If I Stay and Where She Wentreview


These two books are heart-rending. When I finished them I felt incredibly over-wrought. But sometimes you need that. CATHARSIS was needed and boy, was it there.
It's an incredibly memorable love story but so much more than that. It's about the girl who loses her entire family in a car crash. She is severely injured and her spirit has to make the choice, to stay with her boyfriend Adam in a world without her family in it or to join them in the After-Life.
It's heartbreaking. It's real. It's raw. It's beautiful

A great reason to read Bridget Jones's Diary


The best thing I liked about Bridget Jones was that she always made me laugh even when she was crying.
And of course it's loosely based on Pride and Prejudice.
Need I say more?

P.S The movie is fantabulous, too!

Zootopia : It's an amazing animated movie for adults


Zootopia is a movie that is a class apart. It is a must-watch for people of all ages. This movie takes a stand against prejudice and discrimination of all sorts and propagates equality without being a snooze-fest! It is the epitome of cuteness and comedy YET manages to make you think. Are we all as open-minded and liberal as we like to think we are?
The dialogues are very simple. But the messages they convey are deep, indeed.  The movie leaves you with a lot of food for thought. Not to mention there is an OVERLOAD of cuteness. It deserves a standing ovation. Disney has done us proud!!!

The synopsis would be.. well it's about a rabbit who wants to be a police officer, the first bunny to ever be one.
But is it really all about that?

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

RATING-****


Are you one of those people and starts reading a book and goes "I know exactly what is gonnahappen now?"
Because if you are, this is the book for you. You can't do that to this one
There are such unpredictable twists and turns in this fantastic paranormal romance which is set in a totally dystopian universe.It's about a girl whose touch..kills. Her parents and society in general has her locked up. She's labelled a threat to society. Most importantly to the Restablishment, which is basically Big Brother times horrid. She doesn't blame them. She agrees with them. She believes she's a monster, too. But is she? Or is she their saviour?

P.S This book is TRULY unpredictable, and it's sequels are awesome, too. I mean the real ones. I haven't read the little novellas.

Uninvited and Unleashed by Sophie Jordan



Rating ****















Rating ****


Uninvited by Sophie Jordan is a fantastic dystopian paranormal romance. it's sequel, Unleashed is as good or even better.
The book is about a young girl, Davy whose perfect life changes forever when she is diagnosed with Homicidal Tendency Syndrome (HTS).  It's the kill gene. Anyone with the syndrome is likely to commit heinous criminal acts. Davy is immediately branded as an outcast and soon after, shipped to a camp full of similar misfits. The one bright spot on the horizon is Sean, another outcast for the same reason. But can Sean trust him?More importantly, can she trust herself?

The sequel to this book is amazing as well. Very often the first book is comparable to the sequel but in this case Unleashed surpasses Uninvited! Happy reading!
