Book Review: (Caution: contains spoilers) Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen

Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen 5/5 Stars

Hey, Hi, Hello, friends!!! So, I just finished Saint Anything and it's like 3 in the morning. I'm so tired but I have so many thoughts I just had to write down. So, how about we do that before I fall asleep, or you know put you to sleep with my long awkward introductions to my posts..: 

Saint Anything is the first of three and a half Sarah Dessen books I've finished and the only one SO FAR to get five stars. Usually I say I'm way to generous with my ratings because..well because it's true. If you scroll through my read list on goodreads, I guaranty you more than half of them with have Five star ratings. I'm trying to work on stricter ratings, but until that day comes Saint Anything will stay having five stars.

Being said that the other Sarah Dessen books I've read haven't quite blown me away I was nervous to start reading this one but I was really not feeling a dystopian and the only romances I really have that I haven't already read is all these Sarah Dessen books. So, being nervous and not knowing what to expect was quite nice for me.

Let's talk about our characters:

Sydney: FINALLY A MAIN CHARACTER THAT DIDN'T GET ON MY NERVES. Alright, maybe not the first one that didn't get on my nerves but I found myself agreeing with all of Sydney's decisions, especially things like getting angry at her mother when she wouldn't let her do something, or how she went back on something she said. Although, the part where she didn't tell Layla about her and Mac was killing me because I knew, I KNEW, that was going to be part of our biggest problem. Other than that though I quite enjoyed her character. She wasn't super whiny and complainy..is that a word? Sure, she complained a little, but doesn't everyone? And considering her situation with her brother I'm surprised she didn't complain more.

Peyton: So, while Peyton wasn't a main character but at the same time one of the biggest characters in the whole book I found myself enjoying the glimpses I saw of him. I mean, yeah, he made some bad decisions but some people do and I have seen physical evidence that people who have done drugs or drank or smoked CAN stop if they really want to. I really feel like that's what Peyton was trying to do during his time at Lincoln, and I really felt like that was a big step in his character development even though he didn't really have much of a part. One complaint I do have though is how it seemed like everyone was saying they really felt like this book was deep and they felt the emotions because I honestly didn't feel that at all. I didn't once feel like that. Having been through some tough times similar to these circumstances (not myself) I didn't quite feel that emotion of longing and wishing things weren't like that the way I would have liked too.

Ames: I didn't like him from the second we met him. He was a douchebag and it bothers me that it took almost the entire 417 pages of this book for Sydney's parents to finally understand that. He was rude, and intruding, which I hate.

Julie Stanford: Didn't like her much until the end. HATED the way she treated her daughter. I get it though. It's like Mrs. Chatham said, she didn't want the same things that happened to Peyton to happen to Sydney but I still don't think Sydney should have been treated quite like that. The way she tried to be so involved with EVERY LITTLE THING really bothered me too, like, okay woman we get it, you're the perfect PTA mother, you're a perfectionist just back the hell up a little. I liked that Peyton wasn't afraid to tell her this, I didn't like how she took it out on Sydney.

Peyton Stanford (Father): First off I was so confused the first time his name was said because I thought they were all talking about Brother Peyton, but we weren't. On the other hand, I liked her father. He seemed much better than Julie, even though he had his moments I still feel like he would be the kind of Dad to really sit and listen to his children's problems if his wife wasn't trying to take care of all of that by pushing him out of the way leaving him to just agree with whatever she chooses.

Irv: I really really liked Irv. He was funny, Strong and helpful, also very hungry. He was a nice little addition to the group.

Eric: He was weird and kind of crazy but just enough so that you actually really liked him. At first he came of as a douche when you first meet him but the more you get to know him, and his backstory he starts to go on you even though he can be kind of a lot at one time.

Mr. Chatham: He was always just kind of there. Just like Mac, always there if you needed him. His love for bluegrass was great. I loved that addition, especially because he works at a pizza place. Also, I really want some Seaside Pizza and I'm not even a big fan of pizza sooo that's saying something.

Mrs. Chatham: She was amazing. Every time she appeared all she did was spout words of wisdom. If I knew where my tabs where while I was reading this book I guarantee half of the things she said would be tabbed. She was a "Saint" haha I'm not clever. But seriously, she was the best. In ways she was more like Sydney's mother than her actual mother was. I was so scared towards the end for her, because it's always those kind of things that will make you cry in a book, although it takes a lot to make me cry, so far I have yet to find a book that made me cry other than "Because of Winn Dixie"

Layla: I LOVED LAYLA OKAY. I didn't put it together that she was the same girl in the beginning but I had a hunch that that girl was going to have a bigger part and she did, I just didn't realize it at all until she mentioned it. I loved how she just like decided her and Sydney were best friends. I need a friend like Layla. Also I was totallllllllyyy rooting for her and Eric to get together the whole time. I wish she would have sung more because apparently she had such a wonderful voice. Honestly, I think Layla was my favorite character of the entire book.

Mac: Mac, to me is a weird name. Literally all I thought about half of the time when he was being mentioned was Jenna's dog from Clifford the big Red Dog. I feel bad saying that, because other than that. I really loved Mac's character. You know, again other than the not telling Layla thing. But he was so sweet and a wonderful brother and always there if he was needed. I really liked him. I also really liked how the book ended with them still together because unlike the other Sarah Dessen books I've read the girl somehow always was single again at the end of the book.


           So, those are my thoughts on the characters. Are your thoughts any different?
The story, I thought was good. There were just soo many things that could have possibly gone wrong. Which I guess is why I found myself surprised that I enjoyed this book so much. I wasn't too surprised with any of the plot twists and I wish I was. The story itself was pretty well thought out, and I really understood the way Sydney was feeling, with like the guilt that wasn't hers. I've felt like that my whole life. I've always felt like there was something more I could do or could have done differently that could have changed the outcome of what someone else did, but alas it doesn't work out that way. Has anyone else ever felt that way? Like I just always felt like everything was my fault even if I knew/know it wasn't. I'm not sure if that even makes sense. So, I really understood how she felt every time she heard David Ibarra's name. Anyways, it has taken me way to long to write this review which is probably terrible, so I'll need to work on getting these done quicker before forgetting everything that happened! Until Next Time<3

What am I Currently Reading?

Hey, Hi, HELLO! How is everyone doing on this fine day? Today I was thinking I'd share what I'm currently reading because I'm in the middle of a lot of things. Well, that's what reading slumps do to you I guess! Haha! Let's get started!!!

Alright, so, according to my goodreads I've been reading 'Along For The Ride' by Sarah Dessen since August 2015. Now, let's just have a moment of silence for the fact that it is almost August of 2016 and I still have not gotten ANY further than chapter eight in this book. It's been a whole year!! I guess maybe I'm just not feeling it or maybe it's because I don't really understand the hype around Sarah Dessen's books. I have read two all the way through and I'm just not sure what makes them so great. Honestly, to me they're just kind of bland. Nothing really happens and it seems like typically the storylines are only tweaked a little bit and given a new title, and different characters names. I don't know if it's because I read 'The Moon and More' first or if it's just because I don't like the others. Out of the two and a half I've read The Moon and More is my favorite. It's possible I like the way that one is written because it's one of her newer releases, however, nonetheless, I hope someday a Sarah Dessen book will change my thoughts on her books, but until that day her books will continue to be meh for me. 

Next on the list we have 'Elixir' by Hilary Duff. This has been one of my current reads since April 1 of 2016. This was a reread for me, or going to be a  reread. The first time I read this book I read it in a night. I mean I devoured this book. I was so into it. It was so intriguing. Who is this mysterious boy in Clea's pictures? What is the Elixir? The reason I decided to attempt to pick this up again was so I could read the next to books in this series even though I know I'm not going to be happy with her choice in the end. ALSO CAN WE HAVE A MOMENT FOR THE COVER CHANGES. Like, no.  This cover, ^^^ That is beautiful. Not the new ones with the girl on the cover. I am not a fan of the new covers, in case that wasn't obvious. 

Next on my list is Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. I started this book for a book club I joined. But I was not expecting my reading slump to sneak up on me. It was one of those ones where you just did NOT want to read, not one little bit. Do not get me wrong, this book is really good. Well, it was for as far into it as I got. I really hope to finish this soon and find out what in the world is going to happen with Mare and stuff because WHAT! 

Next, we have If I Stay by Gayle Forman. This is an awesome book. I've read it once before and I loved it ever so much. Five stars from me. This time around I'm rereading it only because my sister wanted to read it and so I was like hey, I've got two copies of this book, Let's read it together. So we started reading it and then we stopped, I guess because we got caught up in moving madness. Hopefully, we'll get to continue reading this soon. (I'm wondering if it'll make me cry this time around, the movie gets me everytime)

And lastly, Once Again by Liz Braswell & Cameron Dokey. This is a bind up novel of two Fairy Tale retellings. I bought this from Target a long time ago just because I love fairy tales and I really wanted to buy a book and so I bought this and I'm just now getting around to reading it. So far I'm only about six chapters into 'Snow' by Liz Braswell and it's interesting. I guess we'll have to just see if it takes off or what is going to happen with that. 

So, that is everything I am currently reading at this very moment. As you can see it's taking me quite sometime to get into these books and I really hope to change that super soon. Hopefully, after I move and get all settled in I'd like to kick some of these off of the list.

Have you read any of these? What are your thoughts? Ratings? Let me know!
Until Next Time<3

Review: The Crown by Kiera Cass

Hello today! Hehe wow I'm not clever. Anyways! Today I am going to be doing my first ever full length review and I'm ever so nervous. I've never written a review this way before and I hope it all makes sense. I would advise having read the whole of The Selection series or even just The Crown because I have a tendency to accidentally give away spoilers.  So please proceed with caution!! 

So, Today I am going to be reviewing The Crown by Kiera Cass which is the fifth and if I'm not mistaken, final book in the Selection series. The Selection, The Elite and The One follow America Singer who is chosen to participate in the Selection. The Selection is a contest where thirty-five girls compete against each other to win the Prince's hand in marriage. Or in Eadlyn's case, the Princess's hand. America somehow, miraculously wins her Selection and marries Prince Maxon, who btw is the cutest, and then we get into The Heir and The Crown.  The Heir starts Eadlyn's journey. You learn within the first few pages that she is the Heir to her father's throne, beating her brother, Ahren, to the catch by seven minutes.  When things begin to go south in the kingdom Maxon and America come up with the grand idea to give Princess Eadlyn a Selection, even though they promised her she would never be married off like that. Eadlyn is not very happy about it at all and during the Heir you see her have to struggle through the idea of having to distract the people and trying to keep her heart to herself because she refuses to give it away to these strangers. Personally, I think it's pretty easy to tell who will be top contenders in Eadlyn's Elite. 

At the end of the Heir something tragic happens and Eadlyn realizes she has to finish this Selection with a man by her side. But who does she pick? Well, that's what we find out in The Crown. 

(Okay, so that's it of the definitely not a spoiler part, no promises for what is coming)

Alright, so the Crown picks up RIGHT where the Heir leaves off, and I'm pretty happy about that. Eadlyn is struggling with the weight of the kingdom now suddenly thrown on her shoulders. Even though she knew she would hold the weight someday, she never expected to hold it that early. While filling in for her Father as Regent, Eadlyn still struggles with the thought of her Selection. How could she possibly rule a kingdom and choose the right man for her heart all at the same time? Well, I wouldn't have been able to handle it that's for sure. I really loved how when she made the decision to narrow it down to the Elite the boys understood why and didn't try to make her see reason as to why they should be kept there. I think in that moment both for Eadlyn and for Me I realized boys aren't always going to be douchebags like Jack was. Anyone remember him from the Heir? Yeahhh. That happened so quickly, I almost totally forgot about it until I flipped through the heir the other day. That was crazy.
Okay, so while we're on the subject let's talk about the characters.
     Princess Eadlyn: Don't get me wrong I love Eadlyn, a lot more than America. I mean America just kind of did things without thinking and for me that was so annoying. Eadlyn on the other hand seemed to overthink everything and I don't know which is really better there, but all the same I was more satisfied with Eadlyn's decisions than America's. I also really hated her name at the beginning of the story. I didn't know how to pronounce it, I thought it was weird. However, somewhere in the middle of the Heir I started to really like it. One thing I still don't like about it is the way everyone called her "Eady" but other than that the name really really grew on me as did her character itself. When you first meet her she's very guarded and bossy. Which I guess would make sense, you grow up around a bunch of boys you learn to be that way. But throughout the book you can really see her beginning to realize it's okay to feel. It's okay to tell people how you feel. It's alright to speak your mind. Not everything will go your way but not everything is under your control.
      Kile Woodwork: I must confess something. I loved Kile from the second Eadlyn first ran into him. Well, you know what I mean. I had a feeling he was going to be a top contender even if he wasn't chosen, which really surprised me. I was not expecting that at all. When he was chosen though and slowly Eadlyn starting realizing he wasn't so bad after all I found myself falling for him. I felt like he kept proving himself and honestly the entire time I was secretly rooting for him.
Josie Woodwork: Okay, while I hated Josie in the beginning I felt like she turned out to be quite a sweetheart at the end there. She was so very annoying in the beginning, rude and obnoxious. But once she shadowed Eadlyn that day it was like whoa who is this character and where did she come from! Lol!
Prince Ahren Schreave: I hated Ahren's name too. Let me just throw that out there. It took me forever to finally decide how to pronounce it. Finally I realized it was basically Aaron and I felt kind of dumb for not realizing that earlier. I totally loved Ahren's character up until he left with Camille. I thought it was a terrible thing to do, even though I completely understand why he did it I still felt betrayed by that sudden decision. THEN I about died after I found out about America and then the book ended and I actually died. My goodreads review was literally just me screaming about what the heck was that.
America and Maxon:  America was surprisingly not as much of a character as you would have expected. Maxon on the other hand was and I loved every second of it. Like how can you not love Maxon? Honestly, you have to be insane if you don't like Maxon Schreave.
Neena: She was just a little ray of sunshine.
Lady Brice: I wasn't quite sure how I felt about her until the end. That plot twist, I had no idea was coming came and Lady Brice officially had my full trust.
Fox: I was super confused with Fox. When the boys were first introduced to Eadlyn I did not remember meeting Fox. Honestly, I had no recognition of him until the night in the kitchen. But after that I really kind of felt for him. He really was a sweet genuine person and I felt really bad when Eadlyn sent him home but I knew it had to be done.
Hale: I LOVED Hale from the beginning. He was just nice and the conversations between him and Eadlyn were just so smooth and easy going, Really I thought Hale had a running chance for about half of the Crown and then that thought was ripped COMPLETELY out of my hands. Lol. I did not see that plot twist coming at all. But I'm glad it did. And I'm glad Eadlyn and Hale will continue being good friends after the Selection. (I really loved how she wants him to design her wedding dress<3)
Henri: Where do I even begin to describe sweet, adorable, Finnish, Henri? Well, I guess I just did. Henri was easily one of my favorites from the second you met him. He was adorable, sweet and just overall the cutest little guy ever. I think I'm just gushing over him now, but how can you not? 

Erik/Eikko: Now, I don't wanna say I called it because I totally didn't but I totally knew he was going to be a big part of Eadlyn's Selection. Like He was going to be there, she would always have to communicate with him just to talk to Henri. But like to add to that he was so sweet and caring and just ugh. He was always just there walking around the corner when Eadlyn needed him and I just- I'm not even mad he won. Though I wouldn't have been mad if say Henri or Kile won because I loved them all as well. 

Sweet lord, was that everyone? Probably not, but I'm gonna stop there and actually get into discussing the book. The Crown really picked up right after The Heir and I was grateful for that, because the end of The Heir destroyed me. I was mad and on the very verge of tears while reading Ahren's letter to Eadlyn and then the guards were like "Oh your mother had a heart attack" and I'm just sitting there thinking, "What the heck do you mean she just had a heart attack." and then I flipped the page and it ended. I was a mess of emotions that night, that's for sure. I was really excited to start the Crown because I HAD to know what happened, and so I started it the next day and then stopped. I don't know why but that's what happened. I still wanted to know what was going to happen but for some reason I couldn't make myself pick up the book and read it, which is ridiculous considering the size of it. Once I finally DID pick it up again I found myself flying through it.  I finished it really rooting for Kile, expecting her to pick Henri and then ending up with Erik and like I don't know and you but I was pretty satisfied with how it all ended up. 

It would have been nice to have had more explanation on the decision Eadlyn made about the country at the end. That felt rushed and quickly thought up but other than that I didn't really have any complaints. I really liked all of the suitors she had to pick from and the final choice was plenty okay with me. I think it was a good end to the series. I wanna know your thoughts! Comment and tell me if you thought differently and let's chat! Also let me know if this is the right way to do a book review! Until next time<3

The Birthstone Book Tag!!

Hello, so I was thinking it might be smart to really start off this Blog with some tags so that's what I'm gonna do! Today, we are going to be doing the Birthstone Book Tag and I am soo excited! I first saw this tag on Spinesandcovers.com site,https://spinesandcovers.com/birthstone-book-tag/. So there's that if you want to go right ahead and check that out and then we'll get started!!

     

January (Garnet) - Associate with warding off 

negative forces and dark energies – Name a 

book with the darkest/evilest character you 

can think of.

Harry Potter and the Order of The Phoenix by J. K. Rowling

Was this really a question? My mind went STRAIGHT to Umbridge and The Dark Lord. They are both incredibly dark and cruel. Both are feared and hated by many. 

FEBRUARY (AMETHYST): PURPLE IS ASSOCIATED WITH ROYALTY – NAME A BOOK WITH REGAL QUALITIES… YOU CAN BASE THIS OFF OF CHARACTERS OF CHOOSE THE KING OF ALL BOOKS 

Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George

I chose one of my favorites for this one. This is a twelve dancing princesses retelling so like LOTS of Royalty! Twelve main princesses and their father, plus princes!! 

March (AQUAMARINE): Washed out – Name

a 'wishy washy' character,a character who is 

not strong or a follower.

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Now I haven't read these books so I don't know if Bella is still like that in the books or what. But in the movie she's just not a good main character. To me it seems like all she does is whine and complain about things. And then the way she just depends on Edward and Jacob, like you can't depend on one person THAT much. They won't ALWAYS be there for you, so you need to learn to fend for yourself sometimes. 

APRIL (DIAMOND): A DIAMOND IN THE 

ROUGH – NAME A BOOK THAT YOU LOVED 

BUT IS NOT WELL KNOWN

Fluorescence: Fire Starter by P. Anastasia

This book is special to me. I discovered it at Comic Con and fell in love 

with them, The covers are BEAUTIFUL as well. It's a story about a 

group of teenagers that are infected with a disease that was given to 

them by a dying Alien race, who has hopes that the humans will save 

them. The four main characters are tasked with the job of doing the 

Alien's dirty business and they aren't happy about it. 

May (EMERALD): Said to balance energy – 

Name two characters who balance each  

other well

Doon By Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon

For this one I chose Doon, or Shades of Doon as the picture shows. Veronica and Mackenna balance each other out perfectly if you ask me. It may be just because of the way they "share a brain." But I think it's just the friendship between them. 

JUNE (PEARL): ASSOCIATED WITH LOYALTY – NAME A CHARACTER WHO IS LOYAL TO THE END

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

Two words for you. Percy. Jackson. I mean who better for this question than him? His Fatal Flaw is LOYALTY!

July (RUBY): Blood red – Name a book that made your blood boil, one that made you angry

The Selection by Kiera Cass

This was a wonderful series. The story is great, the covers are amazing, the ideas are good. the only problem I have with this book is, America Singer. I don't think I have to explain why because she's America's Singer.

AUGUST (PERIDOT): PALE GREEN (IT PALES IN COMPARISON TO OTHER GEMS) – NAME A SUPPORTING CHARACTER WHO YOU LIKE BETTER THAN THE MAIN CHARACTER

The Maze Runner by James Dashner

I chose the Maze Runner because personally I like Newt and Teresa better than Thomas. They are main characters but they aren't the MAIN character. Not that I have anything against Thomas or even Minho, I just really love Newt and Teresa who aren't exactly the main characters of the story.

September (SAPPHIRE): Blue like the ocean 

which is calming – Name a book that had a 

calming affect on you

The Heartbreakers by Ali Novak

This might sound a little weird because like how could this book have a calming effect on me? Maybe it was just because it was almost like a memory for me, but it was new and adorable. It really just made me feel relaxed like I wasn't in a hurry to read it or anything. It was a nice quick calm relaxing read, but also a what's going to happen next? read. 

OCTOBER (OPAL): IRIDESCENT – NAME AN IRIDESCENT BOOK, THIS CAN BE A BOOK WITH A BEAUTIFUL COVER (SHINY? LOTS OF COLOUR?) OR YOU CAN BASE IT OFF OF A CHARACTER (QUIRKY? COLOURFUL?)

Wake by Amanda Hocking

You can't tell very well by the picture, but the actual hardback copy of this book has a beautiful shiny cover. 

November (TOPAZ): Associated with resilience – Name a books with a character who rises to the top in a time of adversity

                                            

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Katniss, because she had to overcome the death of her father and provide for her family in ways her mother couldn't.

DECEMBER (BLUE ZIRCON): ASSOCIATED WITH FRIENDSHIP – NAME A BOOK WITH A FRIENDSHIP YOU WANT TO BE APART OF

The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord

And last but not least, I would like to be part of Kaylee, Morgan, Paige and Tessa's group of friends. Though it might get a bit confusing with two Kaylee/Kaley's but the friendship between the four of them is just so realistic and wonderful and I'd love to be a part of it.
Also, I wouldn't mind being part of Veronica and Mackenna's (Doon) friendship either, as long as my Bestie's included!!

So, that's it for this tag, I hope you enjoyed it and I hope I did it right. If you have different thoughts for an answer let me know, let's chat! Until next time<3

Welcome to my Blog, Let's be Friends!

Hiii! So, I'm a little new to all this blogging stuff but I'm gonna give it a go! Thanks to my amazing friend I was able to create this page. Thanks girl! You are the best! So, in other words, for my first post let me tell you a little about myself: 

My name is Kaley, I am 16 years old. I am the oldest of four children, and the oldest of twenty-eight grandchildren. I loveeeeeee to read books and I love to write my own stories. I started reading with my dad when I was really young. Together we started reading A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket, and though we didn't make it all the way through the first book before we forgot about it, I believe it was because of him my  love for reading began. (The way this sentence is worded reminds me of Avatar: The Last Airbender, LOL!)  Later I finally decided to pick up the book again and read it all the through, and then I just kept reading them. But after that I didn't really keep up on reading, I very very slowly read books for school, but I didn't read just for fun until one day in sixth grade. My sixth grade teacher began reading a book to us that was just absolutely fascinating to me. It was called The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. When the class became too disruptive while she was reading, she decided to stop reading the book to us. I was devastated. What was Percy going to do next? Would he find the bolt? I had to know and so I ordered the book and finished it myself, thus beginning my love for reading.
After finishing The Lightning Thief, I just wanted more. I kept reading the series and eventually, somehow, I became the reader today. I have no idea what I read after that but I must have loved it if I continued reading after them. So here we are today, I've read things all the way from A Series of Unfortunate Events to The Lunar Chronicles and I plan on reading much, much more.
  That's my love for reading, so now let me tell you a bit about my love for Writing. I guess I have ALWAYS loved to write because for as long as I can remember I've written stories, even though they haven't always been that good. I would write down the random things that my mind came up with and then I would pretend to be those characters until I came up with a new story, and yes, I still do that everyday. I didn't really start putting real ideas and dedication to my stories until I discovered One Direction and started writing fanfictions that we really don't have to bring up. (They were SOOOOO embarrassing!) Then, finally, I moved on from One Direction Fanfics, only to write Disney/Dreamworks fanfictions. Now those are a little less embarrassing and they're about Queen Elsa from Frozen and Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians. I know a lot of people don't ship them but I do and so I wrote a fanfiction which you can read here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/14553449-i%27ve-got-your-back-a-jelsa-fanfic
I worked on those fanfictions for probably about a year when I saw 'Into The Woods' the Disney Film (not the original play ): ) which helped me create the story that I am probably the most proud of. I just couldn't get the idea of all of those fairy tales coming together out of my head. So, while I was thinking about fairy tales, my baby, The Castle of Dreams, was born.
This is a story about six best friends who wake up in a world where they are not themselves, but they're dressed as fairytale characters, on their Journey to find each other again they make some interesting discoveries about themselves and find themselves in the midst of a huge misunderstanding. I have rewritten it once before and I hope to rewrite it again to make it even better. You can also read this one on Wattpad, https://www.wattpad.com/story/54000297-the-castle-of-dreams. In case it wasn't obvious, I have a small obsession with Wattpad. In other words, I have many other stories because my mind will not quit thinking them up! If you read any of them, please please please, tell me what you think of them, feedback always helps!
