Reading Heroes
Ghostlines
Ghostlines is a very enjoyable book about belonging and finding your place in the world. The story follows Tilda and Albie as they struggle to find their place and understand each other. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend this to others.
Popcorn
I found that Popcorn is a very emotional book, full of the day to day struggles with anxiety that people experience and how they cope with it. It focuses on how scared Andrew is having a panic attack at school and what others will think about him. This is an interesting book, especially due to how Andrews emotions are described and shown in their complexity. He has a happy side and another anxious side which really describes how Andrew deals with his anxiety.

Not Going To Plan
This book gave me an insight on topics I had little to no knowledge of, such as stealthing. It included themes common to the young adult genre such as sex, inclusion and finding yourself. The perspectives were far from my reality and I liked that to a certain degree as it allowed me to understand an alternate lifestyle from mine, however the events that occurred made me slightly uncomfortable, as I was not mentally prepared. As a piece of educational fiction, I would rate it a 4/5 however as a book for entertainment/relaxation, it would personally be a 2/5 for me.

Twenty Four Seconds from Now
I rate it 4/10.Personally, I believe that it wasn't for me. I didn't like how the timings kept changing- it confused me a lot. However, I did think it was interesting because it was from a teenage boys perspective on relationships. Normally these books tend to be from the girls perspective.
