'Our Chemical Hearts' by Krystal Sutherland

  'Our Chemical Hearts' front cover 'Our Chemical Hearts' by Krystal Sutherland - Review *There are SOME SLIGHT spoilers in this review!* Description Henry Page, a hopeless romantic and film buff, is smitten as soon as Grace Town walks into his classroom. But Grace - who looks in need of a good bath, is dressed in guy's clothing, and walks with a cane - is unlike any leading lady he's ever obsessed over. And when Henry and Grace are both offered positions as editors of their high school newspaper, the mystery of Grace begins to captivate him.  Why does she visit a graveyard every afternoon? What secret does she keep locked away in her bedroom? Above all, why is Grace Town so deeply sad? Henry is sure that he is the one to unlock her happiness. But Grace is capricious, changeable, infuriating, and, above all, damaged. Henry will need to be the strongest he has ever been to survive this particular love story. Goodreads Rating: 3.80          My Rating: 3....

'The Sun Is Also A Star' by Nicola Yoon

  'The Sun Is Also A Star' front cover 'The Sun Is Also A Star' by Nicola Yoon - Review *There are NO spoilers in this review!* Description: Natasha: I'm a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I'm definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won't be my story. Daniel: I've always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents' high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store - for both of us.  The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true? Goodreads Rating: 4.06          My Rating: ...
