So glad I stumbled across this little gem. It’s a short read, but packs a punch! Be warned it’s sweary and check the CW!

🎧The Hate U Give - Angie Thomas
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I loved the characterisation in this one. And Thomas’ storytelling is perfect - she made me cry, she made me chuckle, she made me shocked.

🎧We Play Games - Sarah A Denzil ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As you’d expect with a thriller, this goes to some dark places, so consider yourself warned! An interesting take on the conman trope with very tense, short chapters that add to the tension.

A cracking premise that didn’t really deliver for me. Normally a huge fan of YA, this one might be in the younger end of YA for me (or maybe I’m just getting old 😩)

🎧The Storyteller - Jodi Picoult ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
An oldie from Picoult’s back catalogue, here she explores forgiveness - both for others and yourself. Some sections were hard to listen to.
