Review: What to Say Next

By on
What to Say Next by Julie Buxbaum
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“We are all strangers to each other in the end.”

I read this book a while ago and just decided to write a review since this book has remained stuck in my brain for so long. Firstly, you should know that Buxbaum's books are sometimes simply emotional. There is no getting away with it. Exploring the foundation of love when everything else in life is wrong is her specialty. Like her other book, 'Tell me Three Things', this book also starts with death. As the plot progresses, we learn about the characters themselves: Kit and David. David has Asperger's syndrome, and he is a physics nerd. His quirky scientific thoughts are just amazing. It is obvious that he would have a hard time making friends, though, due to the anxiety that comes with his situation. However, one day, Kit just sits on his table with him for lunch, and everything just changes.

Overall, it was an emotional, but quick read. I would definitely recommend the novel to everyone for I think that this novel is the best in Buxbaum collection...

Review: The Beholder

By on
The Beholder by Anna Bright My rating: 4 of 5 stars Thank you HaperTeen for providing me with an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review. The Beholder is an equal mix of politics and romance intertwingled together just right. As I began the book, I questioned myself what this book would intel since the beginning seems so simplistic. It starts with the dilemma leading Selah to go around the continent to find the one. The plot is set based on so many fairy tales. I thought that it would be something cliche, but I loved the surprise that I got. Overall, I enjoyed the book. I wonder what other books in the series will bring. I had never imagined that The Beholder was a ship, to be honest. The shock that I got at the end was predictable to some extent, however, the degree of it surprised me. I would recommend this book to some who like the mix of fairy tale, romance, and historical fiction. It is comparable to The Selection, but not quite making it a un

Review: Evermore

Evermore by Sara Holland My rating: 3 of 5 stars Thanks to HarperTeen for providing me with an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review. 3&1/2 star Oh boy. This book was a very fast read. I personally enjoyed this book, but it was somewhat boring. Plus, I thought that the plot was a little bit rushed creating holes. What I really mean is that I love the whole concept of the Alchemist and the Sorceress. It is definitely unique. As such, I feel as though Holland did not do justice to the book by ending everything so soon. There are books that end sooner than they should while others are stretched beyond purpose. This series is the former kind is all I am saying. In essence, I was satisfied with the ending. The writing quality is good as well. I would recommend this book to some who are just looking for a quick read. View all my reviews

Six of Crows

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo My rating: 5 of 5 stars “When everyone knows you’re a monster, you needn’t waste time doing every monstrous thing.” ― Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows The book was amazing from the very beginning. It was quite eye-captivating. Well, when I started reading the first chapter, I was like whats going on here. Still, I kept reading. Surprisingly, the first chapter was just filled with minor chapters. It was just supposed to create a way for the rest of the novel. Also, I was not sure about multiple perspectives. However, each of the six characters is really important. There are stories within stories. When I say that, what I really mean is that they have their past and future. The gest is about how these two threads affect their present. There is also an issue about money. Greed can make people do stupid things. Each of this characters is going through certain things. Despite their various falling, they seem to stick together like glue, almost like family
