Best Book You’ve Read Yet in 2019:
The Bride Test by Helen Hoang (Review)
After reading Helens debut novel The Kiss Quotient last year and completely falling in love with the story I’ve been highly anticipating her next release. When we found out that it’s going to be set in the same world as TKQ but following different characters I was so excited!
Someone We Know by Shari Lapena (Review)
This is my third Shari Lapena book, after The Couple Next Door & An Unwanted Guest. both of which I adored, so I was highly anticipating her next release.
Let me tell you, this book didn’t disappoint. Something I’ve come to realise with Lapena is that she’s a master in writing incredibly twisty multiple POV stories.
Someone We Know is a suspenseful, thought-provoking, Mystery Thriller. Featuring a cast of highly developed and well thought out characters.
This book has one underlying message – how well do we really know our neighbours?
Clean by Juno Dawson – Non spoiler review
Release date: April 5th 2018
Rating: 5/5 stars.
Amazon description: When socialite Lexi Volkov almost overdoses, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom.
She’s wrong. Rock bottom is when she’s forced into an exclusive rehab facility.
From there, the only way is up for Lexi and her fellow inmates, including the mysterious Brady.
As she faces her demons, Lexi realises love is the most powerful drug of all …
It’s a dirty business getting clean.
Addiction and redemption, love and despair. Clean will have you hooked from the first page.

The Girl Before by JP Delaney REVIEW | Hiatus over
Hi everyone. My first post back after a bigger than expected hiatus from my blog…but something I felt like I needed. I felt unhappy with my content and how I was organizing my reviewing. But now I’m back, hopefully for good!
Today I’m going to be talking about The Girl Before by JP Delaney and the turning point which lead to me getting more into the thriller genre.
This is one of those books that I’d seen on display in various bookshops for quite some time. So a couple of months back I decided to pick it up on a whim. Previous to this I’d only read maybe 5 thrillers? I’m someone who gets scared quite easily, so based off that in the past I think I’d just written off thrillers as a genre that maybe wasn’t for me. But maybe it’s about finding that perfect sub-genre, where it doesn’t get too full on ‘scary’…
Enter the world of One Folgate Street and discover perfection . . . but can you pay the price?
Jane stumbles on the rental opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to live in a beautiful ultra-minimalist house designed by an enigmatic architect, on condition she abides by a long list of exacting rules. After moving in, she discovers that a previous tenant, Emma, met a mysterious death there – and starts to wonder if her own story will be a re-run of the girl before
As twist after twist catches the reader off guard, Emma’s past and Jane’s present become inexorably entwined in this tense, page-turning portrayal of psychological obsession.
GAVE: 4/5 stars
BACK SOON!

Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli Review
My review & thoughts on Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli (contains minor spoilers from Simon vs)
Description:
When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually on beat– but real life isn’t always so rhythmic. The only child of a single mum, and her life is less privileged than her friends.
Her mum knows she’s bisexual, but Leah hasn’t mustered the courage to tell her friends. Not even her openly gay BFF, Simon. Prom and college are on the horizon, and tensions are running high. Can Leah still strike the right note, when the people she loves are fighting? And how can she cope knowing that she might love one of her friends more than she ever intended?
