Not Going To Plan
Not Going To Plan showed me the irreversible consequences of actions. It highlights that you need to be careful during sexual activities and that not everyone should be trusted. I also have learnt about stealthing, i didn't know what that was before i read this book and now i know that it's illegal and can have serious consequences. This book is very influential and educational and many people can learn from this. People who have experienced this can also be relieved to know that someone has written about it and know that it happens to many people not only girls but boys too. People now can understand the trauma of people actions and how even though it wasn't their decision it can affect them more than the perpetrator.

The Boy I Love
I loved the book plot and the slow- burn. The angst also changed how I thought of the characters and gave me more of a backstory for the characters. It highlighted the time in which it was set as in 1916 homophobia had a big play in time. William Hussey showed me how Stephen felt through the first person narrative and gave me an explanation of why the characters felt the way they did. Overall I really loved this book and think its very inspirational.

Twenty Four Seconds from Now
The book showed important life lessons that many young people go through. It highlighted topics that normally wouldn't be found in books. Some topics were very full on and hard to read. Overall the book was a great read for learning the stages leading up for young adults.
