Chosen Family

By Madeline Gray

3 stars

Simple story about friendship, love, family and the effects of childhood and teenage trauma.
Four: A divergent Collection

By Veronica Roth

4 stars

After reading other books from this collection and watching the films I really enjoyed reading from Tobias' perspective.
Last One Out

By Jane Harper

3 stars

Love this author and really enjoyed the Aaron Falks series but found this one a little uneventful and repetitive in the story - was left a bit disappointed.
Heart The Lover

By Lily King

3 stars

This book was highly recommended by numerous friends. There was some beautiful writing and lots of literary references (which I didn't always know). I enjoyed parts but it just didn't captivate me, even found it a bit slow and the melancholy ending left me feeling a bit flat - the narrator talked of how great fiction can enhance your life at the moment of reading, make it more memorable - but I didn't get that feeling with this book. Loved the title.
Mana

Nicely broken into chapters each starting with a whakatauki however a little slow.

Sequel to Breaking Down The Wall. Set a generation later before & as the Berlin wall comes down. Good easy reading from teenage perspective for teenage audience.
The Boy Behind the Wall

By Maximilian Jones;

Young adult book which I have been reading with my 14 year old. Easy reading good chapters. Interesting perspective of living on the two sides of the Berlin wall from a teenage perspective - but a little slow.
