The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. Points to the review I wrote about The Fault In Our Stars (contains spoilers)

This book is beyond brilliant. I can’t begin to express how much I adore it. This is the best book I have read so far this year.

My book of the month is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I read the first book in January and it was pretty damn awesome. I can’t say the same for the rest of the series, but I loved the first book a lot.

Whilst I didn’t particularly love Katniss (the protagonist) I loved the story as a whole. Dystopian fiction is one of my favourite genres, but also a genre that I’ve studied many a times, suffice to say I’m not easily impressed *cough* XVI *cough* But I was pleasantly surprised with the world Collins created! (Although that’s not entirely true of this book since I am a Battle Royale fan which was written earlier and has an extremely similar story line).

To conclude: I recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

The Rescue by Nicholas Sparks is a great love story to read! It’s not too mushy or robotic; the female lead is actually incredibly inspiring as a woman and a mother of a five year old child with speech difficulties. The male lead in this novel is a fireman who is a sweetheart but also a man so he gets a bit irritating. I kind of wanted to slap him at one point. But he redeems himself towards the end, after revealing a dark secret that actually tugs at your heart strings a little. I found The Rescue to be quite a captivating read because you really feel like the characters have gone through a journey when you close the book. 

Read if you’re a sucker for romances but one that has more to do with growing up- even if you are by age an adult- and learning to accept that not everyone can be saved but it’s okay to need saving.
