Some recent books

 I have read quite a number of books recently. However there were few that deserved a five star rating but there were also some books that disappointed me so much I didn't even want to write their reviews. Following  are the few books that made it difficult  to read them as well as review them forvarious reasons.

If you could see the sun


Alice Sun is the only scholarship student of the elite school of Arington.  However financial crisis befalls her family and they can’t afford to keep up with upper class of Arington. Probably due to the stress and anxiety of the misfortune that awaits her, Alice suddenly finds out that she can turn invisible.

The only good thing good thing about this book is Henry Li.  The academic rival with a posh British accent and immaculate fashion sense. IYKYK. Otherwise, I personally think that the protagonist was a wee bit dumb. Also, too many plot holes. Her invisibility powers just stop one day and no one wonders why. I get the metaphor but still. I would question it if I was regularly turning invisible and one day I just stopped for once and all

Just for the summer


Abby Jimanez novel. Essentially the same story but with different font. Two people facing too much  pressure from life, suffering from mental illness, fall in love, make each other better, live happily ever after.

It’s a nice summer read if you want something lighthearted and want to kill some time.

All the bright places

This book reminded me why I stopped reading YA. The story is good. The character portrayal is awesome. The end is so sad that I cried even though I knew what was gonna happen. Violet never moves on from the accident that took her sister’s life. Finch has always been the weird kid nobody talk to. When both encounter each other, an unlikely friendship blooms.

Theres this concept of a Jovian Plutonian gravitational effect mentioned in this book. Needless to say I was  obsessed with astronomy for weeks after reading this. This was the best part of the book. Also if you’re planning to read this, check out the trigger warnings also. There’s a reason they described this book as the fault in our stars meet Eleanor and park.

How to solve your own murder


The titles great. So is the story. The only disappointment? I guessed the killer. Took the fun out of it.

 Frances Adams is at an English country fair with her two best friends.  when a fortune-teller makes a bone-chilling prediction about Frances’ murder, Frances spends a lifetime trying to solve a crime that hasn’t happened yet. For decades, no one takes Frances seriously, until nearly sixty years later, when Frances is found murdered, like she always said she would be.
 
In the present day, Annie Adams has been summoned the estate of her wealthy great-aunt Frances. But by the time Annie arrives in the English village of Castle Knoll, Frances is already dead. Annie is determined to catch the killer, but it seems every endearing and eccentric villager might just have a motive for her murder. Can Annie safely unravel the dark mystery at the heart of Castle Knoll, or will dredging up the past throw her into the path of a killer?

Betting on you

Classic lynn painter. Light hearted story. Two teenagers. Opposites attracts. Less romance more adventure. Too many taylor Swift references. (don’t get me wrong, I loved them).
