So I recently finished a few books and I just haven’t had
the time to sit down and write a review for them individually. So I decided to
smash them all together in one post. I promise in the future I will dedicate
one post to each book but for now, I’ll be reviewing three books at once.
As a preteen, my favorite book series was The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot. So
when I came across the first book in her series written for adults Size 12 Is Not Fat on Bookbub for free a
few months ago, I knew I wanted to read it.
This is a murder mystery but also filled with comedy. I felt
that the story plot was great; however the character backstories were a bit farfetched.
Heather Wells is an ex-pop star, who
after her mother ran away with her money, took a job at as a college RA in New
York. When a young student’s body is found at the bottom of the elevator shaft,
Heather feels that is it more than just suicide as the cops rule it. Heather
goes on the hunt for the real killer and finds herself in a lot of sticky situations.
Overall I really liked this book, it was a light read, with a great ending; who
the real killer is a major plot twist.
Next up is the Fault in
Our Stars by John Green
This book was beautiful, the story, the characters,
everything. Most of the population has read this book but if you haven’t, read
it. The Fault in Our Stars is about
the love between two teens, one of which is dying of cancer. The love between
Hazel and Augustus is real love; you can just feel it jumps off the page. I don’t
want to say too much about this book because it’s hard to write a synopsis
without giving too much away. This book is amazing trust me; I was in tears
almost the entire book.
The Probability of Miracles by Wendy Wunder
This is the story of Campbell, a young girl who is fighting
a rare cancer. In a desperate attempt to save her daughter, Campbell’s mother
packs up their family to find a mysterious town in Maine that is not on the
maps. Going off the tips of a member of her yoga class, this mysterious town
has magical powers and any sick person who finds the town is healed. Magical
things do take place in this town, purple daisies grow, a flock of flamingos
show up, right after Campbell’s arrival, and Campbell starts to feel the best
she has ever felt. When a list appears with everything she wanted to do before
she died shows up, she knows she has to complete it. This book is a beautiful
tale, of love, magic, and loss.
