Alice

a bit cliche at times but nevertheless did inspire hope in me on the infinite variations of different lives i could live in this lifetime

- recommended to me by jaelynn

- first book i read by marie lu

- perfectly fast paced which I LOVED surprisingly. it got the good parts in without stalling for 10 chapters yet it wasn’t too fast at the same time

- plot was pretty good also! like discovering the conspiracy about the plague, day’s score on the test, mateo’s true murderer, etc.

- had me reading through to 1 am lol

- june and day are both adorable

- apparently it is set in the same universe as warcross though warcross is present day and legend is set in the future

the betrayals were interesting as well as the sisters being foils for each other. don't really agree with the ending though, and the characters did not really seem to redeem themselves in the end. overall, i liked diana reid's first book more.

a high school classic i never got to read in high school - so i decided to pick it up now. such a gripping read, it made me remember how much i love dystopian books. ending was perfect. knowing winston would eventually get caught made it all the more dreadful. amazing world building. loved it.

winter read

upon first read it was meh but after analysing it in english class i grew a more fond appreciation for the book's themes. i also liked that pi's story is up to the reader's interpretation

i just remember this being a short, solid read for bus rides

i still think of meursault and his strange, strange choices today

very depressing and weird and creepy but i understand that was the point

did not get the hype when i read this... maybe i need to watch the show?

too much science for me unfortunately, it became a lil hard to get through at times and i just wanted to get to the end after 200 pages in

bought this with a rangi book voucher cus the cover was pretty. i think this would make a good movie. slow at times but the ultimate reveal justified it. loved the snowy atmosphere, great for the wintertime

was so good and gave me a lot of perspective on the racism faced by black communities, from the pov of someone my age

i actually loved this book cus i did not see the twist coming lol

such a unique and interesting premise. the plot twist was amazing

ehhhh i've just read better romcoms

i just remember forcing myself to get through this. maybe i should watch the movie

taylor jenkins reid went 2 for 2. a riveting read. loved the twist as well.

just what the actual flip was this nonsense... what was even the message behind this book dawg

was good but didn't love it as much as the previous reid books i read!

i loved this book. i thought the ‘dialogue only' style would be corny but was actually super fun to read. the themes of loyalty, the era of music it was in, the perfect pacing, and camilla made this book a 5 star read.
