Are We All Lemmings and Snowflakes short review

I love a good Holly Bourne book and this one didn't disappoint. It was really interesting and had me thinking about things in a way I hadn't before, which is always a good thing and something I can count on Holly Bourne for. I don't think this is my favourite Holly Bourne book but there were some pages that mean a lot to me and made me feel seen in ways I hadn't felt seen before.

There were a lot of interesting things discussed in this book and it really did make me think and I think what Dr Jones says to Olive at the end of the book is what I agree with most. A book getting you to think is always a good thing especially when it covers a topic like this one. Holly Bourne's writing and the way she tackles topics is one of the things I like most about her books and the way she writes everything to be so true and encompass exactly how her characters and people in that situation feel.

The characters in this were all fully fleshed and I love how they grew to support eachother and how close they were by the end of the book. I do wonder what happened to them all by after the book ended and they left Camp Reset.

Overall a very enjoyable book that got me thinking and I recommend. Not my favourite Holly Bourne, that's definitely The Yearbook but I know people who it is the favourite of and I did still really love it.

The Match book review

Back in April I was recommended my first Sarah Adams book and really enjoyed it however it wasn’t my favourite type of romance book so when I saw this one had been rereleased and was 99p on Kindle I knew that I needed to read it. The Match follows Evie who works for a company that trains service dogs to help people with all sorts of disabilities after her life was changed when she got a service dog to help with her epilepsy and when she meets Jacob when trying to convince him how much a service dog would help his daughter she begins to fall for him and his small family. This was such a light brilliant romance that I just wanted to read and continue to be immersed in the story for as long as I could. I loved all of our major characters particularly Evie, Jacob and Sam (Jacob's daughter). Sam just added the best things to the story and the romance going on between Evie and Jacob. She was also a brilliant character on her own that you really felt for and you just underst...

Daughter of the Pirate King book review

I was expecting to enjoy this book but nowhere near as much as I did and I really wished I could have given it five stars but it was just slightly off of the mark. Daughter of the Pirate King is the first book in a duology which follows Alosa who is the well-trained seventeen year old pirate daughter of the Pirate King himself, on a mission to find part of an ancient secret map on an enemy pirates ship. This is possibly the first pirate fantasy I’ve ever read, but I loved it and need to read more because there were so many fantastic elements in it that I want to read more. I also now want to read all of Tricia Levenseller’s backlist because of how stunning this book was and I want to see more of it continued in her other books, also the UK covers are absolutely stunning and I really want to own them all! There were twists in this book I was not expecting, characters I fell in love with and moments that made me really laugh. Alosa knew what she wanted and how to ...

The Eternal Ones book review

I may be posting this a month after I promised I would on my bookstagram but better late than never. If you want to see more of my immediate thoughts on this conclusion to a series I have been reading for years my booksta post is here . The Eternal Ones is the final book in the YA fantasy Deathless series by Namina Forna which follows Deka as she discovers more about the world and who she is. We follow on quickly after The Merciless Ones ended with no major plot points happening in between. As with the previous two books, there are many content warnings that come with the story, it doesn’t have any new strong ones so if you have read and been fine with the previous two you should be fine but if you are new to the series then I would recommend checking them out. Throughout the books we continue to follow Deka’s POV which works really well for the story as we discover so much and being in Deka’s head means we are kept in the know nd see how things and discoveries unrav...
