I really loved this book a lot Ralph knows how to grip you into his mystery and story along while Jess was such a realistic girl to read about the characters were raw with their emotions that what kept the story going for me it did feel a lot like A Good Girl's Guide to Murder for me due to the elements of the story but I loved the whole YouTube side of it I thought...

I actually enjoyed this book it was written as a novella due to Madden explaining she was having a hard time writing this book because of writing slumps she had but if it was longer I would love to see the relationship between Amberlee and Justin throughout the book, I thought they're a sweet couple to read about but I also wanted to th...

Stay A Little Longer Book Review

  Aman life turned upside down after her father is now dead and gone she then meets a man who moves to their street and he changes everything for her that Guman made her feel happy and loved she wanted to be the same for him Trigger Grief, Suicide and Homophobia that are among but it all a very emotional story its targeted more for Dyslexia readers so it was more shorter. I really adored this book the characters were such a gem because it was so sweet and emotional seeing a young girl get on with an elderly man after her father does I wished it wasn't targeted in a way for Dyslexia readers not that I don't support Dyslexia it just wanted wanted it to be a tiny bit longer because I was really loving the book that, I didn't want it to end but sadly it had to! xo SeekingBookWorm

Erratic & Unncessary Book Review

This is a set of poems made into one story which expressing feelings of what each person felt in the book there wasn't a character in it really was more of a set of emotions put into a story so there isn't much of a plot-line, I can give but I recommend if you love Poems then give this one a read! xo SeekingBookWorm

Frankly In Love Book Review

  Frankly in love is a coming of age story about a Korean- American boy who starts life with his parents in California but they gave him one rule he must date Korean Girls only but Frankie means Brit a girl who he really likes but she's white so he and his best friend Joy decided to fake date to have freedom because his friend is in the same shoes as Frankie... I really struggled with this book because Yoon made me feel this a lot like John Green the writing style was putting me off but I wanted to give Frankie a chance so I kept reading on but the more I continued the bored I became because I almost found Frankly annoying to read about I hated how he said certain things like Farphone when it's suppose to be smartphone Yoon could have said Cellphone to make Frankie more like his age and also I hated how he and Q were being racist about black people and etc so this was a no from me! xo SeekingBookWorm

All Your Twisted Secrets Book Review

  This story focuses on Amber who's sister Maggie died and left her in a tragic way that she spends time with her boyfriend Robbie apparently they we're on the way for a scholarship and Amber also Robbie got trapped in the room for an unknown reason and Diego was one of the boy's who fell in love with Amber but due to Robbie the whole thing turned into a whirlwind these students were all stranded in this room not knowing how to get out... I enjoyed this book and I laughed and was shocked about how these characters, were going to cope throughout this room and it felt a lot like one of us is lying in a modern breakfast club style and I wanted more of this book because it was interesting and immervise also addicting to the story and the characters I can't wait to see where Urban goes with the second book because I really loved this debut novel so far. xo SeekingBookWorm

Two Can Keep A Secret Book Review

 This story follow Ellery and Ezra that they're twins and they are looking into the case of two dead homecoming queens apparently the killer is known to be back two years later can they both manage to discover and solve the case before things get out of hand? I loved this book so much it was very interesting and quite mind blowing I love how Mcmanus was realstic and more adventurous with this story at first I thought I wasn't going to like this book because One of us is lying didn't really go well for me so I had quite mixed feelings going into this one if I am being honest but after hearing everyone raving on Bookstagram about this book to me I finally gave in to give it a read and I actually enjoyed it more than I expected to so I gave this a four out of five on goodreads! xo SeekingBookWorm

Get A Life, Chloe Brown Book Review

  We meet a thirty-something year old Chloe Brown who is a computer geek with chronic illness she also spends time with her sisters Dani and Eve who always support their older sister Chloe whilist Chloe decides to make a list to help her "Get A Life" and then she forms a love for this boy called Red aka "Redfort" brown who has a huge crush on Chloe but found it hard to admit it for her. To be honest this book didn't live up the hype for me and I was quite disappointed because I saw this book all over bookstagram and literally everyone I spoke to was raving about this book to me but it just wasn't my thing what I didn't like was: Sex Scenes were not needed for this genre A Cat I didn't find the sense which a cat being in the book not connectable characters I didn't really like anyone really in the book it felt dull and I nearly wanted to put it down! xo SeekingBookWorm

No More Sheets Book Review

  Ms Juanita makes you explore the truth of sex and how satan tries to make us have a desire to something that doesn't agree with us she explains everything in a senible and truthful also friendly way for you to understand that you've been sitting in your life creating Sin Sex and you have to clear those sheets out of your body because they'll be destorying you physically and mentally which was the main point of "No More Sheets - Starting Over" which means you think a lot about the actions that we humans have been taking against our soul and bodies. This book made me felt like Ms Bynum was my best friend because the truths of everything she spoke about was so powerful and raw they're times I choke up tears because of how sad it was in how she got treated in her life growing up it makes me understand how her time was different from today and the naive thoughts she had been a teen against sex because she went into the pit with a innocent mind not knowing the dan...

Lie Like A Magpie Book Review

  we meet Maggie Morton an 18 year old sixth form student who has been lying who she is and what she is and everything about her also her family and life now it's time for her to face the truth of who she really is... Wow Lily made me so emo for her work I loved how this was so raw in the emotions of sadness and pain the characters felt like real people in my eyes they were times I found Maggie herself a bit frustrating espically around Josh who was a bad boy but he was so sweet deep down for her and you could feel the love that formed between these two characters I would have loved there was a kiss scene instead of Josh dying and taking his life but I don't tend to read YA Thrillers but I did enjoy due to struggling with irl issues it made me found it slow at first but as I kept reading on, I found myself really enjoying the story I can't wait to read what Lily writes next! for a debut it was quite a good read and I'm proud of her xo SeekingBookWorm

A Totally Awkward Love Story Book Review

A Totaly Awkward Love Story is about two teens who wanted sex and loose their vrigin side which I didn't find anything too bothering about it just there was some humour in it Hannah and Sam were the two main characters of the book which I couldn't stand Hannah's best friend Stella she was a character that felt very slapable because of her annoying self also Hannah felt like the girls wanted her best friend to do everything for her which I couldn't stand because I wanted Hannah to be the girl who stood up for herself without her BFF but that wasn't the thing at all. I personally struggled to enjoy this book so I have it a 3.4 out of 4 stars because I wanted more and I couldn't find anyone relatable I had DNF this book, I was quite disappointed because I didn't feel for the writing style or anything. Thank you for listening xo SeekingBookWorm

I personally found this a good read but I didn't find Queenie at times enjoying as I thought she sometimes felt annoying and comparing herself to girls she sees on Instagram I think her thearpist was the one who saved this book for me becase she was reality I'm not saying I didn't like Queenie I did but she just wasn't my taste for me but the other characters were lovely I loved her younger cousin Diana I foun...
