Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella [Spoiler Free Review]

I had read a few books by the #1 New York Times Best Selling Author of the Shopaholic Series, Sophie Kinsella, which I absolutely loved, so when I first heard about her very first YA novel I had to read it!

The book for me was quite short but witty  yet adorable at the same time. Basically, Finding Audrey is about a girl suffering from social anxiety and has an older brother who is obsessed with video games. When Audrey meets her brother’s friend, Linus, things start to change for her. The book focuses on Audrey’s life coping with psychological recovery and her relationship with her family.

The main theme of the book, from what I depicted, was not about teenage love or anything but the chemistry between Audrey and Linus made me swoon at various times. Kinsella's written work has always been incredible the way she makes her characters so relatable and her composition truly sweet and light. At the same time, the humour in her books is just about perfect. At so many moments in this book I could not contain my laugh and just burst out laughing.

For me, this book seemed a little similar to Girl Against the Universe by Paula Stokes, which I equally enjoyed, but if you’re looking for a more light-hearted, humorous, silly, read, this is definitely the book for you!

Girl Against The Universe by Paula Stokes (Review)

It is the best thing to read about when authors write about psychological issues what teenagers go through. And how it is so difficult for the people around you to depict what you're experiencing as an adolescent. This is what Girl against the Universe by Paula Stokes is all about. It's about a girl Maguire who is suffering from PTSD due to some tragedies she had confronted as a kid. Now as she has grown older, her mom made her go to a therapist as she thinks Maguire spends too much time in her room. There she meets a boy, Jordy, who helps her traverse it all.

This book was not just cheesy or chick-lit book;  it truly places one into marvel how a person endures or fights with themselves everyday. It was a beautiful book in my opinion and somewhat sad as well, but the cute teenage romance made it just as sweet. Com one who doesn't love a light, sweet, teenage love? The chemistry between the two main characters was impeccable and just right. I really enjoyed this book and it should significantly get more attention.This was the first book I read by Paula Stokes and will be definitely reading more from her in the future!

The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern

My, my, my! What an extraordinary book. It had me completely engrossed into it from the very first page. The Night Circus is basically a fantasy novel about two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been tested to win on the premise of their skills and aptitudes. They both join a circus where they are intended to flaunt their abilities. It's a story of how along the way they find love, friendship and responsibilities.

Now, I must say that the plot line was fairly frail but the whole point of the story was delivered amazingly. Morgenstern's composition style was not at all like I had ever perused before and this book was incredibly interesting as well as unique. She sucks you into a universe of enchantment and miracle with her words and that was precisely how I felt while reading it. The protagonist, Celia, was my favourite characters throughout the book. The way Morgenstern kept in touch with her to be an image of quality, strength, love and friendship.

The main downside was the back and forth between timelines. The future, past and then the present time sections were slightly frustrating. That was the only reason The Night Circus lost a 0.5 star from me, and I gave it a 4.5/5 stars.

Besides all of that, the cover was absolutely dazzling as well. It is a mix of adventure, fantasy, dreams, magic, suspense, love, romance, anticipation, friendship and all that great stuff. So hey, what more does one reader want from a book?

I would totally recommend everyone to read this book and if you're interested you could buy a copy from here: https://www.amazon.com/Night-Circus-Erin-Morgenstern/dp/0307744434

To be honest, I have never really read any science fiction books before. But this book by Jennifer M. Eaton, Fire in the Woods, is remarkable and the writing is just phenomenal.

Its basically about a girl, Jess, who lives in an army based compound because her dad's a major. She loves photography so one day chasing a deer, she wants to capture a picture of, she runs into a boy who is literally the guy of her dreams. He is precisely like the perfect guy she had made up in her mind. Jess finds out that his name is David and he is not even from planet Earth in the first place.

Who he really is? Where is he from? Why's he on Earth? These are the questions that may run in your mind.

Oh my God, this book just had me captivated since the first page!
Jennifer M Eaton's writing is beautiful and while i was reading, I could play a movie in my head. The chemistry between the main characters is incredible. Her writing is simple but captivating and makes your imagination run wild.
"His gaze seemed to search through me, and the foggy feeling deepened. I relaxed, taking in his strong round cheeks and delicate jawline. I must have won the lottery or something…stuck in the middle of the woods with a guy who—come to think of it—looked a lot like Jared Linden." So you can just get a hint on how good looking David is!

Besides all that, one of my favourite part in the book is where she writes:
 "Ugh, when did my life become fodder for a cheap science fiction novel? I could see the teenage girls flittering about it already: super-cute alien, stupider-than-thou heroine and a bigger than life story with no chance of a happy ending."
Ironic isn't it?

I am not going to mention anything else or I'll end up adding spoilers.

The whole book is from Jess's point of view and I gave it a 4.5/5 stars on goodreads, because it was just that amazing!
Jennifer M. Eaton's writing can really pull you into the book and make you feel like you're a part of her story. As crazy as it sounds, that's exactly how I felt while reading it.
If you're into science fiction, aliens, suspense, thrill, romance, this is definitely the book for you!

Eleanor & Park

Title: Eleanor & Park
Author: Rainbow Rowell
Genre: Young-adult fiction
Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15745753-eleanor-park
Link: http://www.amazon.com/Eleanor-Park-Rainbow-Rowell/dp/1250012570

For quite a while there was a gigantic buildup about Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. I, at last chose to give that a read after the greater part of my companions prescribed it to me. What's more, to be completely forthright, I was passed up by this book. From the first page, Rowell's composition had me dazzled and I couldn't put the put it down till I read it up to the last page.

 It's around a guy and girl, in their high school year with various identities and their pursuit to locate their internal identity or a quest for who they truly are.

This book made me wail toward the end and each word, each page made me feel a wide range of emotions.
This is an unquestionable requirement read for each young person. 

"She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't meant to look nice. It was supposed to make you feel something."
Isn't that line wonderful and doesnt that simply give you goosebumps?

 Rowell depicted the character of Eleanor and Park so perfectly that I truly have no words to portray it. 

I am not exactly beyond any doubt how most perusers would see her written work however to me it was certainly a flawless book.
What's more, I unquestionably yearn for a sequel of it now.
