Stephanie Perkins is (apparently) the Queen of young adult contemporary novels. I say apparently because I haven’t read her contemporary work. So when she released the premise of her new novel: There’s Someone Inside Your House, I was instantly intrigued. Perkins had left the world of gushy, cheesy, romantic, contemporary and delved into the world of thriller, murder and mystery. …
Where do I even start when talking about this book? It is everything that I expect a Holly Bourne novel to be and more. I didn’t know if Bourne’s writing could get any better, but it did… It really did… …
It’s 00:27 and I’ve literally just finished reading The Upside of Unrequited and I can tell you this: it had all the feels. My heart was crushed but it also soared because of how amazing Albertalli’s writing is… …
I cried. I actually cried at this book. This is going to sound really cheesy, but this spoke to me on so many levels… Letters to the Lost is about confronting your own demons, about facing loss, dealing with family problems, friendship, and love. It is a beautiful young adult contemporary that deals with so many issues. …
Reading Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda, you wouldn’t think that this was Albertalli’s debut novel. Normally a debut has a few problems here and there and the storyline isn’t quite up to the standard that is should be, but not with this book. No way. Albertalli has created something that is so powerful and moving that I started reading it again once I had finished it.
After Nicola Yoon’s debut novel: Everything Everything took the young adult genre by storm and was loved so much by everyone that it’s becoming a movie, it wouldn’t be long until Yoon’s second book was to come out. That second book is The Sun is Also a Star and in my opinion, it is better than her debut.
Being the author of All the Bright Places, Jennifer Niven knows how to reach the young adult audience and how to capture their hearts and attention. She knows how to make characters relateable, three-dimensional and loveable.
Holding up the Universe is better than All the Bright Places. It’s 10x better. The writing is more fluid, the characters have more depth to them and there’s a strong, clear, positive message all the way through the book: you are wanted, you are necessary, you are loved.
When I first read Jandy Nelson’s debut novel: The Sky is Everywhere back in 2010 when it came out, I was encapsulated by Nelson’s writing style and the characters that she creates. I’ll Give You The Sun is another magical novel from the mind of Jandy Nelson. A story that will bring you to tears and make you laugh, a story that has characters you will love until the end. …
I am a ginormous fan of Becca Fitzpatrick’s work. I loved the Hush Hush series and Black Ice was a thrilling pageturner, so when Dangerous Lies was released I bought it and read it as soon as I got home.
The Lost and the Found is a teen fiction thriller novel by Cat Clarke that can leave the reader eager to turn the next page or put down the book and give up.
