Remix by Non Pratt
Genre: Contemporary, Friendship
Published by: Walker Books

Format: Paperback
Rating: ★★★★★

I LOVED THIS BOOK. I think that’s the most important thing to begin with. Even though this is a five star book, I did have a few problems with ‘Remix’, but loved it so unconditionally (like a baby?) I could look past some of the things that were uncomfortable to read. SO, let’s begin a list of things I love about this book, shall we? Continue reading “Review: Remix by Non Pratt”

Series: Obsidian (Lux #1) | Onyx (#2)
Rating: ★★ & ★★★

I’m combining the third and fourth book into one review, because the third book just really didn’t warrant it’s own review. So little happened, it was a blip in my reading schedule and I didn’t have anything insightful to add to my reviews of the series so far. Without further ado, here’s how I think the series is going. (Spoiler: Uphill, thank goodness!)

Flawless by Sara Shepard
Genre: Mystery, Contemporary

Format: E-Book
Rating: ★★

As I said in my review of the first book, this series is super addicting. I can’t believe how quickly I managed to read ‘Flawless’, every chapter seemed to take two minutes to digest. Is that a good thing? Hmm…

Format: Paperback
Rating: ★★★★★

A while ago, I picked up this book because it had an interesting cover, an interesting blurb, and BookTube couldn’t stop talking about it. I was in the mood for a contemporary romance, and choosing Simon’s story was the best decision ever. Here are a few reasons to love this book, because, as you can see, my rating wasn’t less than perfect! Continue reading “Review: Simon Vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli”

Rating: ★★★★★
Series: A World Without Princes (#2)

This is one of my favourite books. Ever After. I’m reading the series again to set myself up for the third and final book ‘The Last Ever After’ and, boy, was I glad I made that decision. This is a five star book. It’s genius, and filled with all of my favourite things! Ahh, I’m just a huge fangirl for this trilogy! So, here are my reasons for loving TSFGAE sooooo much:

The Good Girls by Sara Shepard
Genre: Mystery, Contemporary

Pages: 272
Format: Paperback
Series: The Perfectionists (#1)
Rating: ★★★★
Where to Find: Goodreads | Author | Amazon
A short review today because I can’t give a lot away without spoiling the book. But, I still feel the need to let you know that The Perfectionists is definitely a series worth reading. On Goodreads the caption is: ‘The shocking sequel to The Perfectionists—with an ending you’ll have to read to believe!’ and I couldn’t agree more. My jaw was on the floor. Here’s why.

The Perfectionists by Sara Shepard
Genre: Mystery, Contemporary
Published by: Hot Key Books
Pages: 272
Format: Paperback
Rating: ★★★.5

I read ‘Pretty Little Liars’ in order to prepare myself for ‘The Perfectionists’ and get a little taste for Sara Shepard’s writing. For me, this was another hit, a book I enjoyed more than PLL…but that’s probably because I loved a good murder mystery. Bring out the body, girls, let’s see what you’ve got.

Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard
Genre: Mystery, Contemporary
Published by: Harper Collins
Pages: 286
Format: E-Book
Rating: ★★★

I really wanted to dive into a new series. If I’d have known PLL was about 16 books long, then maybe I’d have reconsidered my decision. Knowing nothing about the TV show and therefore the plot, I was pleasantly surprised by my reaction to ‘Pretty Little Liars’ and it’s ability to draw you in and wrap you up in the lies, just as much as the characters.

Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Genre: Paranormal, Romance
Published by: Entangled
Pages: 500
Format: E-Book
Series: Obsidian (Lux #1)
Rating: ★★
Where to Find: Goodreads | Author | Amazon
Thank goodness! This book wasn’t a replica of ‘New Moon’ as I had previously imagined. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of content within the book, moving more towards originality. I appreciated this more than the last book, but it was still filled with tropes set to annoy me and at 500 pages long, I contemplated not finishing. But I did, so here are my thoughts.
