When I saw The Island when I was browsing online, I was immediately drawn to it! I found the book to be good overall, although there were some parts that were a bit slow for me personally. The ending when I found out the twist was interesting. I think it was great to see PTSD rep in this book and how it affected the character involved. I also really loved the open discussion of going to see a therapist and what that looks like for different characters. A strong book overall and would definitely recommend picking it up :)...more

I absolutely loved this. Jennifer Lynn Barnes is a genius who can make her characters make you laugh one minute and sob the next with such emotion. I I absolutely loved this. Jennifer Lynn Barnes is a genius who can make her characters make you laugh one minute and sob the next with such emotion. I never cry reading books but by god did I cry during this. The emotion and how raw it was, OMG. Thankfully, I have the next book on my shelves so we can guess what I am reading next :)...more

Everyone always asks: TeaI think I have found one of my favourite books of all time! This was so well done and had me hooked from the very beginning! Everyone always asks: Team Jameson or Team Grayson? I would 100% say Team Jameson. I love his energy, his determination and although I think he can't show it yet, I think he cares deeply for Avery! Can't wait to read the rest of the series!...more

I love any book that deals with the psychology and theories about our minds, and especially the nature/nurture debate. Therefore, this book really hooked me from the start. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because at times I found it a bit repetitive. Overall, I found it really interesting!...more
Oh wow, was this book a ride! First book of 2023 and Five Survive has already set my reading expectations to a high standard. I was nervous going intoOh wow, was this book a ride! First book of 2023 and Five Survive has already set my reading expectations to a high standard. I was nervous going into this thinking 'will this be as good as AGGTM' and yes it was, but for different reasons.
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and I never tend to cry at books but the end letter got me sobbing. The way Holly Jackson can create that inner conflict inside your head about whether a character is 'good' or 'evil' is outstanding.
