Sweet Little Thing by Abbi Glines

Don't waste your time or money on this one. Honestly a bad, trashy version of Fallen Too Far with bland characters and boring sex scenes.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Parts One and Two by John Tiffany

EDIT: So I finally saw Cursed Child live on 29th November and I definitely preferred the show over the book. I think it ties up better and the story feels almost entirely different while it's not. I definitely recommend you all go and see it live.

While I certainly did enjoy reading this and was hoping that certain characters would end up together in a Gay relationship. I do feel like this is meant to be watched, not read. But with that being said, I am seeing the show next year so I'll give you an update once I've lived through the performances of Cursed Child part 1 & 2.
The Hot Shot by Kristen Callihan

4.0

Not my favourite of the series but Kristen really delivers on cute, well developed relationships that survive the battles of life in all its harshest forms. Chester is a hard nut to crack, she's independent and serious with life, a total go getter and meeting Finn drags her off course. They experience a lot of firsts together and seeing all the ups and downs they went through is upsetting. I just wish that some of the drama was toned down because it fell over the line of unnecessary.
Insurgent by Veronica Roth

3.0

I disliked this book so much compared to the first time I read it. It was very slow paced for at least half the book, Tris and Four's relationship (if you even call it that) becomes immature and it's probably the worst relationship I've ever read in a YA book. As well as that, all the action came in the last 60 pages of the book, because that was the most interesting part. However, I do feel heartbroken. My favourite character died and despite him being horrible, he was the best character in the book alongside Christina. At least Peter redeemed himself and I'm kinda loving him at the moment.

what is it with me and bad boys?

I don't know and I don't care. All I do know is that Veronica Roth has an obsession with killing off every good character, yet leaves Tris and Four alive.
The Names They Gave Us by Emery Lord

4.5 Stars

This was my first Emery Lord novel and it certainly will not be my last. This book broke my heart, made me cry and then mended me all back together only to break my heart twice over. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Just a simply stunning novel of a girl finding herself amid a difficult circumstance while finding new friends and her faith.

Incredible.
The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon

5.0

Easily one of the best YA Contemporaries I've ever read. It's as beautiful as 'Eleanor and Park' and as Heart-breaking as 'If I Stay'. Nicola Yoon has created a masterpiece that tops her debut novel 'Everything, Everything'. I loved seeing Natasha and Daniel become a bigger part of each other's lives over the space of 12 hours. I loved being able to feel what they both felt.

'The Sun Is Also A Star' is smart, beautifully written and one of those books you'll treasure for a long time to come.
One by Sarah Crossan

Oh, my god.

I've never cried so much from reading a book, yet been so inspired either. I completely loved it! The characters were so fleshed out and relatable, their story was beautiful and I couldn't have wanted anything more from it.

I now have to go and read everything Sarah Crossan has written.
November 9 by Colleen Hoover

5.0

All the stars in the universe could never amount to how many I'd love to give Colleen Hoover and her books. She's incredible, one of the only authors who can make me cry every time I read one of her books. November 9 is enticing, heart-wrenching, soul searching and completely and utterly satisfying.


PS, Thank you so much Colleen for sending me a signed copy. I am forever grateful
