The Night Circus | Erin Morgenstern

This is quite a daunting read as it's so big! But I've heard great things - am I going to love it?

Flower_Fairy This is one I've always wanted to read too, but I've never got round to it yet 8y

Unoriginal, no real clever twist or surprise - just a gratuitous and sensationalised rape scene that served as the whole reason for a main character's dangerous mental health problems. Would NOT recommend.

This book has been so popular but I just didn't really get it!!! It was too confusing and disjointed for me. I so wanted to love it!

This is such a cool and unique idea for a book! I didn't LOVE it because it felt somewhat judgemental at points - that you might end up in such bad situations because of your relationship choices - but I had a lot of fun going down all the different paths!

The story was fun but it was really the photographs that took this book to a whole new level.

I adored this book! I knew it would be a great and important book but I had no idea how much I'd ENJOY it. Wonderful.

Such fun!

Flower_Fairy I've been looking at Morgan Matson as a potential author to read. I think you've just convinced me that she is 8y
emmaoulton @Flower_Fairy Hope you enjoy! I wasn't sure if I'd like it from the blurb but it was a great summer read! 8y

Billy and Me is a bit cringe so far - and so many mistakes! A little frustrating to read 😕

I loved reading this book - but it's so problematic. This is NOT a book to be read by young people with mental health problems. It romanticises them, and it perpetuates damaging ideas about sex and virginity. I enjoyed reading about the female friendships though.

emmaoulton @emilyjaneblog Agreed! The whole book was a bit repetitive as well. Didn't do anything for me! 8y

I bought this one for my dad - but do you think he'll notice if I read it first?

Disappointed to see this old "wife doesn't want sex with husband but couldn't possibly say so" gag in a modern YA -- we can do better for our young girls!

This book was TERRIFYING. Trigger warnings for just about anything you can think of; I had to put it down every few minutes to catch my breath. But WOW that twist. Incredible.
