Just as in April, I read five books this month (I'm halfway through a sixth but I'll include that in next month's wrap-up). I have been quite busy with school and work, so I'm hoping to read way more during the Summer months. Forever Geek (Geek Girl #6) - Holly SmaleSYNOPSIS: Harriet goes to Australia with Nat and Bunty, and makes important decisions about her modelling career. Rating: 5/5 This was an epic ending to an epic series and I loved it a lot. It made me cry. Click here for my full review of Forever Geek. The Death Game (Team Mortis #3) - Bjorn van den EyndeSYNOPSIS: Erika is invited to play a deathly game that has already cost the lives of two Team Mortis agents. Rating: 3/5 I swear, this series is lucky the plots are so good. Once again I found myself completely and utterly annoyed at all the comments about how tiny and skinny Erika is, and how all the boys are fighting over her. Also for some reason all the boys think they have the right to make decisions for her, touch her all the time, and 'protect' her. Literally leave her alone. The Fashion Committee - Susan JubySYNOPSIS: Charlie and John both try to win a fashion competition to get a scholarship to a prestigious private school. Rating: 3/5 I quite liked this book and especially the themes it involved. I did feel like it dragged on a little in the middle. Link to my full review here. Kill the Boy Band - Goldy MoldavskySYNOPSIS: Four fans of The Ruperts accidentally kidnap their least favourite band member. Rating: 4/5 After a rocky start this book completely captured me and I would've loved it had it not been for the dodgy beginning. Read more about that in my full review here. Finding Audrey -Sophie KinsellaSYNOPSIS: After a traumatising event Audrey doesn't go outside anymore. Her brother's friend Linus helps her overcome her fears. Rating: 4/5 I really liked this book! A while ago I reviewed On the Spectrum by Jennifer Gold and noted that other characters' reactions to Clara's disorder were very realistic. I feel the same about this book. The people around her tiptoe around the subject, get angry because they don't understand and have a lot of misconceptions. I really appreciated the realistic way in which Audrey's problems were described. This was a good read and I very much enjoyed it. Let me know if you read any of these books and what you thought of them!
