I had great expectations to this book. The plot-idea sounded appealing to me, and I thought the main character would go through some kind of development. But I was disappointed. After reading, I was so confused, and I was not sure what the book was actually about. It left me with more questions than answers.

‘NEED’ by Joelle Charbonneau
There is a difference between wanting something and needing something. Students at a high school in Nottawa realize that, when a new social media is spreading among them. ‘NEED’ by Joelle Charbonneau is an extremely relevant and realistic book. We are living in an age where almost every teen is using some kind of social media, and I think that is why the book spoke so much to me.
‘Twenty Boy Summer’ by Sarah Ockler
In ‘Twenty Boy Summer’ Sarah Ockler creates magic through her beautiful writing. While reading, I became Anna and that really made me enjoy this book. Besides that, then this wasn’t just another predictable love story. I liked how I had no clue about what direction the story was going to take, and that made me eager to read the book.
‘The Shock of the Fall’ by Nathan Filer
I really enjoyed reading ‘The Shock of the Fall’. I had the sense of that I became friends with Matthew while reading the book, and he taught me great things about life.

‘After’ (After #1) by Anna Todd, Book Review
Tessa is about to start college, but nothing goes as she planned. She meets Hardin and suddenly her world is turned upside-down. He makes her feel a passion she has never felt before. The book took me on an emotional roller-coaster ride. I built up a love-hate relationship to Hardin, I saw myself in Tessa and these things made me fall in love with ‘After’.
’Lovely, Dark and Deep’ by Amy McNamara
It wasn’t quite the love story which made me turn page after page in ‘Lovely, Dark and Deep’. Of course I was curious to find out whether Wren would end up finding happiness in love, but that wasn’t what made this book great. What I really wondered was, whether this unfortunate girl could find her way back to a decent life worth living — or not.
‘Truly, Madly, Deadly’ by Hannah Jayne
I really enjoyed reading Hannah Jayne’s ’Truly, Madly, Deadly’. I had a hard time putting the book down, once I started reading it. I needed to know, what had really happened the night Sawyer’s boyfriend was killed. But even though it was a really great book, I still missed being dragged through the entire range of emotions.
’Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour’ af Morgan Matson
’Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour’ er ikke bare endnu en kærlighedshistorie – det er lige så meget en historie om, hvordan man kommer sig igen efter at have mistet en, man holdt meget af. Det er en historie om en pige, som langsomt lærer sig selv at kende igen, og derfor faldt jeg for bogen – ligesom Amy langsomt falder for Roger.
‘Eleanor & Park’ af Rainbow Rowell
’Eleanor & Park’: Det er sommer og året er 1986. En ny, rødhåret pige med tøj, der slet ikke matcher, stiger på skolebussen. Meget modvilligt lader drengen med tegneserierne og høretelefonerne hende sætte sig ved siden af ham. Sådan mødes Eleanor og Park for første gang. Bogen var fængende, jeg fik lyst til at læse videre, men den greb mig ikke, og jeg følte ikke noget med personerne. Jeg blev efterladt med flere spørgsmål end svar, og jeg fik langt fra den læseroplevelse, jeg havde regnet med. Det gør altså, at jeg kun ender på 2 stjerner ud af 6.
’Lovely, Dark and Deep’ af Amy McNamara
’Lovely, Dark and Deep’: Det var ikke kærlighedshistorien i ’Lovely, Dark and Deep’, der fik mig til at vende side efter side, når jeg sad og læste. Selvfølgelig var jeg nysgerrig efter at finde ud, om Wren ender med finde lykken igen, men det var ikke det, der gjorde bogen fantastisk i mine øjne. Det jeg i virkeligheden ønskede at finde ud af var, om den her ulykkelige pige kunne finde vejen tilbage til et liv, der var værd at leve.
Min sprogrejse til New York City
I sommeren 2013 valgte jeg at bruge tre uger af min ferie på at rejse på sprogrejse til New York med EF en international uddannelsesorganisation. Det blev tre lærerige uger, jeg aldrig vil glemme med masser af spændende oplevelser og nye venner for livet.
Anmeldelse: ‘EL DORADO’, Eventyrteatret, Glassalen i Tivoli, 2013
‘EL DORADO – jagten på den gyldne by’: Lørdag den 5. oktober 2013 havde Eventyrteatret premiere på dette års efterårsforestilling. Det skal ingen hemmelighed være, at jeg havde tårnhøje forventninger. Og de forventninger blev bestemt indfriet. Der er dømt komedie for hele familien, og en uforglemmelig god historie bliver fortalt gennem sang og dans.
Anmeldelse: ‘Paradisøen’ – The Sims 3
The Sims 3: Det skal ingen hemmelighed være, at jeg havde høje forventninger til den nye udvidelsespakke, Paradisøen. Og spillet levede bestemt op til mine forventninger.
‘De elendige’ (‘Les Misérables’) af Victor Hugo
Quick-Anmeldelse: ‘De elendige’ er en gribende fortælling. Jeg elskede de første 300 sider, men så fór jeg vild i alt for mange personer og alt for mange årstal.
