Life does not have to go how you think it will, not even when you are very sure what is going to happen. That quote from the book has to be the main idea of the plot, and also what I realized this novel offers in the end. While reading the novel I stumbled upon moments where I expected obvious and ...

I'm crying as I write this. Suicide trigger warning for the actual review, and book triggers to follow.As someone who has been in some pretty dark places myself, I feel as though this book is a personal letter to people fighting depression, suicidal thoughts, or any kind of hardship disguised as a Y...

No matter what we have been through, the problems we faced, the achievements we gained- life goes on. I do not stop my mundane tasks and think about the meaning of the human life on regular bases- but when you read a book like this you can't help but wonder the point. Why do things happen to us ? Wh...

This book was odd. I picked it up thinking, oh cool this will be about the in between,Something like Shusterman's Skinjacker Series. Wrong! While it starts off like that it turns into a different story. Going in a totally different direction that I wasn't even thinking about. So you have this new st...

I love Patrick Ness. This is typically what it feels like: His mind isn't clear. It races and throbs like the worst kind of fever, and he is unaware of even thinking. It's more some kind of wild, dying instinct, a terror of what's to come, a horror of what's happened." While these are Ness's word...
