Depending on what you believe in I might be a gooey alien living underground in my big tank with internet for only means of communication with the outer world. I could also be a giant zombie dragon. Or a shrimp, but only on Wednesday.
Or I could be a twenty-two year old girl, getting her master's degree in English literature (cuz I want people to call me Master), using Kay Darali as her pen name (Kay's my nickname cause my full name is long, and Darali comes from DARknessAndLIght), with French as her first language, that absolutely loves to read and write but has an hectic life so doesn't upload as often as she used to.
I'm from that specie that thinks they're always right and own everything and if anything or anyone disagrees we'll destroy them and pee on their ashes. Claude Gauvreau is a big inspiration, I mean, when I'm on acid. I don't think the Earth is in danger, I think the humans are. And I don't always make sense 'cause like Augustus Waters, "my thoughts are stars I can't fathom into constellations."

You know sometimes when you really know deep, deep down in your gut that you are going to make some huge mistake but then you end up doing it anyways because you are demented that way and then finally you are just left with something to rant about.

My situation exactly right now.

I should have known the kind of thing I was going for. See, there's a reason why I left Wattpad. It had become too repetitive and unoriginal for me. There was hardly anything left that would interest me anymore. The only reason if I came back was for Storm & Silence series by Robert Thier ( God bless his precious soul ) which is one boy the best things I have read. There was no other reason. But then I saw so many books and I got greedy. I mean, not everything is boring there. Right? I have definitely read some amazing and very original books as well on Wattpad so what's the harm in giving another shot.

Then I came across this book which was so hyped with such tremendously overwhelming reviews, multiple re reads and everything that I went for it.

And of course, I was met with such an original plot about an average girl who has some strange unexplained hatred for your super hot popular guy. The guy surprisingly has a new girl dangling around him every second day and not to mention is also arrogant as hell. HA.
And you won't be able to guess this. He also happens to be a * gasps* jock.
*Surprise surprise*

At least the beginnings of such a cheesy, cliche plot should have stopped me if not that ridiculous title. I get that this whole sentence thing which is a title has a major reference from the book and everything but seriously. I could have done without second line.

Also the protagonist Lexi was so annoying. I don't understand how so many people like her. First of all she hates Blake for no reason at all. Even when he is being nice to her she acts like he some sort of her long lost nemesis. And on top of that she is so judgemental all the time. One time when he saved her form a big embarrassment and helped her in a really tough spot she didn't even say thank you or anything because apparently he is a jock and his lifestyle and love life choices didn't suit her ( which totally wasn't her business, at least since it was just the beginning of the book ) he can't do nice things and get thanked about it.

And she also apparently has a tendency to slut shame a lot. I don't mean to make a huge deal about it and I tried my best to overlook it but then she just wouldn't stop it. She must have used the word slut or whore in the first five chapter about twenty times that at one point I started feeling bad about my own choices of clothing.

Also everything was pointlessly exaggerated and childish. All those stupid pranks and getting back at each other thing. Also the dialogues that were suppose to be witty and hilarious were just plain lame. I overlooked the poor editing because it's a Wattpad book and I should at least cut the writer that much of slack despite the fact how much bad editing puts me off.

I am not calling it a horrible book or anything. I am just simply laying out the reasons as to why I couldn't enjoy it. A lot of people loved it and I get it. Five years ago I would have been a part of that crowd. When I joined Wattpad for the first time, I used to live on these cliche books. But over the time my tastes have evolved. So again, this isn't a bad book. It's simply of one of those types that I am done with.

I... don't know what to say actually. I NEED to review it to ensure you guys, people who haven't read it yet (why, people???), to just open a new tab, go to Wattpad, if you don't have an account there just simply make it, search this story with the keyword 'DarknessAndLight', and read it calmly.

I bet you... first, won't be able to read it CALMLY because you probably will laugh your ass out. Yes, yes, it's a story full of characters cracking insanely hilarious jokes and pretty much do weirdest things ever (the creek part, oh man, I died there! LOL!). Just prepare your cheeks, you may hurt them for too much smiling. And second, I bet you will LOVE BLAKE EATON! I can't put it into words how _____(fill the blank with the awesomest word you can think of)____ he is! I can't get enough of him. I am incredibly sad, he is just a fictional character... tsk. It's sad. Anywaaay, third, I bet you will re-read this story over and over because you simply will love this story too just like I do and you will want your daily dose of Lexi and Blake, or just Blake, whatever floats your boat, you'll just. Love. This. Story.

I can't say it's a super original or a unique story, it even can be considered as a cliche story. But, I found it very interesting how the author builds and plots her story. And ALL the characters? AWE-SOME. Wish this to be published soon!

Ooh! If you're done reading it and also suffered the Blake fever, just join the Blake Eaton's hysterical fans group in Facebook. No, it won't cure your Blake fever. It'll just make it worst. I'm not saying it like it's not a good thing though. Ha!

No, no y no. Leí hasta el capítulo 15 y cada momento fue una tortura. Todos los personajes son desagradables. Todos. Pero Lexi lleva las cosas a otro nivel. Es egoísta y cruel. Insulta a todos simplemente porque puede y después no hace más que quejarse porque su vida no es perfecta y "no entiende porqué".

description

description

Casi todas las reseñas (en serio, casi todas) dicen lo graciosa que es la historia. Y lo super que es la relación entre Lexi y Blake. Pues déjenme decirles que no me reí, ni siquiera hice una mueca que pudiera confundirse con felicidad, en ningún momento. ¿Qué es lo que se supone que debe darme risa? ¿Cuando Lexi se viste como prostituta para "recordarle a su mamá la juventud que ya no tiene"? ¿O cuando le dice "perra" a una amiga de su hermano porque dicha amiga cometió el error de saludarla? ¿O será acaso cuando todos están castigados e insultan tanto a la profesora a cargo que a la pobre casi le da una crisis nerviosa? Sí, seguro es esa última.

Y respecto a la relación de Lexi y Blake... Lexi lo insulta. Blake le hace comentarios sexuales. Wao sí, toda una base para una relación sana y duradera. Si por lo menos tuvieran química, pero tampoco.

Cómo a tanta gente puede gustarle esto, I don't know. De verdad yo sólo quiero olvidarlo. ¿Dónde están los Hombres de Negro con su aparatico borra memoria cuando uno los necesita?

I was maybe at 25% of the book and I was already sick of it, so I decided to give up on it. It's not poorly written, but the main character, Lexi, is so mean and such a bitch that I couldn't handle it anymore.

It's not like she's mean to everyone, just to Blake. Because she doesn't like him, she does something to mess with him, and when he does something to also mess with her, she says that he was the one who started. That's just being childish!

She was also constantly saying he was an ass and stuff, when he was actually being a nice guy (!!!!!) , but the last straw for me was when she said it was karma that he got in a car crash after a party and that he deserved it, when HE ISN'T A BAD PERSON NOR EVER DID SOMETHING TO MAKE HER THINK THAT!!!!

If I could, I would go inside the book and punch Lexi, and then I would give everyone else a pat on the head for having to put up with her.


ps- once she faked drowning because Blake was fooling with her and was pulling her feet when she was underwater. I don't understand what she was thinking...

A running-back-boy-jerk/player who turns out to be interested in the piano, literature and speaks French, Thai and whatever language you could find? Yes, Kay Darali's I Sold Myself to the Devil for Vinyls may be a little more typical than expected, I don't know how Kay does it, but it's something that kept me wanting more and more every chapter. I'd suggest it to everyone I know.

THIS DESTROYED ME.
This gave me all the feels.
It made me sob.
It made me laugh so hard.
It made me scream and jump that the people around me thought I was crazy.


The characters. The characters made me adore this book even more and more. Each one of them had there own unique personality and I couldn't help but fall in love with all of them.
I loved this book so much.

Just a bunch of cliches. The hot/arrogant/bad boy/jock guy that smirks and the "
not like other girls/tomboy/slut shaming girl.
Lexi was terrible. All she ever did was slut shaming and being childish. It's ok to not like Blake, but to hate him and treat him like shit for no reason? He was being a jerk from the start, but she wasn't any better.

Cheerleaders are portrayed as brainless sluts. They're often called bimbos. This was just lazy writing. The author just made those girls look incredibly unlikable and stupid to made the main character look like this awesome tomboy that everybody finds hot and cool, while the cheerleaders are only there to get banged.
The other characters where hardly introduced. They were just a bunch of names. Lexi, Blake, Vanessa, Tyler and alex

-Drake- Blake, is the typicall
arrogant jerk that has a permanent smirk, but wait! He's not, it's just a facade. I didn't read half of the book, but I bet my Harry potter box set that he has a sob story justifying the fact that he acts like a jerk

The book was dull and the humor nonexistent. Some cliche wattpad books can be quite funny and easy to read, they're still bad but at least some of them are fun.
This was just dull.

First off let’s discuss this title. It’s too long. It wouldn’t be that bad, although still lengthy, if “... Pitiful I Know” was taken off. Really I feel like some of the words in the title are unnecessary. You can easily make this title short by only removing words. For example, “Sold to the Devil”. That’s not long and I didn’t add words. Long titles, just irritate me especially if I tell someone what I’m reading.
Then, let’s get to the real source of my irritation over this book. The main character, Lexi. First of all, I hate when I have similar names to characters when I don’t like that character. A lot of my family call me Lexi, and I hate this girl’s character. She’s bitchy, petty, rude, needs to grow the fuck up, and has the mentality and maturity of a five year old. Seriously anyone who acts like her in real life just shouldn’t leave their house ever. People like her are why our world the way it is.
Next, let’s move on to the way she acts in the beginning of the novel to meet her mom. Yes, her mom walked on her, but I don’t think that Lexi should have gone to extreme to dress up like a “slut”. That’s another thing that bothers me, I hate when people use the term slut or slutty. It’s petty to dress up this way just to prove to your mom that you’re younger and more beautiful than her. I don’t even understand why she agreed to meet up with her mom if she was even going to act this way. By the end of the novel, I still didn’t notice much of a difference in her. Her internal monologue was boring and unnecessary most of the time.
I actually thought the book on a whole was kind of boring for the most part. I felt like it dragged on too much. I had less of a romance hope for this book because it is classified as teen fiction. The entire book is pretty much based on Lexi and Blake falling in love with snippets of Tyler and Vanessa. I personally would have classified it as romance with a tag of teen fiction. I also didn’t feel like there was much of a subplot that directed it away from the falling in love. That was the main thing in the entire book. That’s why I think it should be classified as romance and not teen fiction. I feel like if it was more teen fiction there would have been the majority focused on something other than romance. Maybe I didn’t enjoy this book as much because I have such a dislike over romantic books and things.
Then, there’s the fact of that Lexi and Blake don’t kiss until around the sixtieth chapter. That’s so drawn out and such a slow pace. Don’t get me wrong I like when a book takes their time, but sixty chapters is too long. Let’s move the story along.
I’m not going into this part so much because it irritates me to no end. Yope. What is that? Is that a ‘yep’ or a ‘nope’? Because honestly the way it’s used it points toward a ‘yep’ but it’s spelled closer to a ‘nope’. I can’t stand. It’s used so much in the story. It’s not even like just one character uses it. It’s all of them. They never ‘yes’, ‘no’, ‘yep’, and ‘nope’. They only say ‘yope’. I’ve never heard anyone use that in a normal conversation in real life. I’ve only ever heard it in this story. If anyone used that in a real conversation with me I would slap them. Stop. ‘Yope’ isn’t a real answer.
My final complaint about the book, isn’t about the book itself, it’s the author’s notes. I love author’s notes because it’s kind of a way to interact with the author and for the author to interact with their audience. But almost every author’s note was just the author complaining that they’re tired so it might not be good. I just wanted to comment, then just wait until you get sleep and then look over the chapter and post it. The readers can wait another day or so. It just sounded like an excuse and I hate excuses. The one that really got me was that the author said they were tired and that their writing may be suffering because of it but they still posted. If you don’t feel like your writing is up to par just because you’re tired, then wait to post it. The world won’t end because there wasn’t an update.

This book wow. I was hooked from the first chapter. I just loved Blake and Lexi's relationship and by the end I was sobbing (not going to spoil it haha) maybe im just a soppy sod? Who doesnt love crying at a good book though? I havent read a good book like this in a long time, and it was good to find out that I was hooked at in a way, I miss being hooked to a book and having to read to the next page. It got to the point where I was sitting up at midnight still reading and having to force myself to put the book down.

All im going to say is, that I could see the love Blake had for Lexi and it was so cute when they admitted it to one another (not such a cute way to do it, but hey at least they admitted it eventually!). Seriously though all that aside if your looking for a book with a bit of romance, with a good storyline that throws things at you and makes you go "WOW!" then give it a read.

Recenziju za ovu knjigu sam prvo planirala napisati na engleskom jeziku, ali sada ,dok sjedim ispred ovog svog racunara, shvatam koliko sam umorna. Tako da drzim se svog maternjeg jezika u ovom slucaju.
Moram prvo da kazem jedno veliko hvala Milici , koja mi je preporucila ovu knjigu, i Radmili , koja mi je pomogla sa slikama.

Knjiga je bila jednostavno fantasticna.



4 ,a ne 5, zvjezdica sam dala zbog jednog gotovo poljupca (primjetite tu rijec gotovo). Bila sam toliko iznervirana i zaklela sam se svim i svacim da 5 zvjezdica dobit nece.

Naravno, kasnije sam se pokajala zbog tog i premisljala, ali ljudi kakva bi ja to bila osoba da pocnem krsit obecanja.



U ovoj knjizi imamo jednu veoma interesantnu sexy vezu ( ili dolazak do te veze). Lexy i Blake se nikad nisu dobro slagali u skoli ili uopce primjecivali jedno drugu, bolje receno (tako barem Lexy misli). Mada ona je takodjer mislila da se Blake zove Drake, tako da to dosta govori o njenim socijalnim vjestinama.

Zbog Lexy sam na trenutke imala zelju da pocnem glavom udarati od zid.

[image error]

Posjecala me na jednu od mojih prijateljica koja tolikooo razmisljala o svemu, kao Lexy, da je jednostavno ponekad pozelim zadaviti. Ne brinite- nisam (cujem da je ilegalno). :D

A Blake... je bio u potpunosti dusica . Ne privise, naravno, ali dovoljno da se zaljubim. Njegove izjave su me obarale s nogu, istovremeno izazivajuci potoke suza zbog jakog smijeha. .

Na pocetku knjige Blake pomaze Lexy u jednoj nezgodnoj situaciji i zbog toga sada Lexy njemu duguje. Medjutim, ako zelite prezivjeti u njihovoj srednjoj skoli postoji samo jedno pravilo ''Nikad nista ne duguj djavolu po imenu Blake''. Zasto? Jer kad djavo dodje po svoje isplata ce se malo kome dopasti, ponajmanje duzniku.

This book honestly had me laughing the entire way through until it had me crying. It’s been in my Wattpad library for many years, and I don’t know why I suddenly decided to read it, but I’m so ridiculously glad I did! After finally finishing the book and finding out the author has also written four short spinoff stories and a sequel, I know exactly what books I’ll be reading next. I couldn’t move on to anything else knowing there’s more of everyone’s stories yet to read.

The relationship between Blake and Lexi just made me super happy and very jealous. Their sarcasm and humour are exactly like mine, and it just made the book so much better for me personally. Josh’s character absolutely cracked me up as his humour is either really rude or he just talks pure rubbish. I honestly cannot wait to read the rest of these books!

Seeing as this was a reread and I haven’t read this book in years it really gave me such nostalgic feelings which is probably why I’m giving this a 5 star rating otherwise I feel like I would’ve given it a lower rating but it was just such a nostalgic feeling to the book that I don’t even care about all the parts that would probably have bothered me if this was a first time read I just loved it and I missed it and ohmygod I’m crying ok bye

I sold my time to this book...pitiful I know


There's a difference between an online book and a book that's been published. I'm not saying every published book is fantastic. There are a lot of shit books but as far as wattpad is concerned, the stories are too cliche and not up to the standard of the books that we usually read (atleast in my case).

This book was funny, I'll give it a thumbs up for that but it was too lengthy for no reason. I hate slut shaming and this book was yet another wattpad fiction with all the cliché elements in it.

But I would say it was enjoyable at times ... atleast it was better than "The bad boy and the Tom boy" (argh ...I hate that book so much...sorry not sorry). Anyway, it started with an average scenario and the ending was good (another thumbs up) but the main character was annoying as hell.

There is seriously no point for me to dwell much into this now that I'm done reading it finally.

For me, this is by far THE BEST WATTPAD STORY I've ever read.
I love Blake Eaton and Lexi Grayson.
Gosh, just... gaaaaaaah!
Mommy Kay Darali is one heck of a talented writer and I want to meet her in person. XD
I can't even begin to describe how AWESOME this story is. Like really really really AWESOME!
If possible, I want to read it everyday!

"I Sold Myself to the Devil for Vinyls... Pitiful I Know" is total epicness. I love this so much. *^*

. For 3 days I did nothing but read this story and let me tell you- I forgot life existed for a moment so it’s safe to say I have a massive wattpad hangover now.

Also the ending was so satisfying like there is something about authors ending their stories with the title of the story that just makes me SO happy and this was one of those instances.

The fisrt thing that I must say is that I found the title genius! It is a statement followed by a commentary, it makes one super curious to read it! Still mostly good things I have to say about this work stops here.
I'm read it until chapter 40th.
It took me a lot of boredom and lack of better things to do to reach chapter 12, after that it was pretty entertaining and fun, but these hot guys that keep popping up are just too boring.
The story itself has a pretty cliche plot: Average plain girl hates player guy, but then is forced by circumstances to spend time with him and discoveries that there is more to him than meets the eye, like he being wealth, absurdly accomplished for a teen – knowing five languages, how to paint like a renascence painter, playing the piano super well, being an expert in literature in all these languages that he speak – and full of mysterious personal tragedies that scared him for life, making him a poor puppie in need of a savior, who will save him through love.
Don't get me wrong, I realize that fiction is fiction, is free from reality boundaries, but a character like that make the book less engaging, because it is less believable.
On top of all this cliché, main character average plain girl has mommy issues. She hates her mother with all her soul in the beginning but at chapter 40th she starts to realize that she can actually forgive her. Oh! How surprising!
I'm was expecting some amount of cliche, but not that much… Is just frustrating, you always know what is going to happen.
Besides there is a lot o filler, that just truncates the story's narrative flux.
All that aside, the book has potential to be a simple entertaining novel, if it's author take the time to do a good editing, cutting out the excess of filler, and making the player boy a bit more realistic.

Why did I think that this book would be any different? Why did I think that I should read it? Why did I think I will like this book?
Lexi, the protagonist, has a terrible personality. Everyone, literally every boy, liked her at some point of time. She's popular, everyone wants to be friends with her, the only girl in the group and is extremely quirky and fun to be with. Not.
She is judgy and is constantly slut shaming every other girl who isn't her friend.
Blake: why does he keep forgiving Lexi for being so judgy? Because he looooves her. He is a player and his only personality trait is being a play boy who suffered a trauma when he was young and couldn't get the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. I felt sorry for him until I read the other book which was written from Blake's POV, he said "I wonder if the bleach has gotten into her brain" and now I hate him, because he's despicable.
The plot was okay, but it would have been better if the characters had a better personality.
P.S. : I have seen people commenting the book was written in 2007 or around that time, so the author didn't know any better and slut-shamed some of the supporting characters, that is no excuse and still doesn't make it acceptable. It's not right and in my opinion the author should edit these parts out of the book.

THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK EVER THAT MADE ME READ IT UNTIL THE LAST CHAPTER WITHOUT GETTING BORED OF IT, TRULY AMAZING AND ROMANTIC!

Lexi Grayson and Blake Eaton are heck one hot couple imo. Anyways, it's hard to explain that I had a roller coaster of emotions while reading the whole book, from laughing to getting annoyed, to getting disgusted and getting teary-eyed, and honestly this is the book that got me interested into reading more books, thank you so much Kay Darali (aka DarknessAndLight) for such an amazing masterpiece, I hope she updates the sequel, The Smirking Jerk, cause I also want to go through the whole thing again but with Blake's POV instead of Lexi's.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR THOSE READERS WHO ARE MORE INTO ROMANTIC, CHEESY, AND COMEDY GENRES, because believe me, with your imagination plus this book, you are going to feel the same way as what the characters did. So go ahead and read it now on Wattpad for FREE and ENJOY! :)

The beginning was amusing, cute and everything I had imagined. The middle just felt like a constant drag for the inevitable moment we'd all been waiting for, and I get why the author wanted that and she even gave us reasons to BUT I just lost the interest back and forth when the MC was constantly daydreaming about a certain guy and chiding herself all the time for it. However, it felt more authentic that way, we all overthink and try not to but it just won't let us be. I get it. But if I wanted overthinking drama I could have stayed in my own head.
AND THE USE OF YA. In the beginning it was cute, then it just popped up like a freaking tic everywhere in every paragraph (okay a bit overdramatic but there were moments when I just wanted to throw my phone out the window), even the grown ups and professionals used it. Is it so hard to use yes more often and yep? They were there once in a while thanking my lucky star for that.

What redeemed my sense of 'why am I reading this prolonged nonsense?' was the ending. It moved me so much with the time jumps with Blake getting better, them having kids and how their kids grew up together. UNREALISTICALLY enough, all of the characters stayed together. You can call me a killjoy but love does not work out that well for everyone, especially not high school sweethearts, just saying.

I'm just looking back, seeing all the bad Wattpad stories I've read.

This was no exception.

Let me ask you, my lovely viewer, a question. What do you think about when you hear the word, "Wattpad"? Do you laugh? Do you squeal? Do you cringe?

I certainly cringe.

This is just another cookie cutter story where the main character is a beach and she slut shames the cheerleaders and thinks that the hot guy is a A-hole.

~STOP. SLUTSHAMING.- I don't understand why in books the MC thinks cheerlearders are nothing but girls who sleep with every guy they meet, have big boobs, and party all night. Uh, No. That's not reality. The cheerleaders at my school are actually really nice and wish to focus on their studies. NOT LIKE THESE CHEERLEADERS.
~Okay, what's with the brooding, crooked smile (how tf you do that?) emo guy?? Like stop. And the guy in this one was actually different from the other super hot, oMg guy. (HE WAS ACTUALLY NICE)
~The main character- Lord above give me patience for this girl. She is one of the worse written characters I've ever read. She slut shames everyone, is super rude to everyone, and is a big A-hole to Mr. Tall and Brooding over here, when he was actually trying to be nice. Like CAN SOMEONE SLAP HER PLEASE??

What do you think happens next?
A. MC falls in love
B. MC falls in love
C. MC falls in love

I don't usually remember details about books I read a long time ago. But with this one I remember it all.

I read this book years ago, but I remember loving it so much. The ending actually gave me a heart attack tho...the author had no right putting Lexi and Blake (and me!) through that!!
