Don’t you forget about me was a great book to start the year off, a lovely read that I couldn’t put down. Georgina re-encounters her old high school crush, who turns out to be her new boss. A well written, warm romantic comedy. 

Loved this book, The Flatshare, you’re pulled into the story and quickly fall in love with the characters, how they interact, and you can’t wait to read on and find out what between Tiffy and Leon who have never met, but share a bed. 

Adele recommended Untamed on Instagram, and I was excited to get my hands on a copy. The book shared lots of inspirational insight, but I found it hard to relate to. You can see my full review here.

This is the second book by Brené Brown I have read, it shares beliefs on wholeheartedness, and wholehearted living. I found this book more of a reminder to live in the present and live true to myself and just allow myself to be me, to live happily and wholeheartedly. You can see my full review here. 

After reading The Flatshare earlier in the year, I was keen to dig into another book by Beth O’leary. This was based on a grandmother and granddaughter swapping lives for a few months, I enjoyed it was a light read but for me, it was missing something and seemed a bit predictable.

I saw All The Bright Places advertised as a film on Netflix, but instead of jumping to watch the film, I thought I’d read the book first. Jennifer Niven really brought to life the struggles teenagers go through, the impact of bullying, suicide, mental illness and losing a loved one.

I don’t often review fiction books I read, but this book deserved a quick blog post, which you can read here.

Wow! This is the fourth book in the After series by Anna Todd. It took me a little while to get around to reading the final book, but it was as good, if not better, than the previous books in the series. I love how Anna Todd brings it all together in the end and finishes the final book with an unexpected twist in her writing at ending. I would highly recommend this series!

This is the only Spanish book I read this year. Great story of three girls in their mid-twenties trying to find their way in the modern day world, as life appears to pass them by. Each one looking to achieve different goals and not to settle with what they have. Watch out for more by María Heredia.

Daisy Jones and The Six was everywhere on TikTok over the past few months, so I purchased it without really knowing what it was about. It’s a biography/interview of a 70s rock band, it’s all fiction, but is written is such a believable way, like you are really living the moment.
