Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
5.0
Heartbreaking, devastating, beautifully written story. I was not familiar with the event in which the book took place. This should be a classic.

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, Thomas Wright

My first ‘real’ classic book that didn’t bore me to death. Captivating storytelling, a masterpiece.

The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose
3.0
Quick read, cheap twist, silly plot holes. Enjoyable read if you don’t think about it. Pretty unlikeable characters.
And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini
4.0
Khaled Hosseini will always be one of my favourite authors. This book pales in comparison with his masterpieces The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns. It’s frustrating but failed to deliver the heart wrenching effect the other two books did. It’s still an enjoyable read as Hosseini is brilliant with words and there was never a boring moment, it just fell a bit flat.
Without Merit by Colleen Hoover
1.0
Couldn’t get past page 10. The plot doesn’t make sense and is cringeworthy as hell. Nothing new.
Anxious People by Fredrik Backman
5.0
Nothing like I’ve read before. Brilliant storytelling. I suggest listening to this book, it’s one of those books that are better as audiobooks!
Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover
2.0
All the gratuitous sex scenes are pure shite as always, however I give an extra star for beautiful writing. Weird, unlikeable pushover main character. Terrible storyline.
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
5.0
I really enjoyed this book, good storyline, hit all the feels, a quick read for me. First read from Celeste Ng and I enjoyed her storytelling. Looking forward to more from her!
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
5.0
I found this hard to get into in the beginning but once I read a few more chapters I couldn’t stop. Masterful storytelling, I was left heartbroken at the end. Off to my next Anthony Doerr book soon!
