Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry: The hilarious and heartfelt YA romcom

Product Information

Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry still manages to leave a nice, important place to family relationships. Everything isn’t all sunshine and rainbows in Quinn’s family, between her parents’ fights and her grandmother dealing with Alzheimer. I really appreciated the inclusion of these family dynamics in the story and liked how they shaped Quinn and the plot itself, just as well. PDF / EPUB File Name: Excuse_Me_While_I_Ugly_Cry_-_Joya_Goffney.pdf, Excuse_Me_While_I_Ugly_Cry_-_Joya_Goffney.epub The writing was adorable, witty and just plain entertaining. Overall, this book was extremely fun to binge and if I had thought of being swallowed by blankets and with a cup of tea beforehand, it would've been the perfect setting to read this in and experience the sweet nothings of the romance and friendship included within it. Cowards will do anything to feel safe, to feel in control. I used to be a coward, too, but the first brave thing I ever did was to stop being your friend.” I fell in love with the world, the story and the characters. OH HOW I LOVE THE CHARACTERS! They're perfect. But not perfect-perfect, they have imperfections of course, I mean they're so easy to love.

He deserved better, gosh darn it. And his role was literally really important! HE WAS THERE. Oh wait, was he? Or was he a ghost? Hmm? My smile widens. It grows and grows, like a plant that you water every day, like a scar that heals from patience, like the time you take to make sure you feel okay. So big and so bright.” A contemporary romance has to be exceptional for me to a) remember it for a long time and b) love it so much I want to cry. And this one marks the spot.I liked how he had these flaws that almost broke the romance, especially making him realistic (not, I have never met someone like him. But to be honest, I go out once every two months) I wanted to shake him so badly because some things he did were close to unforgivable, and THEN he would proceed to insert his gorgeous face into the argument and say a few words and bam, Booksy forgives. I'm seriously not this forgivable in real life. He is making me soft, and I hate it. The rough yet gentle tone of his voice, combined with descriptions of his ethereal being- okay, I'll stop. Too many compliments, he already has a big enough head without my wonderful input. I loved how so much was talked about in this small book. Bullying, race, lies one tells to keep appearances, teenage problems, adult problems, couple problems, and so on. The good thing is despite covering so much ground, every thread had a definite end. The characters all seem like real people so it's not hard to connect with their struggles and (ugly) cry along with them. And I did cry. A lot. Narrator Jordan Cobb provides a fantastic voice for Quinn as she conveys the range of emotions the character experiences throughout the story. Everything else, including the shifting vocal tones and pitches, worked well and created a great listening experience. A compassionate novel that encourages teens to prioritize the control, safety, and comfort of their own bodies.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A fun, emotionally rich romance with a sweet, imperfect character who will win your heart.” —Liara Tamani, author of All the Things We Never Knew Say something else, I swear!” Livvy steps nose to nose with Gia. “When it comes down to it, I don’t need an excuse to whoop your ass. We already got beef. But my patience wears thin when bitches get racist. Ask your friend Hailey. Ask your friend Paul. Ask your friend Sean.” I’m sooo mad at myself for not reading this book earlier!! I think this is one of my favorite books I’ve read this year, if not ever tbh!Their love was supposed to last forever. But when life delivered blow after devastating blow, Yasmen and Josiah Wade found that love alone couldn’t solve or save everything.

You know that feeling you get when something amazing is happening like if you try to keep it up for one more second you might spontaneously combust and destroy everything?” As for the romance it was heartwarming and I loved it. There's definitely more than kissing going on though, like this one scene that I won't spoil but it's nice for the upper YA crowd since Quinn is 18. In short, he was outrageously charismatic, indecently smexy and dosed with 'I wish I could have you, you moronic donut'. And yes, I meant that with affection. He needed a certain slap, is all.Common Sense is the nation's leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of all kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in the 21st century.
