Review: Embrace it.
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 09 27, 2013
Embrace picks up where Emerge left off. We are taken on yet another intense roller coaster of emotions. Highs and lows. We get to witness many of the characters we love grow up in front of us. Learn valuable life lessons. We get to see Evan's story and what he see's and feels. And the ride is pretty amusing. Embrace is possibly even better than Emerge. We get our favorite characters and every day life situations thrown into the mix, you actually feel like this group is part of your friends. Stefani knows how to write a good book and she captures each and every store perfectly, it's Evan's story. But we still get to see Laney, Dane, Sawyer, Tate, etc. And we meet some new friends along the ride and we meet some new enemies and trials and tribulations they must all try and over come. It was truly an amazing book and I am proud of Stefani and proud of these characters, that is pretty much all I can give away, but I promise, it's even better than Emerge!Will Evan find his happiness? Can the gang over come anything?Find out in Embrace! <3.Quotes I loved:"I just kinda need to talk. And," I take a deep breath, "I wanted it to be to you.""I'm really here. I was hoping you'd want me, or need me, or whatever,""She doesn't slug people. Well, not often. It's a term,""I don't know who you are, or what you did, but you've got five seconds to get the hell out of here or you're gonna have bigger problems that your a$$ in that outfit.""I'm lady enough not to show my a$$ at a funeral, but woman enough to kick yours if you don't back off my friends.""Evan's a romantic," "always has been. No hit it and quit it for that one," "big softie he is. He wants to hear music and see stars when she walks in a room. Don't ya Ev?""He jumped that fence and pushed people out of his way, no one let him do anything. I'm surprised he hasn't landed LifeFlight in the damn parking lot to whisk her to a specialist by now.""Right about now, I'm thinking my sign is Proceed with Caution.""I have decided there are no normal girls on this campus. I can't even imagine what would be wrong with the next one. I have had my fortune told by the crypt keeper, fed another man's fetus and I'm pretty sure gone out with a dude! I said no!""Do you know anything you're not telling me? Like, she's transsexual, pregnant, into voodoo, drinks blood, is married, has three nipples or anything else that might strike you as odd?""Only a crazy woman can love you like crazy.""You worry too much sweet girl. I love that you wanna know my secrets, know me. Ask me anything you want, anytime.""S*** Laney, should we stop at the next store and check the back of milk cartons? I know my boy, he wouldn't ever ignore you.""Then as I was saying, you have been missing all day. I have been to see my mother after years and years of nothing, seriously begun to question Mr. Disney's mindset, been flown across the country in the blink of an eye by that Neanderthal in there and walked up to a woman trying to kick your ass. Do not say it again, I'm not leaving. I love you, therefore, you bossy, stubborn man, I. Am. With. You.""believe in me, trust me to love you no matter what, like I do you. I gave it all to you, everything I am and will be, leaving behind what I was. I'm asking you to do the same.""you are the best thing about me. The only thing in the whole world more beautiful than you is my love for you.""I've kinda been floating since you called me your girlfriend. There's not much that wouldn't make me happy right now.""Today has been the greatest day of my life," "thank you Evan, for choosing me, and giving me everything I ever wanted.""I am the luckiest man in the world that no one has ever loved you like I have, that I never have to think about that. When we're eighty, I will still be the only man who has ever been inside your sweet body, and I realize how amazing that is. And if I'd known you were on your way to me, I would have waited for you. If I could take it back, I would. But I can't, so you tell me something I can do to make it better.""F*** that, I told her, just because the Ferris wheel breaks they don't shut down the whole carnival, if you know what I mean.""and I'm sorry. I'd trust you with my life, which coincidentally, she is.""I'm tired, put your man to bed."
