    This was recommended to me by a friend, and even though I don’t normally go for romances I decided to give it a go. Honestly, it wasn’t much better than I expected, but it was quite fun. I don’t think I’d read the rest of the series, purely because I’m not a fan of the genre. It could have been more interesting, and it definitely felt very slow paced, but I think the story was entertaining towards the end which made up for the drag at the start.

    Wow. I am struggling to find words for this book. The only thing I can really think of is how helpful this has already been, and I haven’t even begun to implement the advice into my life yet. I would recommend this to anyone looking to improve their life, or who just wants to know how to be happy. ❤️

    “The truth is that, either way, you’re going to be judged, whether you live life on your own terms or on other people’s.” Never has a quote resonated with me more ❤️

    Honestly, I wasn’t expecting this book to help me much. I’d attempted to read similar books before, and nothing ever changed, but recently I’ve been trying to improve my life, so I thought I’d give it a try. The first few chapters made me a bit worried about the rest of the book, but when I got further into it, I realised how helpful it could be. Because of this book, I have taken steps to improve my life already, such as communicating with my friends, cutting out toxic people and learning to accept myself. I’m looking forward to the next part of this book.

    I don’t normally go for murder mysteries, but this book was amazing! The characters were unique, the story was engaging and the plot twists!!!! I spent the whole time reading it trying to figure out who the killer was, and I could not crack it until it was revealed. This was a great read, and I would recommend it to so many people. Also, loved the British representation 😀 you don’t see many books set in the UK anymore, so it was a nice surprise ❤️

    I have literally only just started this, but it’s shaping up to be a very original story, and I’m looking forward to it!! 😀

    I read this for school, so I knew going into it that it wouldn’t be my usual kind of book, but I was fully unprepared for it. A Clockwork Orange is 100% the most convoluted, messed up and confusing book I have ever read. That said, it was a great storyline and expressed its point very well. I would recommend it to people who like books with the same vibe as The Handmaid’s Tale, but be prepared…

    This is by far one of the most confusing books I have ever read, but it is also one of the few that has made me cry genuine tears. I didn’t think I would get so attached to the story, but the ending proved me wrong.
