketed to heights almost unbearable to any living thing. The sun blazed down and I swear I heard my skin sizzle. I was sitting at the end of our pool, submerged in waist-deep water, trying to fight off the dog days of summer. I cupped my hands and plunged them into the cool water. Tilting my head back, I closed my eyes, raised my hands, and let the water rain down over my face. I raked my hands across my face wiping away any excess water. Before opening my eyes I heard a slight splash on the other side of the pool. My eyes squinted open. It took me several seconds to focus. I blinked in disbelief at what or rather who I saw.

(  ) Sunshine22222 | Feb 19, 2017 | Writing a review for this book is very difficult. It freaking killed me several times over. The beginning is so sweet it could break the record for awww moments. I was totally into it. Then it morphed into a case of me wanting to smack some sense into the female lead. I needed her to snap out of it. Seriously I considered DNFing several times because of her stupidity. She's in love with him. He's in love with her. But she won't be with him because it will destroy their friendship so she destroys their friendship. It went to the point that I got angry and had to step away a few times. But then, it would be gnawing at me to return to the story. I mean I really, really, really needed to continue reading like a drug addict jonesing for a fix. Obviously I became a total nutcase as my review is highlighting. I dropped too many tears to count. I was swooning like mad, angry as hell and crying constantly. Reading this novel was epic. I feel like I should be allowed to book a resort vacation now. It was extremely worth it, but I couldn't go through it again. I freaking love Noah. All he wants in life is to love her. He's patient, kind and handsome. He's the ideal friend and lover. This is a love story that started around preschool age and endures through a metric ton of life's crap. I will never forget reading about Noah and Tweet. Overall it left a great aftertaste and made me want more. Even though it probably took years off my life, I loved it!

Han compartido todo: primeras palabras, primeros pasos, primer día de escuela, etc. Todo iba bien en el inicio. La historia del traumatico Halloween de Amanda cuando su mamá la obliga a disfrazarse de Piolin y Noah le regala la mitad de sus dulces para que no llore, es tierna. Pero ya cuando iba por la pagina 88 odiaba a Amanda, que no deja de lamentarse ni un instante porque su hermana es perfecta y ella no. Y ya habían pasado tantas cosas que realmente no entendía para que hacían falta 332 paginas mas. Pronto me di cuenta que esas paginas solo serian una repetición de exactamente las mismas cosas que ya habían pasado: Noah diciendole a Amanda que la ama. Amanda y Noah besandose. Amanda arrepintiendose porque no quiere dañar su amistad. Noah y Amanda llorando. Noah prometiendole a Amanda que va a mantenerse en la friendzone. Amanda o Noah saliendo con alguien. Amanda o Noah poniendose celosos... Y comienza el ciclo de nuevo. Copie y pegue eso infinitamente y obtendrá Present Perfect. Por lo menos hasta mas o menos la pagina 300, allí nos encontramos con la madre de los plot twist. Mi reacción cuando lo leí fue más o menos esta: Y es que realmente no me lo esperaba, todo está bien (o tan bien como pueden estar las cosas entre dos mejores amigos que se aman pero no se atreven a estar juntos) y BOOM! un segundo después: Si hubiesen añadido ese giro muchas muchas paginas antes, todo hubiera sido mejor. Pero este libro es extremadamente largo sin necesidad; y luego de haber leído tanto, que la autora decida tan así de la nada, jugar con los sentimientos de los lectores, no me parece justo. He leído varias reseñas donde la gente dice que no podían parar de llorar y blah blah blah. Pero yo particularmente no lloré para nada, estaba sorprendida sí, pero no triste. No es un libro terrible, pero tienes que tener el superpoder (el cual yo no tengo) de aguantar personajes molestos (aka Amanda) para poder disfrutarlo. (  ) Glire | Jun 22, 2016 | This book definitely deserves five stars. "Everything" is one of my favorite song, but it took a whole new meaning, I will never be able to listen to it and not think about Tweet and Noah. But the lyrics that make me think of them are those of All of me. What would I do without your smart mouth? Drawing me in, and you kicking me out You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down What's going on in that beautiful mind I'm on your magical mystery ride And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright My head's under water But I'm breathing fine You're crazy and I'm out of my mind 'Cause all of me Loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me I'll give my all to you You're my end and my beginning Even when I lose I'm winning 'Cause I give you all of me And you give me all of you, ohoh How many times do I have to tell you Even when you're crying you're beautiful too The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood You're my downfall, you're my muse My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you Give me all of you Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts Risking it all, though it's hard ( ) Inessova | Mar 28, 2015 | no reviews | add a review

"I've been unsure about many things in my life except for one thing, that I have always loved him. Every single minute of every single day that I have been on this earth, my heart has belonged to him. It has never been a question, never a doubt. The love had taken on many different forms over the years, but it had always been a constant. Everyone has their definition of love. There have been countless songs sung about it. A gazillion books, articles, and poems written about it. There are experts on love who will tell you how to get it, keep it, and get over it. We're led to believe love is complicated. It's not the love that's complicated. It's all the crap that we attach to it and put in front of it that makes it difficult. If you're smart, you'll realize this before it's too late and simplify." Amanda Kelly spent her entire life trying to control every aspect of it, while striving for perfection. Her obsession with being perfect, along with her feelings of worthlessness, consumed her.

One of the writers on Wattpad recommended this book to their readers so I decided to give it a try since I really like their writing, and they seem to share a similar taste of books as me. But I was extremely disappointed in this book. The beginning was okay but as I continued reading I became more and more aggravated with the main characters. It was a common girl and boy likes each other story but won't admit it and pushes each other away, and it drove me crazy. The end of the book was cliche and predictable. It seems like many people like this book but I just wasn't one of them. (
