The Young Elites by Marie Lu

5⭐️

This book BLEW MY MIND! It pulled with the strings of my heart to the point where I was crying so hard, I couldn't breath. These characters were incredible and so well written and had so many sides to themselves I couldn't keep up! And Marie has made a world where it's going so fast that you are running to keep up. This world was filled with twists and turns and just so many things! 

Adelina: You need to get into control. Stop being so angry at everyone! They do it for their and their peers safety. Just focus on where they are coming from rather then what they are actually telling you. 

Raffael: WOW NICE JOB NOW SHE WILL DESTROY EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING NICE JOB BRO *slow clapping*

Enzo: I miss you already. I miss you so much. And I wish that you could be with Adelina. She needs you right now more than ever. 

Marie Lu's writing style is so incredible and filled with every little detail. She adds depth and perspective and this absolute insane - ness to the story that I loved! This is definitely my favorite read of the year and I'm so happy to read more of her work. 

Fire in the Woods by Jennifer M Eaton

Shut up I love this little alien man ok😂💕

I loved this book. Every time I turned the page, a new twist and new surprise was waiting for me. I just loved how quirky and fun and sweet and real Jess was. And David was so sensitive and adorable and I just loved them. This world that Jennifer has created is filled with wonderful surprises and great characters that you fall in love with *snaps fingers* like that.

Jess: I love how true you are. You are not cocky, you are sarcastic. You have the courage to cry and not be all like "oh I'm sad" ok let's kick ass. You say "yes I'm sad let me take a minute" and those are real moments that would happen to real people. I applaud how true you are and I love you.

David: You are so cute and funny and sarcastic and tough, but only when you want to be. I loved your character and your love for Jess.

Dad: You gotta loosen up. Jess knows more than you about them.

I loved the way Jen wrote. She was real and true and hopeful and surprising and I just had so much fun with this book. She has created a world that you just get shocked on every page. 5 stars.

Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver

Don't judge, I thought this was funny😂😂😂

-

I liked this book way more than I expected! I was a bit iffy about this but I'm so happy I read it! I loved the characters. And I loved how Lauren wrote this. I laughed I cried and overall had an amazing time with this book.

Nick: You are so protective and so loving and I'm so excited I got to follow your story! I wish I could comfort you and help but too bad you're fictional😂😭

Dara: You are so amazing and you don't even know it. You should have been more cautious. I still have no idea how you waved tho! I'm confused about that.

Parker: I love how you confessed to nick. That was so sweet. I loved your character and how you were so loving. You were so understanding and I just loved your character. 

And Lauren's style is so rich and I can't believe I have never read her writing before. The only thing I really didn't like this book was that I was confused at times. I don't know if I read a bit fast or it was just the writing (not criticizing I still love it) but I was confused about some thing's but I can't say or I will spoil the book. But over all I really liked this book! 4 stars. 

An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

(MY FACE IS SUPPOSED TO BE CUT OFF BTW😂😂😂)I liked this book. But not as much as I was expecting which was a bit disappointing. I did really like it though. I really liked the characters and the world and the plot and it was all really well put together! 

Laia: You are so strong and so much like your mother. You are beautiful and kind and selfless and incredible. But be cautious, not stupid.

Elias: I love you. You are so sweet and so caring and you are so unique. I can't believe you survived all of that and I'm so proud!

Commandant: Go screw yourself. 

I really liked the world, though I don't think a lot of it was explained so I really wish we had some more of that. But we did get quite a bit and I enjoyed that. All the characters went through incredible development and that I was so in love with. The thing that really peeved me about this book was that for the first 150 pages or so, it was incredibly slow for me. 4.5 stars and a 93% rating! I overall enjoyed it but there are some thing Sabaa could work on. Nice job! 

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

Oh wow I loved this book! It would have been a perfect stand alone but HOLY CRAP THERES MORE! And I'm so excited to dive in to the next books! I loved the characters were perfect and the world was so cool and unique and I loved it.

Alina: You are so strong and so loving but OMG YOU CAN KICK SOME BUTT! I love you and I loved going on this ride with you.

Mal: First let me state the fact that we will be getting married tomorrow.. I'm kidding but I loved you and when we got to spend time with you, that was when I was having most fun! Your sweet and loving and I can't even...

The Darkling: I love you but hate you! Wow. You are so cool and so evil and yet so amazing! I wish I would have loved you more BUT THATS NOT MY FAULT! You know I still want you to go screw yourself...

Leigh has created this wonderful world that I couldn't help but love. Her writing style was so neat and unique and so precise! I loved it. I have been doing this a lot lately but that's because there are so many amazing books out there, 5 Stars. 

The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Braken

Yay! Finally! Gosh, I loved this book! Alex has made a wonderful world flu of kick ass characters and a heart breaking world.
Liam: Marry me. You are so sweet and so kind but with a dark side. When you care about something you do anything to protect it and I love that!
Ruby: YOU ARE SO EFFING COOL! She is so funny and kind and kick ass! WOWIE!
Chubs: You have to loosen up a bit. But holy crap I love you. I hope you are ok.

"When I write I hold nothing back." This book was outstanding. The writing style was beautiful and deep and descriptive and so relatable it made me think she was writing about me. The characters were funny and cute and smart and witty and perfect and relatable. And I was hooked from the first page. Ever since I heard the description for this book, I have been wanting it. And I read it. And I loved it.
