At a wedding (not her own) Angelas Clark realizes that her boyfriend has betrayed her. She leaves everything and decides to go to New York. She quickly gets a new friend, and all of a sudden she finds herself dating two hot guys, in the best city in the world. I don’t think everyone will like Lindsey Kelk’s first book in the ‘I heart’ series, but if your into chick lit, love ‘Sex and The City’ or similar things, you should definitely give it a go!

’52 likes’ by Medeia Sharif
17 year old Valerie is raped and goes through hell. But other girls from Miami Gardens High have also been in trouble recently; one found murdered. Is the killer the same person who raped Valerie? Or is Valerie just a slut who asked for the rape herself, like some of the boys say? ’52 likes’ is both mystery and contemporary. In a really good way Valerie’s narrator voice remindeds me a lot of Hannah’s tape-voice in Jay Ashers ‘Thirteen reasons why’. I liked the contemporary part of the novel so much. The mystery solving, not so much.
‘A School for Unusual Girls’ (Stranje House #1) by Kathleen Baldwin
‘A School for Unusual Girls’ isn’t just another story about a guy and a girl falling in love though. It is a book about finding yourself and finding people who accept you for you.
‘Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda’ by Becky Albertalli
“Don’t you think everyone should have to come out? Why is straight the default?”
‘Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda’ is one of the funniest and most heart touching stories I’ve read so far this year. I’m absolutely in love with this book and believe me, if I could force everyone in the world to read it, I would.
‘The Perks of being a Wallflower’ by Stephen Chbosky
‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ is the story about the sensitive 15-year-old boy, Charlie, who starts in High School. As a reader I felt like I had a bigger role in this book because of the personal writing style and that is something I have never experienced before. But at the same time I cannot say that ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ has reached my list of favorite books.
‘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.
‘Let It Snow’ by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle
‘Let It Snow’ with the subtitle ‘Three holiday romances’ is a novel from 2008, where three separate novellas mix into each other, storywise. The two first stories were so well written, deep, unpredictable, funny and thrilling, and the last one was a lot worse that just so-so. But overall, ‘Let It Snow’ still deserves four out of five stars.
‘Anna and the French Kiss’ (Anna and the French Kiss #1) by Stephanie Perkins
If you are looking for a fast feel-good chick-lit to read here in the holiday, then this story about love, friendship and dreams is the book for you. .
‘The Book Thief’ by Markus Zusak
While reading ‘The Book Thief’ I got a whole new perspective on, what it was like to live in Nazi Germany during World War II. None other than Death tells the story of Liesel Meminger, and the story was both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.
