Asking For A Friend By Kate Mallinder

Agnes has aspergers and hates change, so when her sister moves out and away to Weston Super Mare she wants to go see her.

Besides her, Hattie comes along after being roped in as her bus buddy and has an aunt with a b and b there they can stay at.
She also wants to escape after an incident at a party outcasts her from her friends as they spread vicious lies around online.

Meanwhile Jake tags along too, wanting to escape for a very serious reason, finding a lump, down there and not feeling comfortable enough to get it seen too by anyone.

Kate is an exciting new author in YA fiction and tackles such sensitive topics extremely well making the story flow and develop perfectly with plenty of group drama and self drama for each individual character in turn. I love how the group became friends during the course of their journey together and it shows you can't judge a person on looks alone for sure and how we each can hide a problem from others easily too, it was a relatable read for the bullying issue online as we hear so much about happening in real life as well as of course showing an in depth look at life living with Aspergers and how it can seriously effect life for the person with it too.

If you want an adventurous, bold new read, this book certainly won't disappoint!

I loved this new book so much from down on her luck Regan, mysterious Kevin and his dog Elvis and Mantra the mindfulness group cracked me up as if you don't know Bring Me The Horizon sung a song called Mantra which kept going through my head while reading and isn't a classic to help with mindfulness really!  It was such an up and down drama good and bad times book it made for a tea

My gripping read that was unforgettable and Bella is a real word wizard hooking me in this is her fourth book I've read and loved by her now and I truly can't wait for the future books to come too!

Love On The Main Stage By S A Domingo

Nova and her family are heading to the Isle Of Wight for Island Rocks music festival with their fusion food truck along with Nova's best mate Gemma.

Only while there aspiring songwriter Nova meets Sam, a musician who she falls for as they spend more and more time together only he's evasive about his family telling her little and being secretive despite him being a bit with her friends and family.

Can the couple survive when his situation is revealed to Nova in a big way?

I loved this book, the festival setting was great as we see the couple come together so naturally and her family's trouble but how they stay positive through it which is a good way to be through bad times. It was a lovely light read about teen love and friendship as well as showing how you should follow your dreams and not give up!

Melt My Heart by Bethany Rutter

Lily is spending her last summer before university very busy, between hanging out with best friend Cassie and working at the ice cream stand together, she falls for Cal, who just happens to be her twin sister Daisys crush.

However when she starts to get feelings like not wanting to go to university and crushing on her friend, things get complicated can she solve all her summer dilemmas?

Bethany always writes great body positive fiction and this one was as usual fabulous again. Lily faces a lot and the relationship with her boyfriend shows how a lot of girls can feel about why a boy likes them despite their looks as we see her compare herself to her twin a lot throughout the book. The sisters relationship was very realistic as they face years apart at uni separately and struggle to adapt to the thought. Overall it was a serious but still fab positive read!

Many thanks to publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

In this book we rejoin the lives of Willa and Alice who are, two friends who look practically identical and in this adventure Alice heads out to LA to stay with Willa.

When Alice flies to LA to stay with Willa, she gets roped in to help. Willa should be volunteering at an ocean conservation charity but can't as she wants to help make a film, so Alice fills in for her. Only while there she falls for Jake only he believes she's Willa and as they get closer Alice has to come clean, will Jake understand why she did it and will Willa get on in her dream of being an actor and director wwith a successful first project?

Of course, will they actually get away with switching up places once again too?

I love The Switch up books, I grew up watching The Parent Trap film which is reminiscent of these books only these are more modern times and older characters too. The drama is constantly evolving and engaging and of course the not knowing if they'll get caught out swapping places kept me hooked it's a fun light read that teenagers will enjoy!
