Ten Thousand Skies Above You by Claudia Gray
2.0
Well, I guess this book isn't bad, It just couldn't keep me entertained enough to finish the entire story. This book kinda got me into a reading slump, which means it wasn't really my cup of tea.
I did like the first book and I still think it's a very unique idea, but the second book couldn't really do it for me.
Maybe, some day, I will try to finish this and give it another chance, but for now I'm going to leave it for what it is.

The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon

3,75/5 stars
This book was a very cute and quick read, I really liked the short chapters from different perspectives.
I especially liked the chapters from the people around Daniel en Natasha (Irene, Mr. Fitzgerald...)
It was a nice way to include something extra in this book.
The story of Daniel and Natasha was very cute and unique, it's extraordinary to have such a strong bond within 24 hours. But that's also kind of the reason why this didn't get a 4,5/5 star rating.
It's kind of insta-love, and I get that it's the purpose of this book, but I sometimes just couldn't understand how Daniel could have been so crazy about Natasha after only seeing her for one hour.
But besides that, I really enjoyed the story and sometimes I had to stop myself from crying.
This was a very nice read and I would definitely recommend this.

I started reading this book without any expectations and I didn't really think I would like it much. But this book really surprised me and I liked it way more than I thought I would.
This book handles some hard topics in a very good way and I think it was very beautifully written. I was pleasantly surprised by the diversity of this book also.
Ozzie, the main character, was very selfish and that kind of bugged me sometimes, but I also think he was very funny at times. I really liked Lua and I think Calvin was so adorable and cute oh my god 😻
I'm still kind of debating whether I liked the ending or not and if I really got it but besides that this book really surprised me and I'm very glad I read it.
