Everything,Everything by Nicola Yoon Book Review

 Everything, Everything 

By Nicola Yoon 


Published : 2015

Page Count: 300 pages 

Medium : Paperback 

Genre : Drama, Young Adult, Romance, Fiction. 

Rating : 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



Not my usual go-to genre but I enjoyed this book very much. The surprise twist that came towards the climax, I was able to figure out way earlier .. but that did nothing to my surprise and thrill when it is officially unraveled in the plot. :) 


I loved all the illustrations and the little notes, hand drawn pictures scattered throughout the book. Highly recommend to all romance and youth literature out there. The story is very neat and the characters are too pure. A teenager Madeline Whittier has never left the safety and secure confines of her house in all her eighteen years of life because she is suffering from a rare condition of SCID which could spell death anytime due to any unknown cause if she is unsheltered and unprotected. Her mother takes diligent and meticulous care of her. She has a full time nurse Carla who is like a second parent to her. Very early on in life, she has lost both her father and brother in an accident as a result of which her mom takes super extra care of this always sickly, unhealthy baby Madeline. Into this scene, a new neighbor boy Olly enters and  makes an impression on her and they quickly fall in love. They run away from their houses for a couple of days and she finds out something startling as a result. What is it? Will they get back once ripped apart by their family commitments?

The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough book review

The Thorn Birds  By Colleen McCullough  Rating 3.75/5 Genres : Australia, Vatican city, Cardinal, Romance, Generational fiction, Historical fiction  Bah. I dont know. I felt this is just an ok sort of book. The only aspect that stirred me and struck a chord with me is the all encompassing, soul level love between Maggie and Father Ralph de Bricassart. Everything else - no matter how juicy,emotional or dramatic just failed to make an impact. The story covers the lives of three generations of women of the Cleary/Armstrong family line - their cherished dreams and dashed hopes, their hurts and heartbreaks over unrequited, failed loves..their finally getting what they wanted but it not being fully enough.. well, it sounds and feels like a roller coaster.  And whats more..there is plenty of repeat in the events of their lives..what has happened to the mother, happens to the daughter and so on..  Coming to the story. Maggie Cleary is brought up with a ...

Book Review : The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand

 The Perfect Couple  By Elin Hildebrand  (Nantucket #3) Published Year : 2018 Page Count: 347 pages  Medium Used: Kindle PW  Genre : Romance, Mystery, Suspense, Psychological Thriller, Drama, Crime, 2024-read.  Rating : 4/5  The ending is such an anticlimax and a let down for me - it almost feels like being cheated. I got so high and invested in the narrative..I lost sleep for most of last night and was reading all day since I got up this morning. The character development is ooof .. the characters are filled with life, credulity and fly off the page into the reader's mind space. I loved the layout of the narrative. I loved the writing.  I would have liked if the mother of the family was a bit on the negative side as well. I mean, really, having Nicole Kidman play the role and making it all cute, nice and kind, compassionate is like wasting enormous talent. I picked this book because I saw an ad that there is a limited series coming up on Netflix ...

Book Review: Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

 Gideon the Ninth  By Tamsin Muir  Published Year: 2019 Page Count: 448 pages  Medium Used: Kindle PW  Genre : Action, Fantasy, Magic, Necromancers, Adventure, Murder Mystery, Suspense, Lesbian, 2024-read.  Rating : 4.75/5 🙂🙂🙂🙂🌟 Wow. The twists!! And wow wow wow .. the lies!! The deceptions ! Its exotic and steamy! Unputdownable. Highly Addictive. Been wanting to read this for a while now! The paperbacks being so expensive, I settled in for a Kindle experience. I am not disappointed. The lack of smut - which I expected/anticipated when I heard its lesbian fantasy - is such a relief. The tone of the narrator is serious throughout. I had some laugh out loud moments once or twice but that's it. One of the best fantasy book series ever!  I think it is the prose and writing style that I had to read this book real slow so as not to miss anything out. There is action in this book , necromancer magic, fantastic games and there are murders to solve and lyc...
