Review - If I Stay by Gayle Forman

So this book... wow. It took me a a while to read because I've literally had no time lately and that's why I haven't posted in a while so, sorry about that. 

 The storyline of this book (if you didn't already know) is about a girl (Mia) who gets into a car crash and as a results goes into a coma. But, she is able to see things going on around her. I loved that you could still see her perspective on things even though she's not there. 

The writing was so great and it felt like I was actually Mia and living (well, not living exactly but...)  her life. 

The flashback sections were amazing and I loved how you got to see her life before the accident so that it explained what happened after and what people had said to her whilst she was in the coma.

The only downside to this book is that not much happened. there weren't any massive events apart from the crash so if  you're looking for something action packed, this isn't for you. If you're only just starting reading again or have a book hangover, this is perfect as it's not too long either. 

It was so cute and yes, I will admit, I did cry at one part. I give this book 3.5 stars.

*** SPOILER SECTION **

Okay so Kim is the sweetest person in this book and I feel like I could relate to her the most with her rambling. And I also just want her as a friend.

Adam kinda annoyed me with the whole 'don't go to Julliard' vibe that he was giving off and I just wanted her to wake up and be like 'I'm going', get up off of that bed and go straight there. But of course that didn't happen....

I did like the fact that the her relatives made her feel at ease and thought it was quite realistic in that sense (not that I know what a coma's like). But I am glad that she chose to stay, although it was quite a predictable ending. 

Overall a really cute and interesting read 

Review - Half Wild by Sally Green

Another review!!! Half Wild was such a great 2nd book in this trilogy, you'd usually expect the 2nd book to be a let down but this was so action packed that I wasn't bored at all! 

Admittedly, it did take a while for things to pick up but once it did, it was great!  

If you haven't read Half Bad, the first book in the series I highly suggest that you do because that's equally amazing, if not better. And I just don't know why you haven't read it yet... Do it... NOW. 

The cliffhanger that this is left on makes me want the 3rd book like right now. 

If you are a fan of witchy books or distopian books, this is for you! I give the book 4 stars :) 

***SPOILER SECTION***

GABRIEL. NATHAN. NABRIEL? GATHAN? EIther way I just wanted them to be together because in my head, that idea is the cutest thing ever and so much better than Annalise. 

She actually annoys me if I'm completely honest, through out the last 100 pages she was just so negative I couldn't deal with her. 

The small glimpses of bonding between Nathan and Marcus were so amazing and it gave me a real sense of family, like they had been close for the whole book. 

Van and Nesbitt were the funniest characters and I felt like Nesbitt and I would get on so well! It also seemed that Nathan was slowly accepting them as his family in the book and I liked that idea. 

ALSO, THE STUPID PROPHECY. 

Why, why did Marcus have to die. THAT'S ALL THE FAMILY HE HAS THAT DON'T HATE HIM. At the start of the book I was convinced that it wasn't going to be true and that I didn't want it to be true but it was and so many tears noooooooooo.
