Concrete Rose Book Review

  We follow a young Maverick in Garden Heights in 90's where he's seventeen years old he was currently getting his life sort of together through his mum working two jobs and his dad in prison Maverick knew he had everything on the control until he finds out he's a father which turned his world upside down because the baby depends more on him since the baby mother Ishea found it stressful to look after him so Maverick had to do everything himself which he found looking after a baby challenging because he never done it before so through time he got use to it then struggles to balance school and work, fatherhood life all together... Thomas has a voice that captures you to read more of her characters especially what I loved about Maverick was the insight you see as a young black teenage boy also known as a dad which was something that doesn't get spoken about also the drugs and gang element of young black boys like him having to leave boyhood in such a young age to enter in

Kill Joy Book Review

  Pip Fitz -Amobi is not in the mood for her friends murder mystery party especially one that involves a 1920's fancy dress and pretending their own town Little Kilton, is an Island called Joy. but when the game begins Pip finds herself drawn in the make- believe world of intrigue, deception and murder but as Pip plays detective, teasing out the identity of the killer clue-by-clue, the murder of fictional Reginald Remy isn't the only case on her mind... Jackson has nailed again like always in this prequel you get to see where everything with Pip began before she took the case of Andie Bell and I just love how Holly writes shes knows how to grab you in a addiction of not wanting to put this book down because you want to know what happens next and I loved how Pip our Main character was the female we need in YA books because she's tough and bold also doesn't let anything get into her way if it means taking huge risks shes up for it that's what I love about her and I th

My Life With The Walter Boys Book Review

We follow Jackie who had the perfect life until her parents died in a tragic accident that leaves her with no family so she travels to live with the Walter Boys who are a mother to Katherine known as a stepmother to Jackie living with the boys have been hard for Jackie to adjust to the life maybe for her she might end up finding love... Novak wrote this book in a realistic way dealing with real topics that what made this book enjoying because family loss was mostly the plot of why I took a lot of love for this story because it's something a lot of YA books don't really talk about and it needs to be spoken more and I loved Jackie character she was a girl that you related to many things she felt aswell as someone who haven't lived with a house of boys before I had thoughts how she was going to cope with them and mange the life I loved how Ali wrote the characters it was just those cheesy teen romances that I wished I read in my teenage days because like they say books can be

The Truth About Keeping Secrets Book Review

We follow a teenage girl called Sydney who's father was the only psychiatrist for miles around their small Ohio town. and he is also unexpectedly dead is Sydney crazy or is it kind of weird that her dad - a guy whose entire job revolved around other peoples' secrets- crashed alone, with no expiation and why is June Copeland, homecoming queen and the town's golden child at his funeral as the two girls grew closer in the wake of the accident, it's clear that not everyone is happy about their new friendship but what is picture perfect June hiding? and does Sydney even want to know?.... I didn't love this book as much as thought I didn't enjoy the queer elements because I don't read a lot of these in YA and they're times I felt bored in the book and the story didn't really pick itself until the middle but the characters and the mystery was what kept everything going for me for Brown's first Debut it wasn't not bad but at the same time is just was
