Review: Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

Having already seen the film adaptation of this book before reading it, I did know what the general gist of the book would be before reading it. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of detail and the level of insight into Louisa's personal journey that taking care of Will took her on. I have to admit though, this book failed to make me cry.

Review: Every Day by David Levithan

This was certainly one of the most interesting contemporary style books I've read. I enjoyed the switching of perspectives with each new day and finding out how A would deal with it. It was also good at highlighting the stigmas against certain body types. The main disappointment this book had was its hinting about the reason for A switching bodies, but never going into that much detail. With the lack of insight provided I would have preferred for it not to have been covered at all because it left what I would think of as a good stand-alone novel too open ended.

Review: The Elite by Kiera Cass

This book was, overall, disappointing. There was very little exploration to anything beyond the selection process, such as into the rebels, the writing was far too much telling and not showing and, above all, America was annoying. This book was definitely easy to read, but I quickly lost interest in the love triangle and though I do want to find out what happens, I won't be rushing out to buy the third book.
