#Review: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars rounded up to 4!

This book is character driven. It is about Cather who is a big Simon Snow fan and likes writing FanFiction about the 'fictional' book series. And there is this guy Levi, who loves her stories and falls in love with her. That's it. (A 'typical' YA book.)

But this book involves the whole Harry Potter world in disguise of Simon Snow which is a fictional series in this book. Why?!

“It’s hard for me to get my head around. It’s like hearing that Harry Potter is gay."

SERIOUSLY?!

One of the character says that, and I guess he is so right! This book is not a 'fandom' book. Read it as a coming-of-age book and that's what it is. Rainbow Rowell is one of my favourite authors and I guess this got 4 stars from me only because I wanted it to be better, I guess. A little disappointed but I enjoyed it while it lasted.

So, overall, this book was just okay - nothing tot special but if you really wanna read it, go ahead!

Thanks to Manasa for BRing it with me! :)

Review: Every Big & Little Wish

Every Big & Little Wish by E.C. MooreMy rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 stars!

This book is quite unusual. It isn't only a YA romance, but about teenagers who are left alone to conquer problem usually faced by adults.

This book is about Jacy, Neil and Casper. Jacy is told, all of a sudden, that she is adopted. Neil is to look after his brother as their dad is no more and her mother doesn't care about them. Casper is tortured by his mother and runs away from his home. Their lives are sometimes parallel and sometimes interesting. The book is about how they solve their problems without any family support and with empathy for each other.


This wasn't a bad book. Not bad at all. But it promises more than what it gives. The storyline becomes a little sloppy at times. It is as if only the characters are talking and voices interacting with each other and not with the reader. You can't connect to the story.

Not a bad one. An average one, actually.
