Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
5.0
I adored this book from start to finish! Very relatable and well written. I loved the characters and their interactions. I felt the exact same things when I was 17. This book breaks down barriers and goes places that are important without making it seem forced or trivialized. I think this is a must read for any teenager and could see it quickly becoming a classic. It's witty, funny, and heart warming without any of she cheesiness of books that typically fall into that line. Definitely will read again and one that's worth keeping on the shelf!
China Rich Girlfriend by Kevin Kwan
3.0
I am enthralled with this series I love the concept but I found this book to be paced kind of difficultly when action and interest were happening but was fun but there were chapters where I was bored to death. I guess if I sat down and read this book quickly I would have enjoyed it more but the first book was so fun I couldn't put it down this one had trouble keeping my interest. The character are amazing and I adore the cultural footnotes Kwan throws in. I can't wait to start the third installment.
To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han
4.0
Oh my goodness I devoured this book! Very cute and easy, I loved almost every character for one reason or another and I found Lara Jean so relatable, Margot was so easy to picture and Kitty was amazing coming relief without being cheesy. If you've got a free afternoon or are looking for a cute quick read this is the book for you! I can't wait to read more from this series.
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
3.0
This book took me an awful long time to get through. I started it right before the holidays got busy and life got busy and everything besides sitting down and reading became important. I did enjoy it and Celeste Ng has a beautiful way of conveying emotions and human feelings I will say though that because of the prolonged read time I felt like I wanted more from this book. Maybe my expectations were a little too high... if I had read this book in a weeks time I would have been completely fine with it but I guess because I had to space it out and savor each page I want as enchanted as I hoped. Still recommend simply because her writing style is beautiful!
