This book will pull on all your heartstrings in the best way possible. Colleen Hoover tackles lots
of hardships in this novel, such as fixing family relationships, grief, and making amends with the
past. This book hooks you from the very beginning, and it has lots of complex parts to the plot
that keep you wanting more. I read this book in one day, and I think that mostly speaks for itself.
Another Colleen Hoover book that you should add to your want-to-read list.

The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon is about a brief encounter between Natasha, a Jamaican
immigrant trying to save her family from being deported, and Daniel, a Korean immigrant who is
forced into studying medicine by his parents. These two characters spend only about 24 hours
together, but the story narrating their adventures together is truly remarkable. This book is about
family, love, identity, and morality, and it was written so well that I couldn't put it down. It has

This book hit me right in the heart and made me shed some tears along the way. This book is
extremely well written and develops the friendship trio between the three main characters Dill,
Lydia, and Travis in the best way possible. It intertwines your emotions with each one of the
characters, and it portrays a very accurate picture of high schoolers navigating through their life
and preparing for what comes next after they graduate. It shows the journey of finding your

Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven is a sweet story about two characters who have their
own personal struggles and over the course of the book they come together to accept their
differences and form an amazing bond. This book deals with important issues such as
self-confidence, and it will definitely make you smile by the end. I only gave it 3 stars because it
was a little bit more difficult for me to stay interested than with other novels, but overall it's a
really good read.

They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera is a style of writing that I've never seen before.
Initially, I thought that the title giving away the ending would make it difficult to stay interested in
the plot. But, I was proven very wrong. This book takes you through a roller coaster of emotions
as it jumps through lots of action and adventure with the main characters. The whole time you're
reading it feels like there's a ticking clock counting down until the end, and as you get closer the

This book was a very well-written mystery because it kept you interested and eager for what
was to come but it didn't cause too much suspense or anxiety which I liked. I loved how it
showed the growth in the relationship between Hannah and Bailey alongside the mystery of
Owen's disappearance; it kept a key emotional feeling attached to the more spontaneous action
of the main plot. Overall this book is super fun and exciting to read and I would recommend it to
anyone and everyone.
