Always and Forever, Lara Jean

Stars 4/5
Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han

This is the final book in the trilogy and I really enjoyed this series. Three sisters coming of age, friendships, love, finding their way, planning their futures and dealing with the separation. I have to say that I did find a couple things that I didn't care very much for in this book. I started seeing a change in Margot in the second book that I really didn't like and it spilled over into this book. I found her character changing from a loving, caring sister to a rude, immature young adult. I also grew a bit tired of hearing everyone in the book, including adults, making comments of how "hot" Lara Jean's boyfriend was... even her dad? That was a bit much for me. I would recommend this series.

The Blue Day Book

Stars 4/5
The Blue Day Book by Bradley Trevor Greive

This is a short inspirational picture book with text. Very cute pictures of animals and it does bring a smile to your face. This was given to me by my Mom and it definitely found a place on my bookcase. I would recommend it to everyone who likes animals and needs a little "pick me up".

The Girl in 6E

Stars 4/5
The Girl in 6E by A.R. Torre

A cyber sex girl that has barricaded herself inside an apartment for years because she is really a killer. The book was entertaining and even though it was around 350 pages, it read quick because the story kept you on the edge of your seat. Very sexual and unique in story line. I did find a few things a little unrealistic but I enjoyed the book and am really anxious to read the rest of the books in this series. I would recommend this to everyone who loves lots of sex, sexual references, fetishes, gore and murder.

The Upside of Unrequited

Stars 5/5
The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli

I just love Becky Albertalli's writing style. It is so much fun and easy to read. Time just flies by as you are engulfed inside the story. This is a book about twin sisters coming of age, making life altering decisions, finding themselves and yet staying close with each other as they find their different paths. I have to be honest in saying I loved Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda a little more but I really loved this book as well. Recommend this for everyone.

Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli

Oh what a most wonderfully awesome book! I just loved this coming of age, finding love, juggling friendships, overcoming hurtful people, bullying, family support and the "smiling all throughout the book" book. This story brought in many elements of diversity which I love and I will definitely be recommending this to everyone.

P.S. I Still Love You

Stars 5/5
P. S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han

I really enjoyed the second book in this trilogy. It continues on with Lara Jean and her boy crushes. I must say that I believe I liked this book even more than the first. I am excited to see how the story continues in the next book but will be sad to see it end. I would like to know more about what happens with Josh. I did miss him in this book. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.

To All The Boys I've Loved Before

Stars 5/5
To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

A beautiful contemporary story about sisters coming of age, falling in love, family and heartbreak. I just loved this book and can not wait to read the next two in the trilogy. The story leaves you on a huge cliffhanger so be prepared to grab up the second book. I would recommend this to everyone.
