Tilly in Technicolor book review


Why did it take me so long to read this? I loved it and it brought a great reading experience with it.


Tilly in Technicolor is Mazey Edding’s YA debut that follows two neurodivergent teens who are travelling around Europe and fall for each other as doing so. 


I had a great time following Tilly and Oliver across Europe, seeing how they see the world and their relationship develop. These two neurodivergent characters brought me so much joy and I would just keep reading about them for books and books. It was great to see both of these characters grow throughout the story and see who they were at the end of the book compared to the start of the book. 


I also really liked travelling through Europe with these characters and seeing how they struggled with the environments around them, and the descriptions of those moments were really well done and it truly did seem like Mazey knew what she was talking about and understood what it feels like to be in these situations. 


While I didn’t love all the relationships all the way through I did like seeing them develop and see the point they were at by the end of the story and how much the characters had done what they needed to do even if it wasn’t always easy. 


I cannot wait to read more from Mazey Eddings who I have wanted to read for a while and now want to read so much more from. This was an easy 4.75 star read that I really recommend and need to get my hands on a physical copy of.

As Good As Dead short review

Image
  This is the third book in the A Good Girls Guide to Murder series and I was very excited to see what was going to happen and where it was going to go. This book also didn't disappoint, I didn't expect it to take the direction it did and there were some bits that terrified me but I did still rate it 5 stars.  I had so many feelings when reading this, I loved some bits and how the characters have evolved, terrified about what was going on and then heartbroken by parts of the ending. The characters have grown and evolved so much in this series and I love how much they have grown, I also hope they get a break after everything that they've been through.  This book took a dark turn and I can't say I didn't like it. I don't know if it was my favourite when it first happened, but the way it continued on and led to the ending I loved. I also loved how all of Pip's friends stepped up to help even if they didn't completely know what was going on.  That ending too

The Girl in Question book review

Image
  The Girls I’ve Been by Tess Sharpe is a YA thriller that I read a few years back now and really enjoyed, it was fast paced, had me hooked and characters that were easy to root for so when I heard this book was coming I knew I would need to pick it up.  The Girl in Question again follows Nora, Wes and Iris who we know from the bank robbery from the previous book but instead this time after graduating high school they are going on a backpacking trip in the woods when Wes’s new girlfriend gets kidnapped dure to a borrowed flannel. Most of this book takes place over about a week while the characters are in the forest but there are flashbacks to weeks and years previous.  This is a series I would recommending checking out the content warnings for as there are a lot of things discussed and it’s better to be safe.  I really like how this book is written, it’s not something I find in a lot of the books I read but I don’t think the story would work without it. Unlike the previous book we get

The Gossip Games book review

Image
This book took me by major surprise and I am so glad that I chose to read it because boy, was it good. I fell in love with this book, the story, the characters, the romance and nearly everything else that was included in it. The Gossip Games follows Gracie who has recently had rumours about her start-up after Dean, her best friend's brother, carried her up to bed and she’s not best pleased. This starts up a competition of sorts between the two to see who can one up the other in a game of flirting and fake dating. This book is a contemporary young adult romance following characters who are in their later teenage years at a private boarding school. The main characters in The Gossip Games are Gracie and Dean, as well as Zara, Dean’s twin sister and Gracie’s best friend, Jesse and Theo, who are Zara and Dean’s cousins, though there are a couple of other characters who feature regularly. I liked nearly all the cast of characters and if I didn’t originally like a character quite often I
