Summary: For Angel Ahmadi, life is only about one thing: The Ark – a pop-rock trio of teenage boys who are currently taking the world by storm. Being part of The Ark’s fandom has given her everything – her friendships, her dreams, her place in the world.

Jimmy Kaga-Ricci owes everything to The Ark too. He’s their frontman – and playing in a band is all he’s ever dreamed of doing. It’s just a shame that recently everything in his life seems to have turned into a bit of a nightmare.

Because that’s the problem with dreaming – eventually, inevitably, real life arrives with a wake-up call. And when Angel and Jimmy are unexpectedly thrust together, they will discover just how strange and surprising facing up to reality can be.

My review: Alice Oseman can do no wrong!!! (and no one can convince me otherwise)

I read her three books in order they got published and I love them all three, but I can totally see her growth through them all.

I LOVE this one. Obviously. The diversity, without playing into any stereotypes. I'M SO HERE FOR THAT. The characters were just amazing, frustrating but so loveable. Seriously they are all my children and THEY DESERVE THE WORLD. But I have to say in this book the grandparents are the real MVP's.

I loved the story. It went into a completely different direction than I thought it would go. And I loved it. Seriously. Such great storytelling. And all the different relationships. I love Alice Oseman's way of writing really great, not romantic, relationships.

Now I only need to get my hands on Heartstopper and the new book that should come out soon, and I'm the happiest of all the beans.

Summary: Frances Janvier spends most of her time studying.

Everyone knows Aled Last as that quiet boy who gets straight As.

You probably think that they are going to fall in love or something. Since he is a boy and she is a girl.

They don’t. They make a podcast.

In a world determined to shut them up, knock them down, and set them on a cookie cutter life path, Frances and Aled struggle to find their voices over the course of one life-changing year. Will they have the courage to show everyone who they really are? Or will they be met with radio silence?

My review: I'M IN LOVE!!!

Seriously, I'm in love with everything that Alise Oseman is writing. This is now my second book by her and so not my last one. I need to read everything she already has out and I need to read everything she is going to publish in the future. I NEED EVERYTHING.

She has just such a unique and special way to write her stories and her characters. I LOVE HER CHARACTERS SO DAMN MUCH. Frances and Aled, I'M IN LOVE WITH BOTH OF THEM. I LOVE THEIR FRIENDSHIP. I love a strong friendship in a book and this is what I got right here.

While I listened to the book and got closer and closer to the end, I already felt the need to reread or relisten to it. I LOVE THE STORY JUST SO DAMN MUCH!!!!!

Jan fav regretting you

Feb heartstopper vol 3

Feb 17-18 

In this volume we’ll see the Heartstopper gang go on a school trip to Paris! Not only are Nick and Charlie navigating a new city, but also telling more people about their relationship AND learning more about the challenges each other are facing in private…

Meanwhile Tao and Elle will face their feelings for each other, Tara and Darcy share more about their relationship origin story, and the teachers supervising the trip seem… rather close…?

Review : I love this series this volume was so cute and dealt with some hard topics like eating disorders and cutting . Charlie and Nick want to start telling there friends but they dont know how and Charlie is worried that people will bully Nick . They are getting ready to go on their trip to paris for school
. Nick's brother is home and hes a jerk . Nick and Charlie come out to aled Charlie wants to come out to Tao but Aled told Charlie that someone overheard Tao talking about Charlie being gay which is how he got outed . They are in paris now . Aled ,Charlie ,Nick and Tao end up rooming together. Tao and Elle obviously like each other Charlie tells Tao about him and Nick . Tao and Elle kiss aww I loved this volume cant wait for the next one .

Quotes: There's this idea that if you're not straight, you HAVE to tell all your family and friends immediately, like you owe it to them. But you don't. You don't have to do anything until you're ready.”
