I can clearly see why they made a show out of this book now. It's definitely got every quality needed to make an epic TV show! Reading this book felt like watching a movie unravel in front of you and I loved that about it! And now I'm convinced I needed to watch it as … Continue reading Confess by Colleen Hoover

Regretting You by Colleen Hoover
I don't think there'll ever be a day when Colleen Hoover's books don't ruin me and then fix me up better than I was before. I've said it before and I'll say it again: She's my favourite author of all time. I feel like through every book of hers I read, I've lived another life … Continue reading Regretting You by Colleen Hoover
Dear Evan Hansen by Val Emmich
I've always said that if I can't relate to the main character in the book I'm reading in some way, then I won't be able to appreciate the story. Well, let me tell you, I have never felt more understood by a character than I did by Evan Hansen. He was literally the embodiment of … Continue reading Dear Evan Hansen by Val Emmich
The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness
I still can't quite figure out what to think of this book. It was decidedly very different from books I've read before, because, as the synopsis implies, it looks at the perspectives of people who were away from all the real actions. The people on the sidelines of the exciting story. The ones who aren't … Continue reading The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness
Faker by Sarah Smith
Enemies to lovers? Check. Diverse characters? Check. Humour and sassiness? Double check. Office romance? Also check. Slow burn? This book gave it a whole new level. Y'all aren't prepared. I love how simple and uncomplicated this book was. The plot was very straight forward and simple and that made it more centred around the emotions … Continue reading Faker by Sarah Smith
More Than We Can Tell by Brigid Kemmerer
I don't know how Brigid Kemmerer did it, but she managed to somehow create such a fiercely gripping main character who tears you apart by being so emotionally damaged and then makes you ridiculously proud to watch them rise above it all. The character development in this book for the main character, Rev, was honestly … Continue reading More Than We Can Tell by Brigid Kemmerer
American Royals by Katharine McGee
This book is like a mixture of The Selection Series and the Princess Dairies, but on steroids. (The characters in this book also reminded me a lot of the Kardashian's/Jenner's with all that scandal and drama 😂) There is not one page that doesn't have you gasping at how scandalous it all is. It felt … Continue reading American Royals by Katharine McGee
A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi
First of all, I feel the need to admit that I had a really hard time judging this book from a non-biased position, because I, myself, am a hijab (headscarf) wearing Muslim, like our main character in the book. But my religious morals are vastly different from the main character's and they clashed a lot … Continue reading A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi
Letters To The Lost by Brigid Kemmerer
Okay, wow. Sooo, this book ruined me. As in, it broke my already very beaten and bruised heart. Which is great, in theory, because that's what I'd wanted it to do. That's how I know it was a book worth reading. The second half of the book actually made me cry. Not like sobbing; more … Continue reading Letters To The Lost by Brigid Kemmerer
They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera
Adam Silvera has such a unique voice when writing his characters. That is one of the first things that struck me about his writing style. The two narrators in this book were so vastly different in both their personalities AND their lingo that I honestly never would've thought it was written by the same person. … Continue reading They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera
