The Boy I Love
The Boy I Love is an important story about how life was really like leading up to the battle of the Somme in France. It also shows us another insight into how actually gay people didn't just appear this century and the dangers they had to face knowing the world wasn't ready for them yet. The book shows how the generals and people in charge couldn't care less about how many soldiers they lost only to push forward a few miles. The main characters Stephen and Danny have to try and navigate their love as well as their seemingly impending doom away from home. (reading note : look at the glossary in the back if you don't know the terminology)

Really wild and funny while balancing emotional problems. I loved this book. The way it is written almost like a diary entry enhances it for me. 10/10!

I loved this book, solid 10/10. Why? All the themes were great and I related to Andrew's anxiety. The OCD is really well represented, and helped me learn more about it. 10/10

Not Going To Plan
I really liked this book for many reasons. The characters were great and I loved the way it was written. All the inclusivity was amazing, the LGBTQ+ Group, Teen mothers, Womens rights, and many more. My faveourite character was probbaly Zed, since he was finding himself throught the book, like his sexuality and mother, and all the new challenges he had to face. One detail I loved was that the fact each character had their own font. All in all, 10/10 I absolutely loved it.

Ghostlines 
At the start of the book it felt like a nature book but as I progressed through the book it got more exciting. An example is when Tilda and Albie went to the secret island during the storm and when Tilda gets injured, Albie nearly got killed trying to save Tilda. So this is the book for you if you like action and adventures.
