Amy & Roger's Epic Detour

              Amy & Roger's Epic detour by                    Morgan Matson


Amy Curry is not looking forward to her summer. Her mother decided to move across the country and now it's Amy's responsibility to get their car from California to Connecticut. The only problem is, since her father died in a car accident, she isn't ready to get behind the wheel. Enter Roger. An old family friend, he also has to make the cross-country trip - and has plenty of baggage of his own. The road home may be unfamiliar - especially with their friendship venturing into uncharted territory - but together, Amy and Roger will figure out how to map their way. 


This book is so fun, I want to go on a road trip across America and visit all the places they've visited. It's a beautiful summery book (I've been reading those a lot lately). Amy goes through a lot of things in this book and tbh I was expecting that whatever have happened to her is more twisted than what actually happened, I'm not saying that what happened to her isn't awful or miserable but I've read too much Colleen Hoover to know that there are worse things that can happen to you, but honestly I enjoyed the book so much. I love the graphical pages in it and I love roger. He's just the cutest, they meet up with many characters that you can't help but admire or feel connected to.
This books remind me of the edge of never but a teenaged version of it. Overall I'd definitely recommended this book to anybody who wants a fun book to read with a message behind it.

Angelfall


                 Angelfall by Susan Ee


It's been six weeks since the angels of the apocalypse destroyed the world as we know it. Only pockets of humanity remain. 
Savage street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night. 
When angels fly away with a helpless girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back...


Angelfall by Susan EE, vampires zombies and angels we have read plenty of books about those, so what would make this book so special? First of all I've heard and read and frankly even watched plenty of things talking about zombie apocalypse but angel apocalypse? That's something new, The thing about this book is how realistic it is, i'm not talking about 100% real but it's the first book I've read about angels and thought that it really does seem real. The storyline is new and creative and I've absolutely loved it, The characters are beyond perfect you can't help it but fall in love with them, even the ones that comes out in few sentences, The writing was so good and detailed (not in a boring way) but in the "I can close my eyes and imagine all of this" way. I genuinely couldn't put it down unless I was forced to  because it's was so exciting and I can't wait to get the second book I just ordered it today and hopefully I'll get it really soon because maaaaaan the ending of the first book .. 

Rating : it's definitely a 5/5 🌟's book and you can't argue about that 


The Winner's Curse

     The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski
 

 Jude and her twin brother, Noah, are incredibly close. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude cliff-dives and wears red-red lipstick and does the talking for both of them. But three years later, Jude and Noah are barely speaking. Something has happened to wreck the twins in different and dramatic ways . . . until Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy, as well as someone else—an even more unpredictable new force in her life. The early years are Noah's story to tell. The later years are Jude's. What the twins don't realize is that they each have only half the story, and if they could just find their way back to one another, they’d have a chance to remake their world.

 This book gives you a large amount of feelings that you can't define, you're so torn in between things (just like the main character is) I loved it.
The love story in this book is so genuine like it's just so pure and heartwarming, the main character is strong, notpsychically but mentally which is new because most of the novels I've read is about the girl being psychically strong (not in a manly way though) she always start revolutions and follows her heart even if it means losing the ones she love (I bet you're wondering what kind of books I'm reading lol) but in this book you learn to sacrifice. The choices she had to choose were so hard! Betraying people is not easy especially if they're wearing their heart on their sleeves. I feel like krestyl is one of the strongest female characters ever, she kept on going and pushing herself even when she didn't want to, it's very admirable, but the ending was so frustrating like I'm dying to read the second book!

I'll Give You The Sun

     I'll give you the sun by jandy Nelson

Here's a little intro : Jude and her twin brother, Noah, are incredibly close. At thirteen, isolated Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude cliff-dives and wears red-red lipstick and does the talking for both of them. But three years later, Jude and Noah are barely speaking. Something has happened to wreck the twins in different and dramatic ways . . . until Jude meets a cocky, broken, beautiful boy, as well as someone else—an even more unpredictable new force in her life. The early years are Noah's story to tell. The later years are Jude's. What the twins don't realize is that they each have only half the story, and if they could just find their way back to one another, they’d have a chance to remake their world.




 At the beginning of this book I was confused and I kept on thinking about how overrated this book is. I sure as hell shouldn't have judged it that fast, I fell in love with this book, I fell in love with the characters and I fell in love with all the emotions I felt throughout the whole book, even sadness became a beautiful thing while reading this book. I can't even count out all the characters I loved because basically I fell in love with all of them (expect the hornets and the surfers). You can feel Noah's passion for drawing and it's so real that it makes you want to draw. I love how it's about family because you don't see that much in books now a days (well unless you're reading Disney's Frozen storybooks) I really am speechless. This book is so good that I feel like it drilled a hole in my heart, I want a relationship just like the one between Guillermo and "oscars" because it's beyond touching and cute, it feels so real. Actually everything about this book feels so real and perfect and I love it. The whole craving and drawing thing was amazing, like you don't know how much I want to be an artist, I want to draw, crave and take artistic pictures, there's so much passion in this book that it takes you off-guard most of the time.
