    Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano|Review

    July 4, 2020 /

    Dear Edward…Prepare for a cry fest!  It combines everything I love in Contemporary novels, a soul-destroying plot, tug at your heart strings characters and a narrative that has me hugging my loved ones for dear life!  It’s not the first time that I’ve thought of myself as a masochist.  A family relocating.  Multiple lives forever intertwined through disaster.  Loneliness.  A boy left broken.  Element of a plot that in any other dimension would make for a truly devastating effect.  Only Ann Napolitano could take these effects and manage to align the stars. To bring a sense of ease and rightness by the final page.  The originality tears at you.  You…

    Blog Tour: Stay Mad, Sweetheart by Heleen Kist

    November 25, 2019 /

    Happy new week to everyone!  Well I am extremely excited to bring to you my review for Stay Mad, Sweetheart by the awesome Heleen Kist.  In order for a reader to truly enjoy a book they need to connect with it on some level, be that a previous experience, a love for the story or a topic that you have wanted someone accurately depict for some time.  This is the book that we all didn’t know we needed.  This book ticks all the boxes.  The writing is plain addictive with kaleidoscopic complexity.  Now I know that the term – favourite book of the year is thrown around a lot, but…

    Review: Normal People by Sally Rooney

    September 1, 2019 /

    This book has won multiple awards and was longlisted for The Man Booker Prize in 2018.  However, this was a book I just couldn’t get along with.  I know this is either a book you loved, or you hated but unfortunately, I was the latter.  Warning to those choosing to give this a shot – Trigger Warning of sexual assault, domestic violence, depression, anxiety and suicide.  If I’m completely honest I would have probably DNF’d this one, but I genuinely wanted to see if it would improve especially since it is an award-winning book.  I am left feeling and wondering why is it an award winner? I can’t see any…

    If you want a read that pulls at the heartstrings, makes you weep and hug your own children that wee bit tighter then this a book for you.  This book highlights the impact, adult’s behaviour and actions affect and change a child’s psyche – for better or worse.  During these years’ children develop a sense of the person they are going to become, they learn appropriate behaviour, empathy and appropriate boundaries.  They learn the social skills that will carry them through life.  This book examines the implications of parental abuse, racial undertones and a little boy who is struggling to find his place in the world.  The cover of the…
