FIVE SUMMER READS
Summer time finally feels like it’s here. The suns out and the weather could not be more perfect. Here are a few of my favourite books to read while under the shade of a tree with the sun shining so bright.
1. Everything, Everything
This book is basically about a girl who can’t go outside because she is allergic to everything. If she goes outside she could die. In seventeen years she hasn’t stepped outside her house. And one day a tall, lean, black shirt wearing boy named Olly moves in next door. This book had a cute romance and funny dialogues coupled with cute little illustrations through out the book. It was overall a fun time.
2. A Thousand Pieces of You
Marguerite’s parents are known for their research in physics about an invention called the Firebird. This device allows a person to jump into multiple universes. All is going well, until her father gets murdered and the person accused is Paul - her parent’s handsome assistant. It’s an adventure about how she survives each universe trying to find her father’s murderer. I expected the book to be more of an adventure novel but it was more of a cute romance with a little bit of adventure. If you like science fiction and romance, give this book a read.
3. The Truth About Forever
Macy is has everything planned out for her. She’s living her life perfectly. After her dad dies she discoveries that being perfect is not how she wants to be living. She gets a totally unexpected job and meets unexpected characters who make her understand the way she wants to be living instead. A cute little romance about expecting the unexpected.
4. When Dimple Met Rishi
So I haven’t actually read this one yet, but I’ve heard amazing things. This book is about two Indian American teens who attend a summer camp but a marriage arrangement and culture steeped in old traditions hangs between them.
5. Furiously Happy
Furiously Happy is an autobiography by Jenny Lawson about being content with whatever life throws your way. Her philosophy; to be ‘furiously happy’. After being depressed for so long she decided to force herself to be happy. This way she was able to go on many adventures and meet new people. A funny read which will leave you feeling inspired.
