HERE’S MY REVIEW!
It is finally the last book of the series. After three series, 15 books and hundreds of characters, we finally reach the end of an era. I was sad to start reading it because it means this is the last time we’re meeting Apollo, Meg and the crew.
I read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series in 2016 and I never look back. I continued to crave for more content to read. Luckily, there was the Heroes of Olympus series. I found that the series also lived up to my expectation. After finishing it, I craved for even more. That was when I started reading The Trials of Apollo in 2018. At first I thought, oh Apollo is so funny and kinda a douche. But after reading more, I found him to be endearing and affectionate. I’m gonna save my appreciation for you later, Apollo.
Even though the series and books are formulaic, Rick Riordan always have something new in his sleeve and tries to make the readers intrigued and interested as he possibly could. My favorite moments are always about Apollo and Meg’s relationship as they tried to solve problems and protect each other. Apollo’s commentary and narration always made me smile and laugh even though he was facing dangerous threats from the villains and when everything else was in shambles. That’s how loveable he is.
The most noticeable thing about The Trials of Apollo is about Apollo’s character development. In the first book, he started as a selfish, arrogant and self-centered god who doesn’t care to the peasants, which all changed when he was cast down to become a mortal. After witnessing everything humans face, he changed himself to the better. He is longer the cocky god but he is an affectionate person with much more empathy in himself now. It is always contradicting and funny that he is the servant to this tough and harsh Meg McCaffrey because their personalities are totally the opposite. It’s understandable Meg is built to be tough because of the abused she received from his stepfather, Nero. Apollo learned a lot during his months of becoming mortal and it is uplifting to see how he becomes a much more down to earth god.
I appreciate Percy and Annabeth’s page time in this book because I have missed them so much since reading the first series. I was kinda disappointed that they didn’t have much page time but I understood that they have moved on with their lives as demigods and they would have want to start a new life together.
I am not sure there is going to be a new series or not in the same universe, but I feel like this is a perfect closure to all of the characters. I don’t want to this series to end up being like Harry Potter because look at what Harry Potter and the Cursed Child accomplished. Also, I am so excited to watch the new TV series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians soon.
Goodbye Apollo. It has been a great journey.

HERE’S MY REVIEW!
This is my first time reading David Yoon’s book. So, at first I was genuinely intrigued to read it because of David Yoon’s success on Frankly in Love. Apparently, critics has been naming him the new John Green.
The plot seems intriguing as it is explained that the main character, Sunny Dae formed a fake rock band with his nerd friends to impress the new girl in school, Cirrus. The book doesn’t run from the “nerd bullied by jocks” trope and to be honest, it is tiresome to read about this trope all over again in so many YA contemporary books I read. Can’t authors create other kinds of tropes that exist in high school? I just want to read refreshing and enlightening new stories about young adults.
Apart from the plot, there is an important message about being yourself. In the book, Sunny changed his facade just to fit into Cirrus’ expectation. I am not sure faking yourself to impress someone is either improving or damaging but in this book’s context, it has done both good and bad to Sunny. In the positive side, it makes Sunny braver and more open to challenges like overcoming his stage fright and performing music with his friends. His social interactions in school has improved when he started the band. He also mended his relationship with his rock star brother. However, once Cirrus found out that all of it was a hoax, she stopped seeing Sunny. His life fell apart when his friends also dumped him after the incident.
It is certain that Sunny faked himself just to fit into the social norms. He is tired of being treated badly by his friends and wanted a new start. It is actually sad when you think about it. Sometimes I wish YA books can write about nerds or losers overcoming their obstacles and inner demons without changing any part of themselves. An authentic person is not fearless, but is willing to feel their fear.
The progression of the book was slow at places as I really pushed myself to finish this. My complaint was there were a lot of nerdy conversations between the main characters that I didn’t completely understand. I don’t know either I was too old to understand it but I am young enough to know that normal nerds in school don’t talk like them.
All in all, Super Fake Love Song manifests that you will truly happy and content when you are truthful to yourself.

HERE’S MY REVIEW!
I am always a fan of murder and mystery so I was excited to be sent a copy of The Magpie Society. I have never read anything from Zoe Sugg and Amy McCulloch before so I was kinda interested in reading their book.
I was always curious to read books written by two authors because it is not always easy to align thoughts and narration in a story. At a first glance, I assumed that each of the authors wrote each character. For instance, Audrey was written by Zoe and Ivy was written by Amy. It was only after halfway reading the book that I read at Zoe’s Instagram saying that two characters were written by Zoe and Amy respectively. It was a great decision as they got to maintain the tone of story without making it too obvious that it was written by two completely different people. I can say that the author dynamic work well in this book.
Overall, I kinda enjoyed reading stories about high school drama. Illumen Hall truly reminded me of Hogwarts because of it’s locality which was located in England and the school system such as dormitory, house sport, weather and uniform. Anyone who reads Harry Potter will definitely scan the resemblance in the book. I assumed that the authors took inspirations from the series.
The book also touched on serious issues like anxiety, bullying, and mental health. I’m interested to see them delve into more serious issues in the next book.
I was honestly expecting more revelations to be revealed at the end of the book. However, the ending was disappointing. It ended abruptly with no intense cliffhanger like other great thrillers. It also felt rushed and unsatisfying that it gives the author a reason to continue writing a sequel. I would totally prefer if the book is a standalone rather than a series.
All in all, I would definitely read the second book and see how the story progresses.

I love you . . . but what if I can’t love your life?
Ava is sick of online dating. She’s always trusted her own instincts over an algorithm, anyway, and she wants a break from it all. So when she signs up to a semi-silent, anonymous writing retreat in glorious Italy, love is the last thing on her mind.
Until she meets a handsome stranger. . . All she knows is that he’s funny, he’s kind and – she soon learns – he’s great in bed. He’s equally smitten, and after a whirlwind, intoxicating affair, they pledge their love without even knowing each other’s real names.
But when they return home, reality hits. They’re both driven mad by each other’s weird quirks and annoying habits, from his eccentric, naked-sauna-loving family to her terribly behaved, shirt-shredding dog. As disaster follows disaster, it seems that while they love each other, they just can’t love each other’s lives. Can they overcome their differences to find one life, together?

HERE’S MY REVIEW
This is my second time reading Sophie Kinsella’s book and I couldn’t deny that I was excited to read this one. My first book by her was I Owe You One and I loved it.
Love Your Life is a quirky and funny rom-com novel which her main character, Ava meets her love of her life, Matt at a writing retreat in Italy. They are not supposed to reveal their life to each other at the retreat, but somehow without exposing themselves, they have created this unexplainable bond and chemistry. All are fun and games until they go back to London and that’s where everything begins.
The most part of the book shows us about their ups and downs of their relationship after they have known each other’s name and life. We have seen plenty of differences between the two main characters as if they have changed to a different person entirely especially Matt. They quickly find out that their real life selves are not anything like what they expected. Matt during the retreat was this perfect and sweet gentleman but after that he is too plain, boring and grim. Like he doesn’t have a great personality at all. Absolutely zero chemistry between the two. The more pages I read, the harder it seems to read about their relationship. I honestly struggle to read about their relationship progress.
Apart from their messy relationship, it is refreshing to read about Matt’s family and their family business. Having a family business looks very glamorous, but deep down everything is exhausting and nerve-racking, at least according to Matt. In the book, work is the thing that makes Ava and Matt argue for the most part of the book. I don’t understand why Ava couldn’t have just be supportive of her boyfriend instead of being a brat about it. Matt is also a secretive person who doesn’t share personal stuff with Ava so the relationship even becomes worse.
The redeeming factor of the book is definitely the friendships. I enjoy reading about their shenanigans and dynamics of the group and I love how at the end both of the group unite together against all odds. It really contributed to the entertaining elements of the story.
All in all, a comfort read suitable for Sophie Kinsella’s fans.

The person you are with is just like you: same background, same age, same interests. The perfect match. And it is a disaster.
Then, when and where you least expect it, you meet someone new. You seem to have nothing in common and yet, somehow, it feels totally right.
Nick Hornby’s brilliantly observed, tender but also brutally funny new novel gets to the heart of what it means to fall surprisingly and headlong in love with the best possible person – someone who is not just like you at all.

HERE’S MY REVIEW
I was curious to read Nick Hornby’s books since the existence of High Fidelity TV show on Hulu. Since Just Like You is a story about interracial relationship, I straight away requested this book out of curiosity.
The theme is mainly about the challenges of interracial relationship. In this case, how does a twenty year old age gap and their different political and economical background affects the relationship and their respective families. This romance novel with an unusual setup lays out Joseph and Lucy’s story through their conversations together during their relationship. You can observe how they don’t really have the chemistry as they have different point of views regarding politics and race in general, however they both make it through the relationship at the end.
In my point of view, I don’t think that the author explores their relationship in a convincing and reassuring way at all. For instance, I am not sure why Joseph stays with Lucy till the end because Joseph always has his doubts about dating an older women and he always thinks the possibilities of what would happen if they stay and marry each other. To be honest, I think Joseph only stays for the sex with Lucy because based on the book, they had tonnes of it. Besides, there are no definite story to their relationship. The chapters after they both meet each other are so dull that anything barely happens in the book. There is no sign of Lucy’s ex husband wanting to repair the relationship at all. Fortunately, the story does get better at the end with the meeting between Lucy and Joseph’s mother as at the beginning, Joseph is reluctant for them to meet. From start, we see awkward meet ups and conversations but at the end, both parties understood and respect each other’s decisions.
Sure, race relations are a spot on topic in 2020, but the way the author puts it that you can date a black person and still be racist makes me want to gag.
One of the good things is the Brexit commentary as it shows how people from different kinds of race and economic backgrounds act and react to referendum.
This book is not a bad book, it is just a great read for me. I expect more story behind the relationship, not just the superficial kind of relationship.

HERE’S MY REVIEW!
This is a beautiful and heartbreaking story about a relationship between a father and his son which the father happens to be a popular football player. Before the Ever After is such a short novel and written in verses but boy, this book does punch you in the gut. The book is separated into two parts, which are before and after his father was diagnosed with this unexplainable disease.
What I love about this book is Jacqueline Woodson took the opportunity to show the readers the situation that happened to football players who suffer from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and how it affects the family members and close friends. It is so heartbreaking to see how a child process and witness the deterioration of the human’s mind such as behavioral and personality changes with thinking and memory problems. For instance when you forget your son’s name or forget to do simple tasks like going to the bathroom.
In real life, football players are also always prone to concussions to a point where there are a lot of football players who face the same problems like ZJ’s father does. Even once upon a time ago doctors don’t have a definite answer and present a suitable treatment for them. Up until Dr Bennet Omalu discovered a new name for the disease and published it in 2011.
This story is such an eye-opener and emotional as it deals with grief and hardship. Such an outstanding book. I look forward to read more books from Jacqueline Woodson.

The much anticipated new novel from international bestselling author Jennifer Niven, author of All the Bright Places.
You were my first. Not just sex, although that was part of it, but the first to look past everything else into me. Some of the names and places have been changed, but the story is true. It’s all here because one day this will be the past, and I don’t want to forget what I went through, what I thought, what I felt, who I was. I don’t want to forget you. But most of all, I don’t want to forget me.
For her last summer before college, Claudine Henry and her mother head to a remote island off the Georgia coast. There, amidst the wild beauty of the place, she meets the free spirited Jeremiah Crew. Their chemistry is immediate and irresistible, and even though they both know that whatever they have can only last the summer, maybe one summer is enough . . .

HERE’S MY REVIEW!
Wow, what a read. This is my first time reading a book written by Jennifer Niven and I can conclude that she’s a great writer. I was truly captivated by the story that I just had to stop reading because I didn’t want it to end very soon. It’s one of the books that will ruin you at the end of the book, but it will still give you a sense of hope and happiness.
I love everything about the story especially the themes discussed in the book. There are not so many YA books that discuss about sex and virginity because it is a taboo issue and people are not comfortable enough to talk about it publicly. The theme of sex is explored in a truly exceptional way, a way that I have never seen in any other YA books. There are a lot of sex talks discussed by the characters in the book that can be a conversation starter for people to talk about their experience without being judged. The book also breaks down the misconceptions of virginity and debunking myths about hymen where a person’s value is not based on their virginity. Breathless truly crosses the barrier of YA literature.
Breathless also talks about handling grief and trauma. The main character, Claudine deals with an enormous grief where her parents are in the midst of having a divorce. One day she would be fine, but the other day she’d be so moody. I guess that how teenagers deal with their problems. It’s not always comfortable to read about them, but that’s how human act and react to many kinds of emotions.
My favorite part of the book is definitely the romance between Claudine and Jeremiah. I don’t usually read romance, but when I do, I always get to read beautifully written romance like this story. Their relationship are truly fleshed out from the start where we see these two characters cross their path. They have such a healthy relationship as they talk and discuss everything that had happened in their lives. They also had a great time on that island during the summer and it is so exciting to read about their adventure. When they are sad to leave each, I also feel devastated for them as we don’t know what could happen after summer ends. The future is full of uncertainty.
I was kinda frustrated to read the anticlimactic ending because I am desperate to know what happened to both of them and between Claudine’s parents. I really hope there will be sequel to Breathless because I would love to read about Claudine and Jeremiah all over again.
This has got to be one of the best YA books for 2020. Breathless will definitely be on my best books spot for this year.
Thank you so much Jennifer Niven for your beautiful story.

HERE’S MY REVIEW!
I have put this book on hold for such a long time, since March. Mainly because I didn’t have the energy to continue reading it. From the first page, it already set a boring tone that would last throughout the whole book. Since then I DNF’d right until yesterday when I thought, why not just continue this book?
The premise was quite interesting but the execution was horrible and messy. The thing that put me off from reading was how boring and uninteresting the chapters were. A lot of information was thrown around to the readers as if the readers didn’t know anything from reading other fantasy novels. It was so annoying to a point where I had to stop reading. However, the writing was okay.
The characters were not much of a help either. The main character, Maddie was uninteresting and naive, as any YA character you would meet. All of the minor characters felt flat and didn’t really have any kind of solid reasons to be in the story.
Honestly, the book could’ve been much better but it didn’t. I’m so sure if I am going to read the sequel next year. If I do, I am hoping that it won’t disappoint.

Fifteen years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale, the theocratic regime of the Republic of Gilead maintains its grip on power, but there are signs it is beginning to rot from within.
At this crucial moment, the lives of three radically different women converge, with potentially explosive results. Two have grown up on opposite sides of the border: one in Gilead as the privileged daughter of an important Commander, and one in Canada, where she marches in anti-Gilead protests and watches news of its horrors on TV. The testimonies of these two young women, part of the first generation to come of age in the new order, are braided with a third voice: that of one of the regime’s enforcers, a woman who wields power through the ruthless accumulation and deployment of secrets. Long-buried secrets are what finally bring these three together, forcing each of them to come to terms with who she is and how far she will go for what she believes. As Atwood unfolds the stories of the women of The Testaments, she opens up our view of the innermost workings of Gilead in a triumphant blend of riveting suspense, blazing wit, and virtuosic world-building.

HERE’S MY REVIEW!
I love watching The Handmaid’s Tale TV series on Hulu, so reading The Testaments is definitely a must for me. I haven’t read The Handmaid’s Tale book yet but I can safely say that if you have watched the first three seasons of the show, you can read this book.
One of the reasons why I truly enjoy watching the TV series is because the main character, June Osborne is such a compelling character. You really want her to win after all she’s been through under the prejudiced treatment from Gilead. Since The Testaments is set 15 years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale, I really want to know what happened to her. Did she die? Did she run away to Canada and never look back? I really have to read this.
The Handmaid’s Tale universe really reads like your general YA dystopia like The Hunger Games, Divergent etc. It has the “chosen one” trope with a resistance growing under the cruel reign of Gilead. I am definitely familiar with all of the tropes found in the book, hence I kinda expected what was going to happen at the end with the characters and all. The predictability was something I didn’t really like about the book.
The book is narrated by three POVs, Agnes, Jade and Aunt Lydia. At first, I was kinda bummed that we didn’t get to see June anymore but little did I know that she’s definitely in the picture but not explicitly explained. The first two characters are teenagers in the book, so their inner monologues and thoughts are childish and have lack of maturity that makes The Testaments sounds like a middle grade book. If the book is narrated by an adult, the book could’ve been much thinner. Maybe the author wanted to make this book appealing to a younger generation but I crave for more mature content as we have seen in the TV series. They are not as engaging as June.
I also want to complain about the thickness of the book. The book has so many filler chapters that if deleted, the story could still be delivered to the readers.
Another downer is that there are so many question left unanswered. After waiting for 35 years after the initial release of The Handmaid’s Tale, people would have wanted to know more of Gilead. Does the system slowly going to shambles? Are there a resistance fighting Gilead? However, there is no major revelation revealed in the book. That makes my reading experience so disappointing for the fact people have been waiting for sequel to be spectacular but instead the end result is upsetting.
Although I enjoy this solely based on an entertainment perspective, I really think The Testaments can be improved. I want more solid plot with engaging characters. I feel like this book is forced to be written, that’s why the book turns out to be just mediocre. I went into this book with such hype and morbid curiosity but I was disappointed at the end.
I can’t wait for season four and I really hope they don’t mess it up. The TV series is our only hope now. Blessed to be the fruit!
