Wow, I don’t even know where to start with reviewing One Last Stop. I absolutely loved Red, White & Royal Blue and now I can’t decide which of these Casey McQuiston novels I like more! One Last Stop follows August Landry, a 23-year-old student, who has just moved to New York City with few belongings and walls she’s […]
When We Are Invisible is the sequel to the post-apocalyptic YA #loveozya book, The Sky So Heavy. It follows Lucy, Fin and Max as they flee Sydney in search of safety and shelter. This is definitely an important book and gives a voice to women everywhere. Most of the book is set within a camp […]
I really really wanted to love Meet Cute Diary. I love meet cute stories and when I heard that the main character is mixed-race and transgender, I leapt at the chance to read this novel. Unfortunately, despite loving the fantastic exploration of gender and identity in this book, Noah, the main character, just irked me throughout the […]
TW: cheating in relationships I’ve been putting off reading The Sky is Everywhere for years and years. I’ll Give You the Sun is one of my favourite books of all time and I just didn’t know if The Sky is Everywhere would live up to my (probably unreasonable) expectations. And I don’t think that it did… Not to say that […]
I’m very sad that I didn’t have a big bowl of pho to eat while I was reading this book. Maybe one day I’ll reread it while visting my favourite local Vietnamese restaurant (though, the staff would probably discourage that as there’s always a queue out the door). I don’t really have enough words to […]
Tiger Daughter is a story of Chinese immigrants, who do what they can do survive after migrating to Australia. Whether it is coping with their crushing pride, unspoken disappointments from losing their previous stature in life, to their children coping with bullying and being different while just trying to live, it covers a lot in a […]
The Good things Final book in the Embassy Row trilogy, a YA contemporary/ thriller trilogy. This was what I’d been waiting for in the last two books! Twists and turns, centuries old secrets and deep betrayals! And a lot more death! All my pressing questions have been answered! I finished this in one sitting (more […]
The Good Things Book 2 in the Embassy Row trilogy, a YA thriller/ contemporary series. Picks up directly where All Fall Down ended and gets moving. It explores more of Grace’s mother’s secrets and introduced some new mysteries. Like all Ally Carter books, super easy to read. Especially the last half! I’m super intrigued by […]
The Gravity of Us tries to pack quite a punch in 300 pages, with space/science, journalism, mental health and coming of age all being key themes in this book. It has an interesting plot that alternates between being fluffy and serious and a diverse cast of characters. Although the story was entertaining, I thought most of […]
