Heartstopper Vol. 4 by Alice Oseman

Image
This one is a bit different but in a good way. Charlie wants to say I Love You to Nick, but can't seem to find a good moment. Meanwhile, his mental health keeps getting worse, to the point that he needs more help than he can get at home.  Nick is consumed with worry. He worries about coming out to his dad, but mostly he worries about Charlie.  He sees him getting worse and worse, to the point that he doesn't spend much time at school.  They both have to come to terms that they can't be everything for each other and find a balance between love and everything else.  rating❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ cover ❤❤❤❤❤ artwork❤❤❤❤❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie

Heartstopper Vol. 2 by Alice Oseman

Image
Charlie and Nick continue to fall deeper and deeper in love in the second book of the Heartstopper series. The book is cuteness overload.  Charlie has known that he is gay for a long time, but for Nick, all of this is very new. He is not ready to tell anyone just yet, so they keep their relationship a secret. At least for a while.  But they are not as subtle as they seem. :) The story is adorable and relatable and it just makes you want to read more. The writing is good and the artwork is seriously adorable. :) rating❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ cover ❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ artwork ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie

Heartstopper Vol. 1 by Alice Oseman

Image
Charlie is an openly gay student in year 10 at Truham Grammar School for Boys. Since coming out the year before, he faced a lot of bullying, but it has gotten better since then. Now he is seated next to Nick, who is a year 11. Nick is on a school rugby team. He heard about Charlie, but they never talked. They start talking each time they have class together and never really stop. They get closer when Charlie joins the rugby team. They soon became good friends, always hanging out even after school, and Charlie finds himself falling from Nick. But Nick is straight. Only lately he catches him looking and he seems to always find a way to touch him. It's the cutest, most wholesome start of a romance. I loved reading every page of it! The slowly developing romance between Charlie and Nick it's just the most romantic thing. :) And the artwork is pretty too! <3 rating❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ cover ❤❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ artwork ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie

The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan (The Heroes of Olympus #5)

Image
The giants have all risen and the heroes are no closer to saving the Earth more than before. They are on a tight deadline. They have also been having nightmares of battle at the camp half-blood.  They all want to go back there and help their friends, but their quest is more important. So Reina, Nico and the coach shadow travel back west, while the heroes go east. It's the final book in the series and the stakes have never been higher. It's a good conclusion to the story, but I was honestly a bit disappointed with the ending. After all that build-up, it seemed a bit underwhelming. The one thing that I consistently didn't like in all of the books was the narration. I didn't like the POV switches, they didn't work as well as the first-person narrative in the first series. rating  ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤   cover  ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie

The House of Hades by Rick Riordan (The Heroes of Olympus #4)

Image
The most intense book of the series! The stakes are higher than ever. Percy and Annabeth are in Tartarus, trying to survive and find a way out, in time, and they can't fail. Nico leads the rest of the team to the House of Hades. They have to arrive at just the right time if they want to save their friends.  It's so good! rating❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤  cover ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤   Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie

The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan (The Heroes of Olympus #3)

Image
Heroes are finally all together. They didn't have the best start, the peace with the Roman camp they were hoping for is long gone and they are planning on going after them.  They are on a ship, made by Leo, trying to come to the ancient land, but of course, it never goes smoothly for the heroes. Annabeth has a quest of her own to complete, she has to follow the Mark of Athena and find the statue that was lost for centuries. She is hoping that it will help bring peace between the camps, but the mission is not easy.  It's my favourite in the series so far- Percy and Annabeth are finally back together. :) And that cliffhanger at the end, omg! rating ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ cover  ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie

The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan (The Heroes of Olympus #2)

Image
Percy woke up from a long sleep, not knowing who he was or where he is. He spent the last few weeks getting trained by the wolf Lupa, who told him he was a demigod. Now he has to fight his way to the camp for half-bloods. But these kinds of things are never straightforward for demigods. The monsters keep attacking him and they seem to come back faster and faster each time.  He finally makes it, with a little help from Hazel and Frank, but the place feels all kinds of wrong.  Soon they have to go on a quest, to the land beyond Gods and face their own demons along the way. The danger awaits the heroes, new monsters, stronger, and deadlier than before and they don't stay dead.  The story is told from three different points of view. And Percy is finally back! :) rating ❤❤❤❤❤ cover ❤❤❤❤❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie

Frenemies with Benefits by Lydia Sharp

Image
This is just the cutest story! It's the end of the high school. For Jess that means working, trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life and hanging with her brother, who is coming home from college for a month. He is also bringing a friend that she has the biggest crush on. But the problem is, that she can barely talk to a guy, let alone do anything else. She needs someone to practice on and the perfect guy, for no strings attached, just lost of naked time is Ben. Ben and Jess are the only single ones in their friend group ( well Ben has a lot of girlfriends, just not for a long time), but they can't even be considered friends. They constantly argue and pick on each other. She is sure that she can separate the physical and emotional. The more time they spend together, she gets to know a whole other Ben, who is kind of nerdy and doesn't have the best family and starts to fall for him. But her brother's friend is coming and they had a deal... An enemies with
