ok I know I always say this after reading a book but please- BEST BOOK EVER.

one of us is lying is a murder mystery book (something im really into these days) revolving around the sudden and unexpected death of simon kelleher. a geek, bronwyn, a jock, cooper, a criminal, nate and a prom queen, addy were present when Simon died, all of them are suspects but who is the one that did it? who is lying?

just by reading the summary I got goosebumps. I really loved the book because of the plot twists and the cliffhangers, my literal thoughts while reading this book were- 'yes, this is why im reading this at 4 am in the morning and probably gonna pulling an all nighter because I can't put it down, oh no, I hope no ones behind me im scared, oops, phones battery is going to die. guess using a flashlight wasn't the best option.'

anyway, one of things I most liked about this book is the character development. especially of the prom queen, addy and the famous jock, cooper. their stories are kind of similar yet different. in the end they are both their own person and that's what matters. 

bronwyn and nate are the main protagonists before addy and cooper and I literally adore them. their characters are so well written like I cant even-

I just realised, this doesn't even feel like a book review, just me fangirling over this perfect book. oh well.

I don't even think its required for me to say that I recommend this book because it'll be like stating the obvious. 

go right now to Amazon or the nearest book shop and read this book now. im watching you. 


goodbye and farewell my fellow readers.

make today your best.

we were liars - book review

-
Image
"we are liars. we are beautiful and privileged. we are cracked and broken." this book is the most beautiful tragedy I have ever read in my life so far. every single moment of the book is depicted in such a perfect way that it's left me speechless.  the protagonist, cadence sinclair goes on family vacations every year. It sounds really fun and pleasant, right? WRONG. this is because during summer 15, she severely injures her head which gives her amnesia and she cannot remember that whole summer. cady knows it's something important, something happened that summer but she cannot seem to remember anything. slowly and gradually, her memories do seem to come back and we readers, kind of journey with her through the mystery of what had happened. no one would actually tell her anything about it, so cady has to figure it out on her own.  this takes place 2 years later, summer 17, where she reunites with her liars. Gat, Mirren and Johnny. none of them where there for cady after...

two can keep a secret- book review

Image
" it's pretty reckless going out at three am in the moring. unless there's no reason for you to be afraid. unless you're the one who people should be afraid of. " third murder mystery in less than a month and every book by Karen M. McManus makes my jaw drop. this book was so not what I expected it to be. well, it's not like it ever is.  Ellery and her twin brother Eli have never been to Echo Ridge High. it was where their aunt went missing at the age of sixteen and never returned and five years ago a homecoming queen, Lacey, was murdered.  it's almost certain that the person who killed Sarah (the aunt) could have killed Lacey too. looks like the small town has secrets to hide. I don't want to give too much away but this novel has a bit of action too. thriller and action? they make a scary pair when you don't know what's coming.  I love this book because it has a ton of unexpected and interesting plot twists. (not gonna lie, I saw some of them ...

divergent - book review

-
Image
 "becoming fearless isn't the point. that's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free of it." Divergent is so motivating and intimidating, after reading it i believed to be capable of jumping off of a moving train.  this is the first book in the trilogy. (divergent, insurgent, allegiant).  The protagonist, Beatrice (Tris) Prior is a girl from the Abnegation faction. There are five factions in total- Abnegation (for selfishness), Dauntless (for bravery), Amity (for kindness), Erudite (for cleverness) and Candor (for honesty) All the people are divided into different factions according to how they are supposed to behave and to maintain peace. It is a broken community, with everyone tore into 5 separate communities.  When you come of age, which is sixteen years, you are supposed to chose a faction for yourself.  You have a choice of remaining with your family in the faction you were born in or you can switch to another one.  but h...

one of us is next - book review

"we're like the kardashians, except any money" final thoughts after reading this book? oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, no, no, no, this CANNOT be happening. one of us is next is the sequel to the book one of us is lying (check out my book review before this) this book focuses on three main protagonists- Maeve (Bronwyn Rojas, the protagonist of 'one of us is lying's' sister), Phoebe Lawton and Knox Myers. I have to be honest, this book was really addicting right until the middle where I had this smart thought- 'oh, this book is so easy to predict, the person doing all this is obviously *censored*' (read the book to find out) and boy was I wrong. SO SO WRONG. someone has started playing a game of Truth or Dare. But this is no ordinary Truth or Dare. This game is lethal. Choosing the truth may reveal your darkest secrets, accepting the dare could be dangerous, even deadly but what other choice do they have?  always choose the dare this is what the summar...

the sun is also a star - book review

-
Image
 "we tell ourselves there are reasons for things that happen, but we're just telling ourselves stories." it took me a whole of ten minutes to pick the perfect starting quote. I still haven't, you know? BECAUSE ALL OF THEM ARE PERFECT. literally every single word in this book is magical and worth reading. yes, it's that good. first of all, this whole book is set in a timespan of a single. day. (p.s.- this book cannot get anymore interesting) Natasha is a type of girl who believes in science and facts. not fate. not destiny. she is definitely not the type of girl who meets a guy on a New York City street that would change her life. not when her family is 12 hours away from being deported to Jamaica.  Daniel has always been a good son, with parents' high expectations. never the poet. or the dreamer. but when he see's her, everything changes. the universe has brought them both to this single moment. a million futures lies before them. but which one would com...

percy jackson and the last olympian - book review

-
Image
 "I didn't want things to stay the same for eternity because I knew things would always get better" Percy Jackson and the last olympian is the final and fifth book in the Percy Jackson series. One word describes this book. Amazing.  This particular book is the reason I got into reading. It is so good and I absolutely recommend you all to read the complete series. If you like it, you can move on to Heroes of Olympus (the next series) This conclusion to the saga revolves around Percy Jackson, the son of Poseidon, as he leads his friends in a last stand to protect Mount Olympus and the rest of the world from Kronos and his army of titans and monsters. This book is full of unpredictable plot twists and sudden cliffhangers which never makes you want to put the book down. The bond of the characters and their trust for each other is endless and I find it extremely wholesome.  ~ Tiny Spoiler Ahead ~ For example, Annabeth takes a dagger for Percy in her shoulder bec...

clockwork princess - book review

-
Image
"life is a book, and there are a thousand pages I have yet to read." this book. oh my gosh this book.  I have no words. this book broke me into pieces and left me crying for the day. clockwork princess is the third and final book of 'the infernal devices'. it is set in the during the 1800 century and follows the perspective of the main protagonist Tessa gray.  this book is written so beautifully by the author, Cassandra Clare, that it would leave you in a puddle of tears.  the epilogue though. that's where you would have had enough. it is literally the most agonising and painful experience reading that. anyway, I don't want to scare you by going into the depths of how emotional this book is.  let me introduce you to the main protagonists of this book series. he would give you the happiness and joyfulness you don't deserve. he is so bold and caring, like the knight in shining armour. he is hope that is not lost. he is will herondale. his smile is like the s...

turtles all the way down - book review

-
Image
 "The thing about a spiral is, if you follow it inward, it never actually ends. It keeps tightening, infinitely" This novel is about a troubled 16 year old girl named Aza holmes, She struggles with anxiety and OCD, which often brings up her constant fear of obtaining the disease, C. diff. Through her journey, her loved ones try their best to support her and help her get better but it just worsens and worsens. She is just a young woman navigating daily existence within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts. This book is one of the best I have ever read because I love how the author John Green shares Aza's story with a shattering, unflinching clarity. Aza believes she is not a real person, and this is how she explains it- “I don't control my thoughts, So they are not mine, I don't decide if I'm sweating or getting anxiety or C diff or whatever, so my body isn't really mine. I don't decide any of that- outside forces do. They control my actions. ...

playlist for the dead - book review

  " People are going to say a lot of things. And some of it will be helpful, and some of it will be annoying, and lots of it will get on your nerves. But they're saying it because they found it helpful when they lost someone. They mean well."   if someone asked me to describe this book in one word, I couldn't,  Playlist for the Dead  by Michelle Falkoff is about a boy named Sam. His best and only, friend Hayden has just committed suicide, and all he has left, as a suicide note, is a  playlist , with 27  songs  on it. As he tries to decipher the  playlist  he learns more and more about Hayden's life, and the people in it. the concept and idea of the story is really amazing and the plot of the story is very well written too.  its just that (don't attack me) the ending kind of failed to impress me.  as I read through the book, it kind of got predictable for me and how the characters would play part in Hayden's death...
