Jellicoe Road

By Melina Marchetta

Oh, this is a hard book to review and I know that I won’t make it justice so I won’t even try that much. One word: awesome! Why? Because it is so complex and beautiful, and the characters are amazing and smart and funny, and the drama is not overwhelming (oh, well… it is, but in a good way), and…

Ex-mas

By Kate Brian

I must confess that I have a thing for this ‘road-trip’ type of stories, and given the fact that this book is all about romance and Christmas it’s even better. The characters were nice and likable, even with their flaws, and I enjoyed all the trouble they got into, waiting patiently for Lila and Beau to find their…

Winter Longing

By Tricia Mills

“A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.” I love the cover and I loved the book itself. This was such an emotional story. The beginning was light and somehow funny, introducing the characters which I found really enjoyable , then it was just heart breaking to see how death can change…

Anna and the French Kiss

Book #1 in Anna and the French Kiss Series

By Stephanie Perkins

‘Oh heavens’… this book was hilarious!! I loved reading it (twice) and I would read it again simply because it is too cute for words! It reminded me of myself in high school, and it really felt natural, real.. I can’t even tell you what an amazing pleasure reading this book was. And it’s so, so funny, my face…

Before I Die

By Jenny Downham

“I want to die in my own way. It’s my illness, my death, my choice.This is what saying yes means.” I don’t really know what to say about this book. I didn’t like it that much, but I didn’t hate it either.. The bad: For the most part of the story I didn’t really care about Tessa, about her illness…

Awakened

Book #1 in The Guardian Legacy Series

By Ednah Walters

From time to time I find a book that I really-really like, with some characters that I really-really love, and this is one of those. As I said, books with ‘almost naked teenagers’ on the cover are not my type at all, but now I am glad that I didn’t mind that when I’ve decided to read this…

Mockingjay

Book #3 in The Hunger Games Series

By Suzanne Collins

NOTE: This review contains some spoilers, if you haven’t read the book yet, you might not want to click on them. I should divide it in two: the first 2 parts and the last one because I really loved the first 2 parts, but I don’t know about the last one. Even though some people didn’t like Katniss’s…

Catching fire

Book #2 in The Hunger Games Series

By Suzanne Collins

The second book in “The Hunger Games” trilogy had even more action than the first one. It started a bit slow with all the boys drama, and at one point I was really annoyed by Katniss’s atitude because she didn’t know what she wanted and kept hurting people, but after a while the games were back and…

The Hunger Games

Book #1 in The Hunger Games Series

By Suzanne Collins

One of the best books i’ve read. Great job Suzanne Collins! When you love and hate something in a book with ALL your heart you realize how great that book really is, because it has to be really special for you to get to feel all these mixed feelings and still say that it deserves not only 5 stars, but…

The Ghost and the Goth

Book #1 in The Ghost and the Goth Series

By Stacy Kade

I don’t know what to say about this book because I don’t really know if I liked it or not that much. The cover was great and this is the main reason I decided to give this book a try, and the characters were nice and entertaining (they had a voice of their own that i really got to enjoy…

The Body Finder

Book #1 in The Body Finder Series

By Kimberly Derting

Isn’t Jay the perfect boyfriend ever? 😀 I just LOVED the romance in this book. It felt real for once, you get know why Vi loved Jay – and it was not just a silly crush over his messy hair, or deep eyes or any other thing like that – and you get to love him too for being such…

Cracked Up to Be

By Courtney Summers

“How does it feel to know that even at my worst, you’re still not good enough?” The beginning was so, so great and funny, and all. I was so happy to choose this book because it felt perfect for me.. but I don’t know why my interest got lost by the middle of the story, and by the end I…

The DUFF

By Kody Keplinger

This was such a nice book! It was a fun read since the very begining. I loved the brief discusion between Bianca and Wesley, it was fun and entertaining. Also I loved the way both characters changed (so slowly) through the story – they started by hating each other (or at least Bianca says she did), then…

Unwind

Book #1 in Unwind Dystology Series

By Neal Shusterman

Unwind has been my first dystopian story (if I remember well). To be honest, I could go back and underrate so many books I’ve read over the past years, because after re-reading this one I know for sure: there is no place for them on the same shelf as ‘Unwind’. It totally blew my mind – then and now.

Nevermore

Book #1 in Nevermore Series

By Kelly Creagh

Even though I am not usually into this kind of paranormal stories, and the goth things are not my type either, Nevermore had something really special that kept me reading from the first page to the last one (and wanting for more). The story seems simple in the beginning...

Ruined Series

Ruined

By Simone Elkeles

1. ‘How to Ruin a Summer Vacation‘ When I started reading this series I didn’t know the 2nd and 3rd were continuing the story form the 1st book (I just assumed this after reading PC series). So I was just enjoying this sweet love story, with lots of funny moments and at the end of the first book…

Return to Paradise

Book #2 in Leaving Paradise Series

By Simone Elkeles

Sweet, fun, entertaining.. I’m glad I read it! After reading “Leaving paradise” I was so disappointed that I didn’t really want to read the sequel. The first book started so damn good but it was just ok by the middle (except some good parts), and then it ended in such a hurry – I understand why, but i still don’t…

Love at First Click

By Elizabeth Chandler

I didn’t have time to write much about this book after reading it, but today it just popped into my mind and I had to get done with it. So.. I have this rule (I’m not a ‘rule person’ but this is really important, believe me) don’t try to steal your best friend’s boyfriend (or your sister’s in this case)…

If I Stay

Book #1 in If I Stay Series

By Gayle Forman

I’ve had a rocky relationship with this book. The truth is that I loved to pieces the concept  behind it and even now, years after, when I think about it I get all teary-eyed. I wonder what would keep me alive, what/whom would call for me from this life I have, what are those things I wouldn’t be able to…

Rules of Attraction

Book #2 in Perfect Chemistry Series

By Simone Elkeles

Sometimes I wish I would have started by reading this book before “Perfect chemistry” because I am sure I would have liked this one a lot better.. and indeed this book is great. I must confess that I fell in love with “Perfect Chemistry” and now it’s so damn hard not to compare them, but I’ll give it a try.

Perfect Chemistry

Book #1 in Perfect Chemistry Series

By Simone Elkeles

I loved it!It’s hard to rate a book that you love a lot, that made you laugh until your cheeks hurt, that made you feel like a teenager again, giggling like a fool at every scene between the 2 main characters, wishing for the next installment to come really quick.. and this book did all this very well.

Two-Way Street

By Lauren Barnholdt

I love it when I find a book that surprises me as much as “Two-way Street”. It’s one of those books that you can’t let go until you finish reading it, and then you want to read it all over again...

The Host

The Host

By Stephenie Meyer

"You never know how much time you'll have." I give this book 5 stars because is just such an amazing book. I really, really love it! At first sight it looks like it's a book about aliens, but in reality is a book about human kind, and it's questioning how much humanity remains in us all.
