Yesterday I Was the Moon by Noor Unnahar

emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

2.75

Poetry has not been my cup of tea and this book was my introduction. Here's few things that I noted. The poems were generally focussed towards the poetess's emotional struggles which were discrebed throughout the book. The problem is that some poems were generally not very distunguishable and feel a bit repeated. 

The themes across the book are very scattered continuity is often abruptly broken. 

But in positive side i really enjoyed few poems that had really strong messages where poetess actually gets vulnerable and tells how she wants to stand in world. Few pieces where she mentions about how this foreign language hinders her from properly expressing her which would be better in her mother toungue. I really enjoyed those parts.

Really enjoyed reading cultural and linguistic notes also. I felt those should have been discussed a bit more.

Overall it was fine. Again not really into poetry but it was a bittersweet experience

After by Anna Todd

2.25

This was a pretty decent novel but the further parts made it pretty trash.. Anna todd tries her best to show maturity but the novel lacks maturity at end and I mean i may not be in any position to criticize it but it is just a personal point of view.. The novel has some decent characters that are relatable but ironically all of these character turn out to be very unrelatable thus killing the main aura surrounding the book. The romance on other hand is very good.. And the companion ship in coming parts was really good. Although still it is only worth reading when you have nothing else to do

After We Collided by Anna Todd

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

5.0

This is one of the best sci-fi novels i have read. The author correctly used all the ideas from real life physics and that too considerable amount of character development and pretty unique story concept.
The drama/adventure with quantum loops is one of the most engraving ideas I have ever read. The theme is based on the idea of existence of choices and parallel universes. This book is a must go for anyone who loves complex story patterns and adventure.
