THE LONELIEST GIRL IN THE UNIVERSE by Lauren James

September 13, 2017

Book cover & rating - THE LONELIEST GIRL IN THE UNIVERSE by Lauren JamesWhen I first read the synopsis of The Loneliest Girl in the Universe, I expected an epic romance set in space. That wasn’t quite what the book was but I did like the direction it took. What I didn’t realise at first was that The Loneliest Girl in the Universe isn’t only science fiction but a psychological thriller as well.

FANGIRL by Rainbow Rowell

January 10, 2015

Book cover of FANGIRL by Rainbow RowellFangirl was funny and sweet and wonderful. What I liked best was the college setting without an intense focus on romance. This book was about Cath who tried to find herself, even though she felt she was losing everything. She so desperately tried to hold on to familiarity through her high school boyfriend, her father and most importantly to her, her twin sister Wren. For the first time, she had to be truly independent. I believe that for many, college is the time to find oneself and Rowell presented this transition very well in Fangirl.
