Book Review: Addicted to You (Addicted to You, #1) by Krista and Becca Richie
Rating: **** (4/5 stars)

This is a story about Lily Calloway ( a sex addict) and Loren Hale (an alcoholic).



Though the book sounds a bit too sexual, the series is more about their love story and their fight against their addiction together. Lily Calloway is a shy girl and a multi billionaire daughter, a sex addict while Loren Hale is also a multi billonaire son, an akcoholic. They are childhood friends and know everything about each other and support each other's addiction. To make their addiction unknown from their family and to other people, they plot a fake relationship which their family are happy to support. For three years, they live as boyfriend-girlfriend in front of their family but at the same time, when they are together, they succumb totheir addiction. While Lo is drinking at bar anywhere, Lily is in the bathroom or any private place shagging every man she see. For three years, that's how they live! Isolating each other from other people, not having friends and only having each other. Eventually, they got tired and sick of each other's addiction and selfishness and decided to make their relationship real and help each other to fight their each other's addiction. But really  it's difficult. They never thought that helping each other also means feeding each other's addiction which doesn't seem good. That's where Connor and Ryke got tangled up with their problems and become friends with them (which is unusual). They formed a team fight addiction, along with Rose Calloway, Lily's sister. That's where the real fun begins.

I actually like this book! I love how the character's banter and their personality. I also like the fact this is not a Fifty Shades of Grey kind of series and you will become more amused and entertained with their bantering and normal day activities. You might expect casual sex now and then but it's not that really. It's more about them trying to restraint each other's addiction so there are sex part but there's enough sex that will leave some details for the reader's imagination. It also a good read and a little bit educational in a psychological way because you've got to know the mental state of a sex addict and an alcoholic. And it is so funny'! And I also like the part that all characters are elite. I don't think it falls under the erotic category but it is more of a New Adult Romance.

I remember, we were just talking about head transplant during psychology class - the possibility of it and the harm it might bring to the people who will be under this operation. There was also one dystopian series that I have read written by Neal Shusterman wherein the society are more invested into developing transplants instead of medicine. They call the process as Unwinding - a bill that suggests deviant teenagers may undergo the said process wherein they donate their body parts and organ (as in everything) in certain people or in an organ bank. Well, that was scary. Anyway, here's the article about the current and will be first ever head transplant:

You ruin your life by tolerating it. At the end of the day you should be excited to be alive. When you settle for anything less than what you innately desire,  you destroy the possibility that lives inside of you, and in that way you cheat both yourself and the world of your potential. The next Michelangelo could be sitting behind a Macbook right now writing an invoice for paperclips, because it pays the bills, or because it is comfortable, or because he can tolerate it. Do not let this happen to you. Do not ruin your life this way. Life and work, and life and love, are not irrespective of each other. They are intrinsically linked. We have to strive to do extraordinary work, we have to strive to find extraordinary love. Only then will we tap into an extraordinarily blissful life." —Bianca Sparacino, How To Ruin Your Life (Without Even Noticing That You Are)  ‪#‎ TodaysMantra‬

Book Review: Past Heaven by Laura Ward Rating: **** (4/5 stars) "The idea is that once you really love someone, and I mean the kind of love that fills you up from head to toe, it never leaves you.
