Seven books this September! A good count. I finished up my Summer reads and when school started I got back into my normal books. Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between - Jennifer E. SmithSYNOPSIS: In the last night before they go off to different colleges, Claire and Aidan revisit old memories and try to decide what to do with their relationship. Rating: 4/5 This book was a fun read, that got better near the end. Link to my full review here! Love & Gelato - Jenna Evans WelchSYNOPSIS: Lina spends the Summer with her estranged father in Italy after her mother passes away, and learns more about her by reading her mum's old diaries. Rating: 4/5 A cute story about love, both familial and romantic, set in my fatherland and one of my favourite countries in the world. Everything Everything - Nicola YoonSYNOPSIS: Chronically ill Madeleine, who hasn't been allowed outside in seventeen years, falls in love with the boy next door. Rating: 5/5 THERE ARE PICTURES!! This book was a 4/5 for me, until the ending which blew me away and made this a solid 5/5. Full review will be up soon! A Dangerous Year (Riley Collins #1) - Kes TresterSYNOPSIS: Daughter of an American ambassador Riley Collins is sent to an American boarding school to try and protect the daughter of a technical genius. Rating 4/5 A great story which would've been a 5/5 if it hadn't been for this one thing that I really disliked. Full review here! The Drowning of Arthur Braxton - Caroline SmailesSYNOPSIS: Arthur Braxton finds a naked girl swimming in a pool in an abandoned bathhouse and nothing will ever be the same again. Rating: 4/5 This book was super bizarre from start to finish, but I loved that! My only negative point is that there was too much talk of genitalia. Full review will be up soon! I Am Malala - Malala YousafzaiSYNOPSIS: Malala's story. Rating: 5/5 Absolutely amazing. An insight into the lives of people in Pakistan, which is hard for us Westerners to imagine, and the story of the girl who will fight until all girls can go to school. Full review will be up soon! Coraline - Neil GaimanSYNOPSIS: Coraline finds a secret door that leads to the Other apartment. Rating: 4/5 This was the first Neil Gaiman book I've read and I loved it so much! It's very different from the movie but they were both so creepy and cool! That's it for September! What did you read in September? Let me know!
