Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon

Absolutely A Must Read!
I had seen this book on a lot of bookstagram accounts and they all had great things to say about it so I thought I'd give it a chance. I was hooked from the very beginning and could not put this book down. It is a pretty easy read, only took me 3 hours to finish, and left me wanting so much more. I am not a fan of cliffhanger endings and I feel like this book gave just that. It would've been nice to get a little more closure maybe let us know what becomes of Maddy and Olly instead of leaving off where it does. Other than that I loved every bit of it, especially how it wasn't predictable. I was genuinely shocked by the plot twist and found it excited to find out what would happen next. I would recommend this to anyone who loves books about young love, adventure, and coming of age.

Tell Me Three Things by Julie Buxbaum

This book!
Jessie reminded me of myself in high school in so many ways but was also different in her own way. I knew who Somebody Nobody was from the beginning though and could not wait until he was revealed which I wish had happened earlier. I could not put this book down and I finished it in a few hours because it was so good. Definitely a book to help escape the real world. I don't think there were ever any dull moments or any parts that felt like it dragged on, it kept going with more and more twists and was a great representation of the life of a high school girl, at least in my opinion. Definitely a must read for any girl who has ever felt that no one sees her.

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

Wow.
This book was so much more than I expected. The characters were all so realistic it makes you feel like you know all of them personally. This book is so relevant in our society today and more people need to read this. It's an eye opener to those that have never lived in a place like Starr's and don't understand the struggles of the black community. This story touches so many things deeper than just police brutality and racism. The swearing might be intimidating to those who don't use those words in their regular vocabulary but it's apart of the language and if you can look past that you won't regret it. Definitely the book to read this year.

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

There was a lot of hype about this series on Bookstagram accounts so when there was a limited time deal to purchase the ebook for $1.99 I figured I would just get it and see what it was about. I liked most of this book, the story was unpredictable at times but still predictable at other times. I felt like it dragged on a lot and the graphic scenes were not to my liking. I'm not a huge "steamy romance" novel type of girl so that was a major part of why I gave a lower rating and why I will not be continuing the series. I have heard that the following books are way better but I just prefer not to read books with those types of scenes. I'm actually shocked this is listed as a teen book because it is definitely not appropriate for teenagers to read.
