Sing To Me - Lucy Tregidon (lyrics and video)

The summer air,

Blows through my hair,

And reminds me that I miss you,

The winter snow,

Makes me feel so cold,

But I still miss you,

Sing to me,

Like that summer day,

With our heads on the grass,

And sing to me,

With your hands round my waist,
And this feeling that could last,

Sing to me,

The autumn leaves,

Fall from the trees,

And tell me how I miss you,

The spring left its mark,

Like this scar on my heart,

I still miss you,

Sing to me,

Like that summer day,

With our heads on the grass,

And sing to me,

With your hands round my waist,
And this feeling that could last,

Sing to me,

Sing those words I long to hear,

The words that take away my fears,

Sing, sing, sing,

Sing to me,

Sing the words,

To help me get through,

Sing the words,

To help me get through to you,

But don’t forget, what we had,

Is always in my heart,

Sing to me,

Like that summer day,

With our heads on the grass,

And sing to me,

With your hands round my waist,
And this feeling that could last,

Sing to me,

Like that summer day,

With our heads on the grass,

And sing to me,

With your hands round my waist,
And this feeling that could last,

Sing to me,

Sing those words I long to hear,

The words that take away my fears,

Sing, sing, sing,

Sing to me,

Sing to me,

Sing to me.

This book really confused me. For the first about 150 pages I hated it and had to force myself to keep reading because all of the reviews I had seen said how amazing it was and it took me about 2 months to read that much, alongside other books because it just couldn't keep my attention. After that point though I loved it and couldn't put it down and read the rest in 2 days. I'm not quite sure why that is but there must be something about the second half of it that's a lot better than the first half. If you have this book and start reading it and find you don't enjoy it like me, persevere with it because it's worth it in the end.

"What's wrong with me? What kind of girl wants to kiss every boy at a funeral, wants to maul a guy in a tree after making out with her (dead) sister's boyfriend the previous night? Speaking of which, what kind of girl makes out with her sister's boyfriend at all?" - This pretty much sums up the book. Lennie Walker is a teenage girl who's sister recently died. She's meant to be mourning the loss of her sister but manages to find herself in some weird situations instead, such as making out with her sister's boyfriend and falling in love with the new guy in town, all at the same time.

*SPOILERS* There were certain areas of this book that I found to be a little bit too far fetched and unrealistic, such as the fact that Joe can play pretty much every instrument on the planet and that he can speak English and French fluently and he seems to be all around perfect. Also, I appreciate the fact that Lennie's favourite book is Wuthering Heights but the fact that she had read it 23 times is a little over the top and it seemed as though you almost needed to have read that and loved it to fully enjoy this book. Speaking as someone who hasn't ever read it and therefore doesn't share the love for it with Lennie, certain parts where she just kept comparing her love for Joe to that of Cathy and Heathcliff left me wondering just what sort of love that is, as I have only ever heard extremely short summaries of Wuthering Heights and therefore don't really know the plot of it. I could also see the fact her and Toby would end up feeling like brother and sister from a mile off, it wasn't a surprise at all and I could tell it was going to happen from almost the first mention of Toby. *END OF SPOILERS*

I wasn't too impressed with this book purely because it took me so long to get into it. Once I was into it I really enjoyed it but the fact I was reading it for so long before I started to like it sort of ruined it for me. I think this is the kind of book that completely depends on the person for them to like it or not.

I absolutely loved this book. I actually find it difficult putting into words how good it is! For the last 250 pages particularly I just couldn't put it down! I've seen some reviews say that they felt the same story could have been portrayed in less words but I disagree. I feel like everything that was in this book was there for a reason and I don't think the story as a whole would make as much as an impact if any of it was missing.

*Divergent spoilers from here on*

Tris has managed to survive an attack on Abnegation, her former faction, and has escaped from the Erudite leaders, all while avoiding being put under simulation. But for how much longer can she run from Erudite? Insurgent follows Tris and Tobias in their attempts to save the people of the remaining factions and bring down the Erudite leader, but will they succeed?

*SPOILERS* I loved how the factionless were used throughout the book. I liked the fact that they always seemed to be there in the back ground and just as you forget about them being there a little they appear. I absolutely loved the ending too. I thought the last 3 pages or so were perfect and the whole idea is amazing. The fact that the book ends with them finding out what's outside 'the fence' just left me wanting to read the next book in the series straight away! I also thought the whole idea that there is a 'normal' world outside of the world we've learnt about in Divergent and Insurgent leaves the plot of the next book open to almost anything. I can't wait to discover whether they will venture outside of the gate and explore the world that they know nothing of or whether they will stay inside and try to fix some of the mess that Erudite created in this war. As soon as the next book comes out, I will be buying it! *END OF SPOILERS*

Overall, I loved this book so much and would definitely recommend reading this and Divergent. One of my favourite books I've read this year and I have read a lot of good books this year!
