Imperfect Perfictionist

Author - Gayle Forman Genre - Young Adult No. of Pages  - 210 Year of Publication - 2009 Rating - ❤️❤️ ❤️ I expected this book to be quite moving and emotional, a book that would make me cry and laugh at the same time and the words of which would seep into my mind. I am not cold-blooded, but this book couldn't make me cry.  You have to believe that I cry a lot over fictional characters. I did cry while reading The Notebook and Me Before You and The Fault In Our Stars and several other books. And I expected the same to happen while reading this book because it has this death thing hanging all over it.  Mia is just the girl next door with an intense love for classical music and cello. She is 17, has loving parents and grandparents and a cute little brother, Teddy. Everything is just about normal till one morning. The morning when her family decides to go on a drive and an unfortunate accident plunges Mia through an impossible and exhausting turn of events. M...

(Contains Spoilers) Author - SJ Watson Genre - Thriller No. of Pages - 368 Year of Publication - 2011 Rating - ❤️❤️❤️(3.5) I admit, this book had me guessing till the end. And the ending wasn't something that I saw coming.  I found this book far more thrilling than 'The Girl On The Train' which was somehow predictable for me. In the beginning, I didn't have even a speck of hint or clue about the climax. That's the thing that kept me glued to this book and I read it by spending my one whole day. I won't say it was a "proper page turner". I had some difficulty in reading the starting one-third part of it because it wasn't much appealing and things were repetitive. But it took a pace after around half of it was read. And the climax was excellent. The book revolves around a woman named Christine Lucas who is suffering from amnesia. She is living from moment to moment without having any idea about her past or future. Her case of amnesia is ...

Author - Ann Brashares Genre - Young-Adult/Fantasy/Romance No. of Pages - 324 Year of Publication - 2010 Rating - ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Oh my goodness, this book is pure magic. I had been longing to read this book for a really long time and finally I read it. And the wait was totally worth it. If you have even a speck of interest (if not belief) in the concept of reincarnation, please read this book. I can guarantee, you won't be disappointed. I don't remember how I came across this book, maybe through Pinterest. But when I read the plot summary, I knew I have to read this book for sure.  Somehow, I also knew that this book won't disappoint me. The starting of this book is somewhat slow, for a few pages you might not be persuaded to read further but once you get to the core, there's no coming back. I found myself fervently turning the pages always thinking 'then what happened?' I was so lost in this book, I just couldn't put it down. The protagonist of...

Author - Cecelia Ahern Genre - Romance No. of Pages - 592  Year of Publication - 2004 Rating - ❤️❤️(2.5) The readers who loved Ahern's debut novel, (P.S. I Love You) must have searched for other books by her and must have come across this book, which is her second novel.  Same happened with me. I loved the former so much that I wanted to read more of Cecelia Ahern. And after reading other reviews of this book I came to know that this book is written in epistolary structure in the form of letters, text messages, e-mails, newspaper articles etc.  This aspect of the book made it stand out for me. This was the main thing that caught my interest and made me read this book. But apart from this factor, there wasn't much that caught my attention.  Nothing too out of the way or too surprising happened.  Rosie Dunne and Alex Stewart have been childhood friends but an unfortunate event occurs on their prom night and nothing is ever the same. And unintentional...

Authors - Maureen Johnson, John Green, Lauren Myracle Genre - Young-Adult No. of Pages - 354  Year of Publication - 2008 Rating - ❤️❤️ This book is a triple-trouble. It is divided into three parts, actually three stories. The first part is written by Maureen Johnson, second part by John Green and third by Lauren Myracle. Picking up this book was a consequence of being a John Green fan, and the sad part is, I least liked his part (the second part of the book). Here is the short review: First Part - OK Second part - Kind of OK Third Part - OK The first story is about a girl named Jubilee, yes that's right. And I couldn't understand why was there so much of fuss about her name throughout the book.  Jubilee has to embark an unplanned journey to Florida when her parents are jailed for some riot at some stupid Flobie showroom, and she is bound to go because she has no other option. The train she boards stops at Gracetown and she can't go any forward because...
