I’m disappointed in my disappointment, but I’m still looking forward to reading Matson’s other contemporaries. While I appreciated the attempt to combine deeper themes and a lighthearted road trip, I couldn’t find the balance between the two and the execution was simply not for me. My review can be found here.Īmy and Roger’s Epic Detour, by Morgan Matson (2.25 stars): Unfortunately, I wasn’t huge fan of this much-loved contemporary. This book reaches out to a range of messages on courage and hope, while detailing some necessary truths of the society we live in. The Hate U Give, by Angie Thomas (4 stars): I remember being extremely excited yet anxious when picking up this book, but it definitely lived up to the hype. This series is already becoming one of my favorites and hopefully the next two live up to expectations I have. I loved the introduction of new themes and characters, and the writing was totally upgraded. The Dream Thieves, by Maggie Stiefvater (4 stars): This was a great sequel, and while it take a bit of time for me to truly get into it, it did not disappoint at all. I was not disappointed with History Is All You Left Me, if you are looking for a diverse and raw read on love and loss, this is the one for you.

There have been so many positive comments on Silvera’s More Happy Than Not, making him out to be a very hyped author. History Is All You Left Me, by Adam Silvera (3.75-4 stars): I quite liked this very emotional and honest LGBTQ contemporary. Anyway, I read 9 books this month, which is pretty amazing considering all the projects I’ve had to do (why do teachers insist on overloading us with work when the school year is coming to an end?). Hey guys! This is my first wrap-up post and I’ve actually been meaning to do this since April, but due to testing it was pushed back.
