(Review) To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before #1 – Jenny Han

This is the sort of book that you can't wait to finish, yet you never want it to end. I found myself trying to quickly read the pages just to find out what happens. Jenny Han's writing really makes you feel immersed in the action, I completely forgot I was actually just in my room… Continue reading (Review) To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before #1 – Jenny Han

(Review) Will Grayson, Will Grayson – John Green and David Levithan

I am a huge fan of John Green however I have to say 'Will Greyson, Will Greyson' is not a personal favourite of mine. Once I had put the book down I was left feeling very conflicted as there is a great plot, but something felt missing. I wouldn't agree it brings readers to tears,… Continue reading (Review) Will Grayson, Will Grayson – John Green and David Levithan

(Review) The Little Prince – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry did an amazing job with The Little Prince. It is filled with really insightful morals and views on the human condition. Although it is a story aimed for children, adults can learn a lot from The Little Prince's journey. There are many embedded teachings and values which children may not fully understand… Continue reading (Review) The Little Prince – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

(Review) The Sun Is Also a Star – Nicola Yoon

This book was absolutely beautiful. There's something about Yoon's way with words that they just absorb into you and make you forget that there is another world existing outside. I got absolutely lost in this book, which is a very special, and quite rare feeling. As first I was sceptical about the constant switch back… Continue reading (Review) The Sun Is Also a Star – Nicola Yoon

The Great Gatsby – F. Scott Fitzgerald

After reading The Great Gatsby I was left with so many questions. Does Daisy actually love Gatsby? Did Gatsby even love Daisy? Gatsby's whole purpose was to win Daisy back, as she was the love of his life. However she seemed more like a prize to him rather than the love of his life.  The… Continue reading The Great Gatsby – F. Scott Fitzgerald
