All We Ever Wanted by Emily Giffin: review.

All We Ever Wanted

This book gives you food for thought and this is what I think:
Social Media has definitely changed our lives, sometimes for the better and other times for the worse. Who would've thought some years ago that sharing personal photos with people we hardly knew would be all the rage? However, I don't think social media is to blame for what happened to this young girl whose picture was taken in an awkward moment. There used to be abusive people before long before WhatsApp. The thing is that now these abusive people have got a new toy.

I liked the novel very much and I would've given it five stars if it hadn't been for the way it ended. I just didn't want to believe (view spoiler).

Brightly Burning by Alexa Donne

Brightly Burning
What a delightful mixture of si-fy and romance. A strong-willed female character with a penchant for unrequited love and a mysterious but utterly attractive captain will certainly remind you of Jane Eyre. I didn't know how much I missed reading novels like this one until I started Brightly burning. A must-read for fans of both genres.

Not If I Save You First by Allie Carter

Not If I Save You First

I think this book is meant for very young adults but in spite of that, I found it interesting. First of all, because it has a very strong female character who is ready to fight for what she wants no matter what and secondly because even if it depicted Alaska as a very wild and dangerous territory I felt like being there, at least for a while.
I strongly recommend this novel to teenagers who like adventure and a little bit of romance in the wilderness.

Don't Believe It by Charlie Donlea: review.

Don't Believe It
Even if I knew from the very first moment this character appeared that it was the killer, I enjoyed the book. All the characters are well developed and the story doesn't get boring at any point. There is a twist at the end that will surprise most readers and that made me wonder whether the author was thinking about starting a series with a retired cop as the main character. I will certainly read Charlie Donlea's next novel and find out. He's gradually becoming one of my favourite authors.
