A Court Of Thorns And Roses by Sarah J Maas

"I love you," I said, and stabbed him. 

I'm not going to explain the plot since I'm late to the party anyway, but I will say this: Beauty and the Beast? Check. Badass, funky and incredibly courageous heroine? Check. Lush settings and well-developed world-building? Cheeeeck. Swoon worthy love interest? Double check. Toe-curling, sigh-inducing and heart-breaking romance? Oh, check. Fae, nightmarish creatures and magic? Check check check. I'm telling you, it had everything a good novel should have and then some! It's SJM after all. 

THIS BOOK. Omg, Sarah, what have you done to me? I'm a puddle on the floor. Hands down, one of my favourite books. I adored every last sentence.

Wow. So I expected to at least LIKE this book because it was written by one of my favorite authors... But I never expected to love it. I mean obviously I was hoping it would be awesome, but Sarah J. Maas has already created an incredible series that I'm so in love with, and I can't expect that she would have it in her to create TWO insanely, amazing series. I'm so impressed with her right now... Seriously... Soooo amazing. It's one of those books where now that I've finished it, I just want to go back and start rereading it because I want to stay in this world a little longer I highly, highly recommend this book if you love fantasy.


I was so worried that this book would have a plot too close to
 Throne of Glass and that the characters would also bare that same fate... But thank the literary gods above that didn't happen. Yes, Maas still gives us swoon worthy gents and a strong leading fem, but they are not at all like the cast of ToG. Our leading lass is Feyre, and man oh man did I love her. I loved that though she is strong she isn't doing it for herself or because that's who she is, she's doing to because it's what needs to be done. This is what made her character for me. She does everything for everyone and expects nothing in return. Her character starts as a strong huntress and turns into something more. She has the head strong will of a warrior and the heart of an artist. I loved that Maas gave her so much depth and let us get so deep into her brain that her feelings become your feelings. As for Feyre's love interested she gives us the heart twist-swoon worthy-deep-thoughtful-man candy that is Tamlin. Oh Tamlin will have you weak in the knees and have your loins aflame (seriously blushed so much during this book). He literately has so much weight on his shoulders and still stands tall. He is willing to give up everything to make sure shes okay

A Court of Thorns and Roses exceeded all of my expectations, which is saying a lot considering how ridiculously high they were to begin with. I was actually so happy when I finished this book that I actually hugged it

This could have easily stood it's own as a standalone novel. But I'm excited that it's not because I want more!

Love Letters to the Death by Ava Dellaira


“May, I love you with everything I am. For so long, I just wanted to be like you. But I had to figure out that I am someone too, and now I can carry you, your heart with mine, everywhere I go.” -Ava Dellaira, Love letter to the death

WARNING: This book may cause you to spend a whole day feeling down. 

This is honestly a very hard book to review. It brought out a lot of mixed feelings in me. Reminiscent of Perk Of Being A Wallflower, Love Letters to the Death is too beautiful, too meaningfu, and too heartbreaking to describe with words.  

I fell in love with the idea behind this book before I'd even read it. It is written in the format of letters to dead celebrities, in which the protagonist expresses her thoughts and feelings. It all starts with an assignment for an English class, where Laurel has to write a letter to a dead person. Though she doesn't give them to her teacher, she has a notebook full of letters to dead celebrities about her family, friends and experiences at her new school, as well as her sister May who died young

This is a difficult book to read. And not for any reasons except it was dark and it was sad and some of it felt very lonely. I pictured Laurel sitting in her room or at school writing the letters to famous people who have passed, as she is to scared to share her feelings with the living. It carries such a deep message about family and grief and how it affects you on a whole, and how one eventually overcomes that whilst going through a rough journey. Just beautiful.

Having said that, this book really was touching. I don’t know what it’s like to lose someone but the grief in this book is so profound that I know that I don’t want to know. This book really is powerful.

I would highly recommend Love Letters to the Dead to readers who enjoy Young Adult contemporary/realistic fiction, particularly the more serious kind, and coming of age novels.


By the time I post this review, I will have rewritten it a million times and I still won't be able to convey what I really think about it. Take that to mean what you will.

I Was Here by Gayle Forman

"You had a pile of rocks, and you cleaned them up pretty and made a necklace. Meg got jewels, and she hung herself with them." -Gayle Forman, I Was Here

Well I wasn't expecting to finish this book in one day but HERE WE ARE.
I love Gayle Forman's writing. Her stories are so powerful and interesting to read about. 

Cody is astonished when she discovers her friend Meg has committed suicide. Meg’s parents ask Cody to go to Meg’s school and pack up her thing, which is where Cody discovers Meg held a very different life than the one she told Cody. Due to a weird phrasing in Meg’s suicide note, Cody investigates the circumstances of Meg’s death and discovers she was involved in a chat room where the participants support other users in taking their own lives. Cody becomes obsessed with one user in particular, and thinks they may hold the answers to her friend’s death

 Suicide is a very popular topic in the young adult genre, and normally a topic I stay away from. But when I saw this book with the pretty cover I couldn’t resist.

The plot was very different and unique and it was really interesting, I had to know the ending. The more I read and discovered, the more I wanted to know. It was fast-paced but had so many intense moments. Most of the characters were realistic and I did like Cody. I wasn't too attached to any of the characters. Ben was one of the characters that I felt wasn't realistic at all. All of Cody's other friends were so real and awesome! But at times, I had to stop reading and take a break from the intense situations. 


I had mixed feelings about this book but I learned so much. It was really different and now I know a little bit about those who deal with depression.  This book was really dark and it's not one of those cute contemporary books. 

Basically, I really connected with this book and loved it. I realize this book might not be for everyone, but as I always say about books, you never know until you try.

Some people who reach out for help sometimes reach to the wrong person or place, and it’s important to remember that suicide is not the answer. It gets better, it did for me, it will for you. No matter how you feel, there are people who care about you, whether you know it or not, whether you believe it or not.
