Twenty Four Seconds from Now
It was REALLY good, I felt like I was in the book because I had lost myself in the book. I made sure I read it everywhere: in lessons, at home, after-school. I can't describe how the book made me feel, it made me warm every time it got to both Neon's and Aria's parts in the book.

Birdie
The book Birdie is a wonderful, heartwarming story of a young girl's love for a mistreated animal. The whole book is written so you can easily understand both Birdie and the rest of the character's perspectives. I had a wonderful time reading and got my heart shattered and pieced back together a good few times. However, I find the perspective to be slightly outdated, which is both good and bad. This means I cannot fully understand Birdie's morals or thoughts but it makes a great personal history lesson I can pick up and sadly put down. I would give this a solid 9.5/10 as the only problem I have is No.1, having to finish it sadly, No.2, the date of this book is not fully relatable to me and No.3, the way it was written is a bit comedic sometimes, meaning it isn't fully serious even when it should be. In conclusion, Birdie is a great book that really makes you rethink every racist joke you've ever laughed at or brushed off. It truly made me smile and want to cry at times. Would definitely recommend!!

Not Going To Plan
I did not like the format nor the story in general but I like the message it teaches. I would rate it, i would rate it a 4/10.

Honestly in my opinion, I didn't exactly like this book because of the fact it has quite a bit of sexism and ignorance of menstruation for women. It just makes me uncomfortable as for me it's a really important time when you start your periods due to it being your first one. However, the plot of the book is really interesting so I feel like some people might like it.

it was very emotional but not relatable for me as it was about someone with anxiety who had a bad day. However, the book was good and it reminds me that after every dark night there is a bright day coming up.

This book is a phenomenal read for feminists. It is based on a female's way of showing their true selves instead of the way they are told to conduct themselves. Personally, I found this an amazing read but opinions can differ. Thank you for writing this womanly-independent book Beth O'Brien!!

Ghostlines 
It was dull at first as they were introducing each character but the more I read the more I got invested. It was funny and sad because the character showed different emotions at the same time. The main character once laughed and sobbed but just sounded like a pig.

The Boy I Love
The book was really good and I would definitely recommend it to others that like reading this genre. To be honest, I would read it again and again if I could as I would never get tired of it due to the fact that the characters are fun and loveable while the plot is just absolutely amazing as well. The main characters make the story at the start, middle and end of the book just so intriguing to read about their past and love lives together.

Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody
It was very emotional as it was about a lizard who had a very hard life but it shows that there is always hope and good friend for you. Because of this, I really like the book.
