We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
4.0
I really liked this book and agreed with most of the things said. The only thing I don't agree with is the part about women being taught to aspire to be married being seen as a negative thing. It is possible to be married and still be an active feminist. I chose a husband who supports my dreams and pushes me to continue my education and go after what I want in my career. He, too, was taught to aspire to be married and we plan to teach both our sons and daughters the same things. Aside from that one part, I really enjoyed this book and I agree we should all be feminists.
P.S. I Like You by Kasie West
4.0
Props to Kasie West for making me go from hating a character to loving them all in one book. Definitely an emotional roller coaster but a good story. I wasn't too happy with the ending though, I felt like everything hadn't been resolved enough yet.
To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han
4.0
This book was very realistic and unpredictable. I wanted more from some of the characters but maybe they get deeper in the next book. Overall a great story and I'm getting the second book now.
One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus
4.0
Well, this book really surprised me. I hate most murder mystery books because the person is always the obvious one that no one in the book thought to suspect, but you know the whole time and it is so annoying waiting for the characters to catch up and put it all together. This book, however, wasn't like that at all!
I refuse to give away any spoilers, so I will just add that I was very wrong about who I thought was the killer. I changed my mind like five times before they were finally revealed.
The whole idea of the book was brilliant. I got a lot of Pretty Little Liars and Breakfast Club vibes like most people have, so the blurb isn't wrong, but it offered more than those two. It wasn't as telenovela-ish as PLL with evil twins and all that and the characters continued to interact long after detention unlike Breakfast Club where we have no clue what happened after. It was very realistic and believable, touching on topics that are so big in this country involving teens (sorry, but again no spoilers).
I wish it would've gone a little faster. It took so much time for everything to come together and there were so many details (I give the author props for that), but it dragged a little at some parts when the characters were struggling to put pieces together or waiting on information to come out.
