Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott, Mikki Daughtry, Tobias Iaconis

Rating: 5.0 / 5.0

A beautiful read. 

This story follows friendships and suffering, love and agony as well as the cruelty of a disease. The main aim of this book is to create awareness towards the cystic fibrosis (CF) disease. CF is an inherited disorder found in children that causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system and other organs of the body.

This book was everything I was expecting it to be and more. It is exceptionally well written and the story flows perfectly. The writing is articulate, chatty and vivid. I found myself re-reading sentences and paragraphs - you know that feeling when you read a line that is so well written that you just need to take a minute to appreciate it.

I loved everything about each and every character. The conversational repartee is top notch. The writers knew precisely when to give a little more and exactly when to hold back. I have no negative comments - I would not change a thing. Five Feet Apart is practically perfect and yet imperfect in it’s own way.

Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer

Rating: 3.8 / 5.0 Brief Overview Being a fan of the Twilight Saga during my teenage years, I jumped at the chance to get my copy of Midnight Sun. The iconic "Twilight" is written from the perspective of a human girl (Bella Swan) who falls in love with a vampire (Edward Cullen). This outlook is maintained throughout the entire Twilight Series. Midnight Sun however finally provides readers with a different vantage point as narrated from Edward's slant. Stephenie Meyer's writing style remains unchanged. Quick side note: I hold Meyer's book dedication in high regard - it is the perfect welcome back after the 15 year gap since Twilight was first published. The same regard can be said for her acknowledgements. Review The plot remains unchanged as the entire book focuses solely on the events that took place within the first book itself (Twilight). The storyline has also been written in the exact same chronological order as Twilight, hence, there is barely any room for su...

Bridgerton: The Duke & I by Julia Quinn

Rating: 3.8 / 5.0 Just like everyone else last Christmas, I binged watched Bridgerton on Netflix! That said, I had to get my hands on a copy of this book. This is also the first time I am reading a full blown romance novel.  “In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince – while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable. . .but not too amiable.” As with any romance novel I presume, the plot was rather predictable. That said, the foundation of this book is built on the love and unbreakable bond of the Bridgerton Family. Julia Quinn took her time to equip each of the Bridgertons with strong personalities and traits. That, I believe, is why every reader will immediately fall in love with this family.  This first book in the series, centers ...
