Book Review- The Flight of a Starling

1 Comment

The Flight of a Starling

Rita and Lo are sisters. They are closer than closer than close; they can tell each other everything. Lo loves dancing high on the trapeze, feeling as if she were on top of the world. Then Lo meets a boy, and suddenly, all she wants to do is stay on the ground. As dark truths and ugly secrets slowly tear her apart, how far would Lo go to stay grounded?

Flight of a Starling is a raw, uncultured hurricane of the confusing emotions of teenagerhood, with a backdrop of a flamboyant, colourful circus, but the reader gets a deep and true insight into the people behind the greasepaint as well.

In this harrowing story of happiness, love, pain and realisation, the reader is sure to be hit hard with barrels of deep and unfiltered emotion.

 

Book Review- Crow Mountain

1 Comment

Crow MountainCrow Mountain is one of the best books I’ve ever read, up there with Ethan’s Voice (which I’ve also reviewed). Here’s a little about it:

Emily has lived her whole life trapped by her mother’s strict rules. On her way to her wedding, a horrible accident occurs, only she is saved by a local horse-trader, Nate.

Hope has lived her whole life overshadowed by her mother, Meredith, who has her life all planned out for her. She’s kept quiet about her dreams until she met Cal.

Little did these girls know their destinies are intimately entwined, and that they will fall in love in their battle for survival…

An amazing book that drew me in, broke my heart and then mended it.

Book Review- We Come Apart

1 Comment

we come apartWe Come Apart is a sensational thriller about differences, pain, love.

I think this book is really different to normal teen books; it’s got a vibe to it that’s entirely unique and I was totally enthralled by the plot Sarah Crossan and Brian Conaghan wove.

Jess has been swept into the wrong crowd. After her home life is left in tatters around her, it seems like her only option to fit in. But then she meets Nicu, and all that changes. She suddenly sees a different life, a kinder one, and with Nicu, she could make it happen.

But how far would they go to stay together?

This book contains a very important message about the treatment of refugees and I think people need to read more books like this to understand life from a different point of view.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes originality in a book.

The sun is also a star Nicola Yoon is back with another powerful explosion of a book, The Sun is Also a Star. I have posted about another on one her books, Everything, Everything, and I absolutely loved it. The same goes for this wonderful book of destiny and love.

This book really captures the essence of teenage loving, losing and finding the One, and all the pain in between.

I would recommend this to anyone who’s a sucker for romance books (like me).

Book Review- Everything, Everything

Everything, Everything BookEverything, Everything is a beautiful, eye-opening book about love and the risks we take to ensure that we have it.

Madeline has SCED (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency) and is allergic to everything Outside. She hasn’t left the house in seventeen years.

Every day she has been through the same routine in a neverending cycle. But when Olly moves in next door, everything changes for Maddy.

This book was adventurous, lyrical and heartbreaking all at once. I loved every moment of it.

Don’t forget to read the book before you see the movie!

 

Book Review- Geek Girl Series

5 Comments

geek girl 1 This is quite a special book. Pictured on the left is the first book in the stunning GEEK GIRL series!

I had previously seen this book in the library but never actually got round to reading them until my friend recommended them.

Harriet Manners, a socially inept and geeky fifteen-year-old, struggles to fit in at school, especially as she is prey to the school’s bully, Alexa.

It was amazing. Holly Smale blends endless teenage troubles into these stylish and sassy series. I would recommend to anyone who likes heartfelt, enjoyable novels about friendship and family. Enjoy embracing your inner geek!

Series order:

  • Geek Girl
  • Geek Girl- Model Misfit
  • Geek Girl- Picture Perfect
  • Geek Girl- All That Glitters
  • Geek Girl- Head Over Heels
  • Geek Girl- Forever Geek
