Hello everyone! Today I'm going to be sharing with you a no spoiler book review of Goodbye Perfect by Sara Barnard as well as a Q and A with the author! You can read my review of her previous book A Quiet Kind Of Thunder here!

Goodbye Perfect is the third book by UK writer Sara Barnard. The story follows Eden and her best friend Bonnie. Eden and Bonnie have been best friends for a very long time and despite being polar opposites, they are super tight, the types of besties that tell each other everything. Until one day when Bonnie decides to run away with her boyfriend without telling Eden. Things get worse when the police show up at Eden’s doorstep and she finds out her best friend’s boyfriend is also their school teacher. Sworn to secrecy and bound by loyalty, only Eden knows Bonnie’s location and that’s the way it has to stay. There is no way she can betray her best friend, not even when the police are questioning her, not even when Bonnie’s disappearance ends up on the front pages of every newspaper and not even when she has her own suspicious growing doubts. 

Hey friends! 

Today I’m going to be sharing with you my review for I Am Thunder! I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this amazing book and I had to share my thoughts on it because it is so worth the read. I have been reading a lot of South Asian #ownvoices contemporary recently and they have all been amazing, like this one! 

Hi friends! 

Wow it has been SUCH a long time. Firstly, happy new year. I hope 2018 is good for you. I know I haven’t been very active on my blog recently, and I’m really sorry about that, but I have been quite busy on my YouTube channel so make sure to check that out! I did recently share my bookish goals of 2018 as well as the best books of 2017 and the worst books of 2017 so make sure to click on those words if you’d like to watch those videos! 

Anyways, today I’m going to be sharing with you a spoiler free book review for Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills. I have reviewed one of her previous works This Adventure Ends on my blog, which you can check out if you’d like! 

Let’s just get started before I continue to ramble! (And wow, it feels so good to be typing out a blog post after so long, I didn’t want you to think I’d abandoned you all!)

As you can tell from the title, today I’m going to be sharing with you four reasons you should read Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu! This was such a cute book and I highly recommend not only for you to read it, but also for you to encourage others around you to read it. It has such a powerful message and one worth sharing. And don't worry, it's spoiler free!

Trigger warning: sexual harassment and attempted rape

Hey friends! 

Today I’m going to be sharing with you a spoiler free review for the gorgeous They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera. I have been meaning to write this book review for SUCH a long time because I read this book well over two and a half months ago as an e-ARC but I was super lazy before it was published to write a review and after the publication date, I got very busy! 

But better late than never right?

Anyways, Adam Silvera is a New York Times bestselling author of three books total, the others being More Happy Than Not and History Is All You Left Me, both of which are great books!

Hey friends! 

Today I am here to share with you my thoughts for TAKE THREE GIRLS written by Fiona Wood, Cath Crowley and Simmone Howell. This is a #loveozya collaboration between three fantastic authors and I was lucky enough to be invited for the blog tour of this gorgeous read, so let’s just get started with the review! 

Hey friends! 

Today I’m going to be sharing with you a review for Beautiful Mess by Claire Christian. This was the winner of the Text Prize 2016 and I was kindly sent an unsolicited review copy by the publisher!

 Hey friends! Today I am here to bring you a book review for Release by Patrick Ness! This is one that I hadn’t heard much hype for in the community but I had read Ness’s other work and really enjoyed it so I was eager to give this a chance, especially since it sounded quite interesting.

Hey friends! 

Today I’m going to be sharing with you another #loveozya blog tour for The Build Up Season by Megan Jacobson and so happy to say that I absolutely loved this book too! (The other blog tour I did recently for a #loveozya read was for Wreck by Fleur Ferris).

I hadn’t had a chance to read Jacobson’s other book, Yellow, before reading this, which I will for sure be picking up in the future, but I had heard such high praise about her work and I was excited to see how her novel would pan out. And damn was it amazing! 

One thing I wanted to add, which I thought was very cool was the design of this book! Other than the stunning cover, the spine itself has a ombre of purple, orange, pink and yellow, which the author had told me on Twitter, was inspired by the Darwin sunset. Is that not the coolest thing ever?

This review will be spoiler free and thank you so much to Penguin Teen for giving me the opportunity to interview Jacobson and of course to Jacobson herself for taking the time to answer my questions! 

Let’s get started!

Today I wanted to talk to you about The Names They Gave Us by Emery Lord! This was the first time I had read her work but I knew she was quite popular and has a large fan base. I had heard this book was amazing from other bloggers before reading it, and if you can’t tell by the title, I was not impressed.

If you did enjoy The Names They Gave Us, I am sorry for how badly I’m going to tear this book apart, so if you don’t want to read this, I won’t hate you because I understand!

Don’t you just hate feeling let down by books? Whenever I am told I’m going to love a book, while I may still like it but I won’t love it. This is because I start building a ‘shrine’ for the book in my mind, especially when my favourite bloggers rave on and on about it! I hate when it happens and even when I try to consciously not hype myself up for books IT STILL HAPPENS! And it’s even worse when instead of being horrible, the book is just ‘meh’ and a sad average three stars because then you can’t even rant about why you hated it extensively! *insert sad face emoji here*

In case you didn’t know, it’s pride month – a time to celebrate LGBTQI+ books and writers! And of course then there was no better time than this to share with you a special, Pride Month edition of mini reviews about books featuring bisexual main characters both of which are #ownvoices (meaning the authors feature the same diverse characteristics as their character)! 

Let’s just get started!

The sad truth about average books is they hurt more to read than absolutely terrible books and then on top of that, it hurts even more to write a review on it because there is practically nothing to write about it – you can’t write how terrible it was and proceed to share quotes and excerpts cringing at it and you can’t gush about how everyone HAS to read it. 

But alas, that’s what I’m here doing. So just keep reading if you want to hear my thoughts on why this book was extremely average for me.

I was really drawn into Queens Of Geek from the bright and fun cover and the adorable premise PLUS the rave reviews online where people were full on gushing about it! I read it as an ARC and then HAD to get the finished copy because it was just too pretty to resist!

When Hardie Grant sent me this book, I was SO SO SO excited, to say the least. Not only was it so beautifully and lovingly packaged, it was by an author whose work I had previously read and loved (Life In Outer Space AKA the cutest book ever – read it if you haven’t already friends!) and it was an #ozya I was very excited for! 

For more thoughts, just keep reading! 

Hi friends! 

Welcome to my no spoiler review of Remind Me How This Ends by Gabrielle Tozer who is an Australian YA author! This was the first time I had read one of her books and I was quite eager because not only had I heard amazing things, Tozer is also an award-winning author and this book seemed amazing! 

I’m also doing a different style of review today because as I am writing this, I have written 2 other posts today already and I am so exhausted from my normal subheading style posts so I’m doing something a little more relaxed!

Today I thought I’d do a mini review of We Come Apart by Sarah Crossan and Brian Conaghan!

I hadn’t heard much about this books going in but I was quite intrigued to see what would happen and decided to give it a try!
