Review: Perfect Ten by Jacqueline Ward

This was SO good!

Caroline is trying to get her life back together after getting divorced and losing custody of her children. Her ex-husband was having affairs throughout their entire relationship and marriage, but Caroline could never prove it, and as a result, Jack made everyone believe that she was paranoid and dangerous, despite her successful career, and he took the children as a final blow. But Caroline is desperate to get her children back, and after finally finding the evidence that she was missing before, she will do whatever it takes to make this happen.

This is incredibly well-written. I spent the first half of the book wondering whether Caroline was actually mad, and the second half rooting for her as she schemed and manipulated to ensure that everyone found out what Jack was really like. The way she does it is clever - doing just enough damage that he has to respond, but not enough so that she can be blamed.

I read the majority of this in one sitting too (yay for lazy afternoons! :)) and it was full of twists and turns. Highly recommend!

Review: You Only Live Once by Jess Vallance

I wasn't expecting to like this book as much as I did, but I started and finished it in one sitting. And I really enjoyed it. To be honest, I'm a little disappointed that I couldn't have read this book when I was sixteen, because I'm exactly like Gracie is, studying-wise, and I could have really done with this book then. That being said, I'm twenty-two, and this book still really resonated with me.

Gracie has worked her butt off her whole life, and during the summer following her GCSE's, she mistakenly self-diagnoses herself with a fatal illness. One trip to A and E later, and Gracie realises that she isn't dying, but she is missing out on life, so she proceeds to try and have what she thinks will be the best summer ever. But of course, things don't quite go to plan.

This is a really light-hearted, easy-reading book, and I would highly recommend it.

Review: A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

This is now my favourite book of all time. I thought the first one was good, but this one is better. I'm so excited for the third one, it's ridiculous.

Feyre, as a result of many things, finds herself at the Night Court with Rhysand and his Inner Circle, and she manages to integrate herself into it. She's still trying to figure out who she is after the drama of the last book, and Rhys is the only one who understands this.

In my humble opinion, this book is worth reading for the development of Rhys and Feyre's relationship alone, but be warned, it is a slow burner, so if you are expecting a fast-paced, full-on relationship, this is not the story for you.

The last 30 pages of this book are so full-on, but in a good way. And that last line! DO NOT read ahead to the last line because it will ruin the book for you, but that last line! I've never been so excited to read a third book in a series in my entire life.
