4.0
The book was completely different from the TV series but anyhow I still enjoyed reading it and I am very much looking forward to read the second book in the book series :)
Paper Towns by John Green
5.0
“The town was paper, but the memories were not.”
This was quite a slow read because it took me like 3/4 days to finish it but I really love the book. The characters are so amazing and this book has quite plenty of good sense of humor in it and I truly enjoyed this book but not as much as The Fault in Our Stars. But, it has such a good story line and characters so it definitely deserves a 5 out of 5 stars from me.
My favorite character out of this book would certainly be Margo Roth Spiegelman because of her fiery and mysterious character. Not like deadly mysterious kind of mysterious but this is like, i'm-very-hard-to-get-to-know-with kind of mysterious. Well, in my point of view obviously. She's quite a bright kiddo when she moved to Q's neighborhood. She's quite a sweet character as well and I just love everything about her.
I'm pretty excited for the movie adaptation, really! It looks as good as the book is and the casts are perfect... Cara really did a good job in playing the role Margo in the movie. The character suits her well. And I love how 'scavenger-hunt-like' this story are because I love these kind of stories. I really do think it's a brilliant story!
John Green is such a good writer... Oh! I am glad for his existence.

Heidi by Johanna Spyri
4.0
I have been suggested by my mum to read Heidi for it is one of her most favorite classics back when she was in high school. I have been into classics for a while now and Heidi was a pretty interesting classic children book to be read. I don't really read children books sometimes but this book was incredibly written. I love everything about it though I am a bit confused by Aunt Dete and Fraulein Rottenmeier's character.
“Heidi speaks to us with the voice of love and we shouldn't tire of listening to her. Heidi seems to be loved as a child of nature, a symbol for romanticism and lost innocence. Johanna Spyri wants to empower people to accept new challenges while keeping a good heart like Heidi, who is able to read stories to Peter's blind grandmother and even moves her unsociable grandfather to return into the village community.
Story of Heidi tries to give orientation in a world shaken by rapid social change, a world in disorder that makes people feel insecure and this is exactly what makes the story attractive today in view of neoliberalism and globalization.”

Every Last Word by Tamara Ireland Stone

I haven't been here for a while hence the lateness of this review.
But anyway, this book is amazing.
I've been looking for some books that focuses on the real issues of mental health and I stumbled across an amazing channel on YouTube, her name is Emma and this book was recommended in one of her mental illness book recommendation video. It sounded interesting so I decided to get it and read it. It's definitely worth it. I read it in one sitting, it was just that good, I found myself relating to Samantha a lot when reading it. It's just hard to feel that way for me when reading. So it's definitely good book if I could relate to it in some certain perspective.
I love Sam a lot because she is basically a fictional depiction of me. I relate to her and her story a lot and I know how hard it is trying to fit in. I know how hard it is to open up to someone about your problems especially mental health issues. It's quite tough.
I also love AJ and the Poet's Corner members because they're so cool and they invite you in with open arms. I adore AJ, I think he's really adorable. No one really takes time to know who he is. He's such a cool character. I'm glad him and Sam got together in the end because they're so cute through out the half-end.

Spoiler
Sam suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder but she's more to obsessive than compulsive and she has been trying to keep it a secret for ages especially from her friends. In some way I can relate to that because I've been suffering from Social Anxiety Disorder myself and I've always been trying to keep it all to myself and not tell anyone because first of all, I'm afraid people think of me like I'm a freak because I suffer from disorders that they might or might not even have. That's what I'm afraid of. My friends are just like Sam's friends, popular, "it" girls basically. So when I say this book is relatable, it is high scale relatable ;)I love Sam a lot because she is basically a fictional depiction of me. I relate to her and her story a lot and I know how hard it is trying to fit in. I know how hard it is to open up to someone about your problems especially mental health issues. It's quite tough.

Every Last Word is such a moving and inspiring book, the plot itself is amazing. It teaches us that our mental illnesses don't define us, and that we're strong and we can get through it someday. No matter how slow the process is. Highly recommended!

Amazing book. Never been into self-help books but since I'm starting to include reading some of these books into my recovery process, it truly helps. Love it a lot.
