Readers are introduced to June Nealon who has just been in a horrific car accident that claims her husbands life but leaves her daughter Elizabeth without a scratch. A policeman named Kurt pulls both victims out of the wreckage, attends all court hearings and later becomes the husband of June and stepfather to Elizabeth. June speaks of the unshakable bond that her daughter and Kurt have, even goes as far as saying that she often feels as though she is 'intruding'. However Shay Bourne, their carpenter with bipolar disorder causes devastation and heartache when he shoots and kills both Kurt and Elizabeth in what seemed to be an attempted sexual assault. Shay Bourne has taken the world from June Nealon but tries to repair it by donating his heart to the daughter that was left behind. What choice will she make? Will she save her daughters life by taking the heart of the man that ended hers?

What did I love about this book? Absolutely everything, I took in every word on every page❤.

I loved that the paragraphs were short and to the point, about four or five pages per person or situation. I didn't find myself skimming over paragraphs just to get to the end of the novel. Jodi Picoult's has a way of writing poetically; through her writing I felt June's emotions as if they were my own, I pictured the oversized coffin that held her husband and daughter. I love that I was able to learn a little more about Judaism, Catholism and Gnostic belief systems and the death penalty in America. This book will surpise you, I literally had goosebumps more times than I can count from the first to the last page. The ending is what surpised me the most in the worst of ways. I had hope for the characters and found myself sympathising with them. This book goes on my list of books that I would definitely read over again.

Novels in Verse hmmm? "We Come Apart"-Brian Conaghan and Sarah Crossan

Hello fellow book lovers! So this week I came across my first Novel In Verse! Titled: "We Come Apart" Written by Brian Conaghan and Sarah Crossan . I wont lie to you, for the mere fact that it was the first time that I had ever read a novel with this structure, it took me a day or two to get into the book. However, I quickly fell in-love with the characters, the story and the structure. The book is split into three parts and as mentioned the structure is in verse. We come apart has two main characters, Nicu who has emigrated from Romania, and is awaiting to be married without his consent. The second main character is Jess who comes from a home plagued with domestic violence, her mother is dating a man named Terry who is abusive in many different ways, and he often goes to the extent of making Jess film the abuse. Jess and Nicu have their daily struggles which bring them together and which also stand to separate them. What I loved about most

First post cant be less than "Everything Everything"

Everything Everthing -Nicola Yoon “Sometimes I reread my favorite books from back to front. I start with the last chapter and read backward until I get to the beginning. When you read this way, characters go from hope to despair, from self-knowledge to doubt. In love stories, couples start out as lovers and end as strangers. Coming-of-age books become stories of losing your way. Your favorite characters come back to life.” ― Nicola Yoon , Everything, Everything This amazing book was referred to me by a friend and colleague, and I must add that I did not need much convincing after watching a snippet of the trailer of the movie that cannot come soon enough. this book only took me a day to read because of its structure, its super reader friendly and really grabs your heart and doesn't let you go. Without giving any of the goodness away, this young adult fiction novel looks at the life of Madeline "Maddy" Whittier who suffers from a

James Patterson- Middle School The Worst Days Of My Life

A good day to you Bibliophiles! today I did something a little different as you can see! I have wondered about my sisters obsession with James Patterson's 'Middle School' books and today I finally got it. We watched Middle School:The Worst Years Of My Life based on one of James Patterson's books, I have to say I thought I would hate it but turns out in a couple of hours I would be blogging about it! So basically this particular book and movie is about a character named Rafe who has been expelled from two schools, his last option is a middle school that has too many rules that he cant understand or come to terms with. According to my sister and according to the movie he constantly communicates with a guy called Leo. It is Leo's character that caught my attention , at first Leo looks like that friend that's always by your side, helps you make plans and keeps your head in the game. While watching the movie my sister kept complaining about how different ev
