je ne supporte pas les personnes, ils sont enfantins, leurs discussions sont ridicules, ils ne font que se répéter puis se contredire puis se répéter eh je souffle
et alors logan qui est au summum de l'irrespect à insulter Alyssa tout en cherchant à la voir mais en lui hurlant dessus mais ptdr il mérite de s'en prendre une pour avoir les idées claires ce con
et Alyssa qui malgré tout ça n'arrête pas de répéter encore et toujours qu'elle sera toujours là pour lui mais qu'ils ne sont plus rien l'un pour l'autre MAIS lui demande à chaque phrase s'il pense à elle MAIS JE SOUFFLE PTN
et Erika qui n'arrête pas de crier QU'IL SE DROGUE eh ferme la elle m'a épuisée
sans compter tous les autres personnages qui font et disent des choses qui n'ont ni queue ni tête..... et les mauvaises nouvelles qui s'enchaînent encore et encore pour créer encore plus de drames inutiles....
ce livre c'est un bordel, c'est incompréhensible que l'autrice ait pu écrire ÇA et un chef d'œuvre comme Landon and Shay et Eleanor and Grey je comprends pas

This is one of the best, most beautifully written books I have ever read. I went through so many emotions reading this book - I laughed and I cried, I felt happiness, anxiety, fear and heartache. I felt so damn much for these characters. Logan broke my heart so many times and I just wanted to hug Alyssa. I became so emotionally invested in this story I never wanted it to end. This is easily a top pick of 2016 for me and it's going on my all-time favorites list. An absolutely beautiful story that I'll never forget!

this book took me a month and a half to end it, i liked it so much at first, how they met and how their friendship and relationship was, it was the cutest. but when logan went to rehab it started to get worse and worse, until the end. and the end was fast, as if the auther wanted this book to come to an end finally. i wouldn't give it 4 stars, never, cs i didn't enjoyed it all, didn't feel like it was interesting to even continue reading. that's all i have actually

Another powerful installment in Brittany Cherry’s elementals series. Logan has lived a terrible childhood as the son of two addicts and abusers. Alyssa has a controlling, emotionally abusive mother, and a father who is never there. They have a friendship that turns slowly to high school love, but can two broken people do anything but hurt one another. Five years later, can they finally form something real? Powerfully done. I won’t go into detail here about the plot because there are some interesting twists that come up in this, but I will say that as always, I love Cherry’s ability to create real, relatable characters you want to cheer for, and beautiful love stories.

**3.5 Stars**
Logan (Lo) and Alyssa (High) created a friendship out of deep need. Him to escape and find care outside of his toxic home, and her to feel something outside of her stifled existence. With their paths merged, the bond that they form is deep and long-lasting. She becomes his high and saving grace, while he simply becomes her everything. But she’s competing against the hold his life has on him, and it is not a battle easily won.
I absolutely adored the first book in this series, and that was my first foray in Ms. Cherry’s writing. The writing is still enjoyable and captivating in The Fire Between High and Lo, but I had a really hard time falling for Logan. I essentially never did. He was such a contemptuous personality that I could never see past it, or find reason to love him. I couldn’t understand the choices he made which halted my connection to him, even as early as in Part One of the story. And you know, maybe Ms. Cherry wanted him to come off that way. Maybe she wanted readers to see an erred man who had faults and he wasn’t going to do anything to change them. And in Alyssa’s unwavering devotion to him, I think the lesson to learn is that there is the possibility to forgive in all of us even if we won’t admit it. I truly think that this novel has a lot to teach us (even though I know there will be others who can’t see past their opinions of Logan), and that for however many don’t love him, there will just as much if not more who absolutely love him. That’s the beauty of writing, and Ms. Cherry wrote another great story with characters who are unapologetically who they are. From childhood friends to beyond, Logan and Alyssa will take you on a ride.

“life support” and "too good at goodbyes” by sam smith
“ours” by taylor swift
“fire” by 3lau, said the sky, néonhèart
"you’re still the fire that keeps me warm when life becomes cold."
GOD I SOBBED SO MUCH!! this book broke my heart with all the tragic lows but healed me with the happy highs
the author writes in a beautiful, lovingly way where you become so invested in the characters: in their growth, in their dreams, in their happiness. like i literally was so proud of lo for making a grilled cheese sandwich. i wasn't expecting to love this book and the characters so so much! alyssalogan and erikakellan have my heart <3 also i might try the raspberry- oreo combo and logan's hair mask lol
