My Week In Books (8th April)

With no book post and a reading list almost entirely from NetGalley, this week has been very Kindle orientated. Let's get stuck in!

I bought these three non-fiction books that I've seen a lot of the YA community raving about recently.

I also got approved for these reads on NetGalley. I can't wait to get stuck in!

It's the school holidays, so I've done a lot of reading this week. I finished The Upside of Unrequited (5★), read Goodbye Days (3★), and started Orangeboy. They're all very different books, and I've enjoyed them all for different reasons.

REVIEW: The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli

The Upside of Unrequited is a companion novel to Becky Albertalli’s debut, Simon Vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda, and is the heartwarming story of Molly and her relationship with her twin sister, Cassie, as they both fall in love.


I knew I would love The Upside of Unrequited as I adored Simon Vs. Molly is a wonderfully relatable character whose insecurities will resound with many, and my heart sung when Simon showed up.

The Upside of Unrequited is effortlessly diverse, and it would be brilliant to see more YA written in this way. An excellent read.

Stars: ★★★★★

I received a copy of The Upside of Unrequited from Penguin Random House via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
