It's so nice to read a book so close to home. This was great in so many ways. There were relationships that revolved logically, opinions that changed, and the Author did shy away from sensitive topics like residential schools. They aren't mentioned often, but she does talk about them and other tough subjects. I loved how every time the main character talked about Montreal I could picture it without the descriptions. I know what the Bell Center is, and where it is. That's a novelty right there.

4.5 This has to be one of the first dystopian novels every written. It was horrifying in so many ways and was full of messages. I don't think any dystopian can ever be as good. The system was stronger than the characters, it was stable, it was believable. Even though it takes place in the past, it is relevant in the modern-day society.

3.5 I found ti childish but very entertaining and original. I liked some stories more than others and the modern twist was cool.

Trigger Warnings: Mild sex, mild language.

Hey, a solid four for a contemporary! That's a first. I guess I like adult contemporary romances more than YA because they're more realistic. I don't have much to say about this book, but I enjoyed it as I did Me Before You. I liked the twists and the plot. It moved at a good pace and it was nice to see what happened next. Plus the European setting is great. I love 'far away' books and the feeling you get reading about the different settings and social norms.

4.75 I really need a minute, I'm lamenting the fact that I no longer have access to new Elizabeth Haydon books. My only problem with this was the fact that there were many perspectives throughout the whole novel, some that only appeared once or twice and had little significance, and I wished they'd focused a bit more on Ashe and The Three. I love this series. Absolutely love it.

4.5 This was way better and so much more different than the story I was expecting. I went through this very quickly, the unsophisticated language making it possible. I love how this explored what it truly mean to be 'human' and to have a soul, but even when you put that aside it was still a great story. I was always guessing. It was hard to know what was real and what wasn't. And it was so emotional. Some parts had me cheering, and other crying. It has almost anything you could want from a fiction novel. Plus, the romance wasn't over the top, it was done well, and it had a role in the plot and character development without taking it over. A very, very rare combination.

This was great new way to revisit the story. I loved how the graphics were only in colour for the Peculiars and not when Jacob was not believing in or with them. It did not have the same depth as the novel, but it captured it beautifully and the art matched the character description a whole lot more than the cast for the movie.

3.5 It's slightly better and slightly worse than I was anticipating. Overall it seems like it's good for a chuckle or for those who want a no-intenseness short read. It put a smile on my face which was nice. I found some of the content was directed towards people who are older then I am, but others were good.

I enjoyed this short read. Funny, it made some of the Quidditch scenes in the film invalid. Possibly a scene in the book too? I need to reread HP to confirm this. I wish i could look up some of the references and citations in the footnotes.
