MAN CRUSH FRIDAY: Colton Haynes


Hello everyone! I'm now officially on holidays since my exams are OVAAAH. So, while waiting for the results, I decided to start a new tvshow: Arrow. I saw a lot of people on Twitter/Tumblr talking about it and saying it was great but, I have to admit, the real reason why I started watching was COLTON FUCKING HAYNES. (I love it now though, it's awesome!)

I discovered Colton a year ago thanks to Teen Wolf in which he played Jackson Whittemore, a sarcastic teenager who wanted to be a wolf but ended becoming a sort of weird snake (and finally became a wolf and moved to London...odd isn't it). Unfortunately, he left the show at the end of the second season and I couldn't have the chance to see him acting anymore. However, I continued to follow Colton's activity and eventually started to watch Arrow three days ago. Colton plays Roy Harper, a poor teenager who dates the main character's sister, Thea Queen. I immediately loved his appealing character and it was a pleasure for me to see Colton on screen again.

Besides his actor skills, Colton can also sing incredibly well. A few months ago, while I was on Youtube, I found this and immediately fell in love.


Now, you can see how perfect this man is! He doesn't only sings and acts, but he is handsome as well, and you can't deny it. (I know being incredibly gorgeous is not a skill but whatever) To be honest, he's a part of my the-most-sexy-men-on-Earth-according-to-Jéssica list. I could post thousands of photographs of Colton, but I decided to show you this and this instead.



I know this post is quite short, I litteraly wrote in one hour or 
less but I just wanted to share this cute little face.



Love, 
J.

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS REVIEW

I found this photo here
(I read it on my computer so I can not take a photo sorreeh)


After spending more than a year hearing everyone talking about how "incredible", "wonderful", "amazing", etc., that book was, I FINALLY READ THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. It was really important for me to read the book before watching the movie (it came out on June the 6th in the USA but only comes out on August(us haha i'm so funny) the 20th in France). So, after three days of almost non-stop reading, I can finally tell you... IT'S ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I'VE EVER READ. I'm literally speechless.
First of all, if you haven't read the book (I hope you have though), here's a (very) little summary:



Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten.



To be honest, when I finished the first chapter I wasn't really enthusiastic because the relationship between the two main characters (Hazel and Augustus) was moving too fast in my opinion. However, as I continued to read, all my senses slowly started to develop through Hazel and Augustus adventures and I couldn't think about anything else but reading. Chapter after chapter, everything on my mind was TFIOS related.

There is particularly one character I wanted to talk about in this review: Isaac.
People who know me know that I have this awful habit to get incredibly attached to minor characters (Isaac isn't what you could call a minor character though) in any kind of tvshow, movie or book. So, naturally, I have loved Isaac the minute he met Hazel for the first time and I was moved by his story although I was sad we hadn't the chance to know more about him.


Obviously, Isaac wasn't the only character I fell in love with. Let's take a minute to talk about Augustus Walters, okay? Okay. (heeey see what I did here). At first, he seems like the eternal bad boy all flirty and stuff but slowly we discover what his disease made him go through which makes everyone love him even more. In my point of view, his weakness is one of the most beautiful and rough thing about the entire book.
These imperfections in the characters make them real, we can easily relate to them thanks to their weakness and it's one of the things I liked the most in the book.



I also liked the book for his originality. It is not the happy-ending kind of book; the end is surprising and unexpected. Furthermore, cancer is one of the most expanded diseases in the world and it's important to me that people discuss it, that it doesn't become a taboo as AIDS was before and, somehow, still is.

Anyway, I hope you'll read the book if you haven't yet and you'll enjoy it as much as I did. I'm looking forward to watching the movie and I may do a review to tell you what I thought of it.



Love, 

J.
