I feel like I haven't done one of these posts in ages, although I've been reading lots of books, I've already got my next three finished for the next post, so I have some catching up to do!
Faceless by Alyssa Sheinmel - 5/5
Set around Maisie whose face is partially destroyed after being struck by lightening and goes onto get a face transplant, the book follows her journey. I loved this book, I found Maisie to be really likeable, the book was emotional but really uplifting and I'd definitely recommend it!
The Year of the Rat by Clare Furniss - 4/5
After Pearl's mum dies during childbirth, her baby sister to her is "the rat", the book follows her life without her mum and how she learns to accept her sister. I really enjoyed this book, it's real and funny and an interesting point of view to read about.
Ways to Live Forever by Sally Nicholls - 4/5
Sometime bulk buying books on Amazon based on recommend books means sometimes you buy books that are probably meant for teenagers. I love YA novels and think you can read them at any age but this book might be a little out of my age category! Nevertheless it's a short read about Sam who's 11 years old and has leukaemia. It's funny and honest, sad but also uplifting.
Faceless sounds like a good read, lovely post! x
