Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction by David Sheff
3.0
This is very painful and hard to read but with a beautiful story about a parent's battle of not giving up with their child's drug addiction. This book made me feel as if I'm also experiencing the experiences that they had in their family and for me that's a great thing when it comes to non-fiction books. However, I was not a fan of this writing style. The constant references of quotes from movies and songs were kind of info dumpy that my brain can't quite process. But, I still appreciated the studies and the researches that are included in this book which made me learn a lot of things.
Sadie by Courtney Summers

This book is so sad and dark. I picked this up thinking that this is another mystery thriller book but its actually more focused on the main character's love for her sister. This didn't quite work for me because I've expected different things from it. However, I still think that this is a good book. The writing style is beautifully written and the idea of telling the story from the perspective of the main character and a podcast is very unique. The audiobook is also phenomenal and its highly recommended. My only issue from this book is the ambiguous ending, but its just a personal preference. Overall, I still enjoyed it but I'm not blown away by the story.
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

I've been reading this for so long and I finally finished it! This is a very fun and an action packed read! It definitely had me on the edge of my seat. I happened to be confused at first but when I was a few chapters in, I started to understand what the hell is actually going on and I was constantly surprised with the happenings in this book. I totally love the author's writing style. The pacing is just so perfect and I love the characters so much. They're all these bad-ass teenagers but with their own distinct personalities which made them so amazing. To be honest, I was quite hesitant to even start reading this, but I'm glad that I did! And you best bet that I will totally pick up the second book right away!
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
4.0
This one is a very compelling read. It kept me very intrigued from the start until the end. The writing style and the pacing is what I liked the most. And the twist? I didn't see that coming, but for me, I think that it wasn't THAT shocking, because there were so many parts in the book that made it so obvious. But still, its a pretty solid read.

Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas

I didn't expect anything from this book but BITCH I am in shock right now. The story kind of reminded me of Death Note by Tsugumi Ohba, which is my all time favorite anime, so its no surprise why I liked it more from what I was expecting. I don't really have any reason on why I only gave this 4 stars but I based it on the level of my enjoyment, I guess. Still, this is a pretty solid book.
