There's Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins
3.0
This is what happens when a romantic book writer writes a murder (gore) book, you end up with a 236 pages long book in which 36 pages talk about the murder and the remaining 200 pages are just dumb make out sessions.
I love thriller books, but I didn't quite liked this one. I think that this book would suit those people who love reading romantic books and just wanna try out a light thriller book.
Other than this, the plot was kinda fine, the reason for murder was not that good, and the protagonist seems way too selfish.
Conclusion: This was fine, but if you love thriller books, like the silent patient or Agatha Christie, you'll hate this. Romantic book lovers, this may suit you!

WOW!
My Mum bought this book for and I don't usually read books like this, but I am so glad my Mum bought this book, I made me cry, made me furious, made me smile like an idiot, made me glad.
The book follows the story of Fereiba, a school teacher in Kabul, Afghanistan and her journey with her 3 children across the continent to reach England after the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan.
“Afghanistan is a land of widows and widowers, orphans and the missing. Missing a right leg, a left hand, a child, or a mother. Everyone was missing something, as if a black hole had opened in the center of the country, sucking in bits and pieces of everyone into its hard belly. Somewhere under our khaki earth is everything we’ve ever lost.” —Fereiba Waziri
As I sit comfortably in my safe home, my heart breaks for Mothers in the world who want better lives and opportunities for their children, and are willing to do anything for the chance. That road is unbelievably hard, and scary. Living on the streets with no food, no medicine, cold, afraid, and not knowing who to trust, is one I cannot imagine.
Hope is found however, and the kindness of strangers, aid them in their journey.
