Me Being Me Is Exactly As Insane As You Being You by Todd Hasak-Lowy: Spoiler Free Review

Hi lovelies! 😚 I just finished this book last night and now I’m writing a review for it! ✍

Rating : ⭐⭐

Summary : Darren hasn't had an easy year. There was his parents’ divorce, which just so happened to come at the same time his older brother Nate left for college and his longtime best friend moved away. And of course there’s the whole not having a girlfriend thing. Then one Thursday morning Darren's dad shows up at his house at 6 a.m. with a glazed chocolate doughnut and a revelation that turns Darren’s world inside out. In full freakout mode, Darren, in a totally un-Darren move, ditches school to go visit Nate. Barely twenty-four hours at Nate’s school makes everything much better or much worse—Darren has no idea. It might somehow be both. All he knows for sure is that in addition to trying to figure out why none of his family members are who they used to be, he’s now obsessed with a strangely amazing girl who showed up out of nowhere but then totally disappeared. 😧

Personal review : You probably saw the rating, so you might already know what’s coming. There are more parts that I didn’t like than parts I actually did like. I’m going to start with the negatives so we can end this on a good note ! 🌹 First, I didn’t like the concept of the lists. I think that might just be me, because writing is lists is an actual thing for writers ! Also, there were a lot of stuff in there that could’ve been avoided. The book is 646 pages long, and could’ve been easily cut to 300 or 400. I don’t really like long books unless they are amazing, so this was a big turn off for me. Third, the plot was just not interesting for me ! I didn’t feel like the story was going somewhere and towards the middle I got bored 😢 Now on to positive ! The author’S writing is great though, I really liked that ! Even though I didn’t like the lists, they did make the book a bit faster to read, to that’s always a great plus ! I also really enjoyed a character named Nate. I thought he was very funny ! Other than that, I didn’t enjoy the book as much as I wanted to ! 😅

What I liked the most about this book : Nate ! Favorite character in there just cause he’s funny, nice and in college. 💖

Other books by Todd Hasak-Lowy that you should read : I haven’t read another of his books so I can’t really recommend one ! 😋

As always, thank you for taking the time to read this ! 🙉

Leah On The Offbeat by Becky Albertalli - Spoiler Free Review

HIIIIIIIIII!!! Okay. I need to talk about this book. I just loved it so much and now Becky Albertalli is one of my favourite authors! Let's talk about Leah On The Offbeat! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Synopsis:  Leah Burke—girl-band drummer, master of deadpan, and Simon Spier’s best friend —takes center stage in this novel of first love and senior-year angst.  When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually on beat—but real life isn’t always so rhythmic. An anomaly in her friend group, she’s the only child of a young, single mom, and her life is decidedly less privileged. She loves to draw but is too self-conscious to show it. And even though her mom knows she’s bisexual, she hasn’t mustered the courage to tell her friends—not even her openly gay BFF, Simon.  So Leah really doesn’t know what to do when her rock-solid friend group starts to fracture in unexpected ways. With prom and college on the horizon, tensions are running high. It’s hard for Leah to strike the right note whil...

Hello lovelies! Here I am with another book review, of course! 🙆 I read another poem novel from the wonderful Rupi Kaur, and I absolutely loved it! Keep reading to read my full opinion❗ Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5  Synopsis:  milk and honey  is a collection of poetry and prose about survival. It is about the experience of violence, abuse, love, loss, and femininity. It is split into four chapters, and each chapter serves a different purpose, deals with a different pain, heals a different heartache.  milk and honey  takes readers through a journey of the most bitter moments in life and finds sweetness in them because there is sweetness everywhere if you are just willing to look. 🐝🍯 Personal review: I freaking loved this so much!

It deals with serious topics, so I would not recommend if you are a very s...

Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills - Spoiler free review

I finished Foolish Hearts during the weekend and now it's time to talk about it! Happy reading. 😋 Rating : 🟃🟃🟃🟃⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 Synopsis :  The day of the last party of the summer, Claudia overhears a conversation she wasn't supposed to. Now on the wrong side of one of the meanest girls in school, Claudia doesn't know what to expect when the two are paired up to write a paper—let alone when they're both forced to try out for the school production of  A Midsummer Night's Dream.  But mandatory participation has its upsides—namely, an unexpected friendship, a boy band obsession, and a guy with the best dimpled smile Claudia's ever seen. As Claudia's world starts to expand, she finds that maybe there are some things worth sticking her neck out for. Personal review : I really enjoyed reading this book!
