You by Caroline Kepnes
3.0
Read this as a buddy read with a friend and was a bit torn on if I enjoyed it or not! The writing clearly made me feel, so a job well done there. I felt the language made me feel uncomfortable at times but again I guess that was part of forming the character. I was somewhat disappointed with how it ended. I think there were parts throughout that we’re rushed or that could have had more depth to them.
Mixed feelings.

I felt very nostalgic reading this book and loved the madness, poems and the illustrations throughout.
The Bed I Made by Lucie Whitehouse
4.0
I liked this book because it was realistic, this does happen to people and people like Richard do exist!
I really enjoyed the writing style and descriptions, I was hooked from the beginning.
I wasn’t expecting the ending... not sure if I’m pleased with it or not!

Worth Dying For by Lee Child

3.5⭐️
This is the second Jack Reacher novel I’ve read and I enjoyed it! I loved how one small act lead to uncovering so much! Some very clever elements and twists I certainly didn’t see coming!
I did feel the story probably could have been condensed to under 500 pages without missing too much!
Overall I would recommend!

I haven’t read this since I was a child and it’s still just as good! A very easy, quick read based on a very strong story line! I enjoyed the writing style and I found it very captivating!
Would definitely recommend this read, if you haven’t already!

The Good Liar by Nicholas Searle
2.0
I did not enjoy this book. The main part of the story was completely lost for me in the serious of flash backs. I didn’t feel connected to Roy and I wasn’t particularly interested. The ending could have had something but I felt it was very anticlimactic!
I found myself skim reading and losing focus throughout!
Maybe I’ll re-read in a few years and have a different opinion but this time round I was disappointed.

One Hundred Names by Cecelia Ahern
5.0
I was interested in this book from the first chapter and loved learning about all the characters! Cecelia’s writing style was easy to read and captivating.
I loved how it all developed and came together.
The ending was more than I could have hoped for.
Would definitely recommend!

Always the Bridesmaid by Lindsey Kelk

I loved every last thing about this book. The layout, writing style, characters, different storylines, and humour!
Thai is the first book I’ve read by Lindsey Kelk and I cannot wait to read all the others I have now!

The Girl Before by JP Delaney
4.0
I really enjoyed this book. The way it was written jumping for the past to the present kept me hooked. Was supposed to read it over 4 days as part of a buddy read and we read it in 2 instead!
Slightly disappointed with the slightly open ending but I can deal with that as the rest was SO good!
There were twists and turns I didn’t see coming and really good character development all the way through!
