The Midnight Sun by Trish Cook

Suffering from a severe illness called XP, Katie is refined to her and her dad's house all day while the sun is up or she could get severely ill with cancer of the skin and die, just from exposure.

But when the sun's down she comes out of their house and plays her guitar on the local train platform, where she finally meets Charlie, the guy she sees pass by her house every day, object of her lust and affection's.

So when the pair start meeting up at night, with the help of her friend Morgan setting it up, she starts to experience life like other teenagers do.

It was a really beautiful story about a girl who just wants to live her life they way teens passing her by literally can. She comes into her own discovering what lies outside her house and we can see how much it changes her life as she finds love and friendship and the wonders of the world around her suddenly make themselves more known to her.

I loved this book, I was shocked at the end though, as Maddie is real! A real living girl whom is the authors daughter actually went through having a tumor on her brain at a really young age.

Earth Hates Me by Ruby Karp

From a young teenage girl, comes and insane amount of wisdom about life growing up as a girl in modern day society with all the social media around us and pressure to be 'perfect'.

In the book, Ruby discusses a range of topics;
Appreciating every experience
Finding the humour
Being you and learn yourself
Throw yourself into trying things
Social media can have multiple side effects
Sexism in sports
Girl hate
Pressure at school
Teachers aren't always right
Crushes and unrequited love

Plus much more!

Ruby enlightens us to her experiences, how they effected her and how she moved on from the experiences she's faced. With many stories told throughout, relatable and not, one thing is constant and that for me is Ruby is an incredibly in tune teenage girl with how such situations can effect you but only if you let them.

Earth Hates Me is such a true title of how teenagers are made to feel in today's society which is really bad. We need more realistic things out there and more role models like Ruby for other teens to listen to and realise, it's okay to just be you, however you are so long as you are happy with yourself!

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

99 Days by Katie Cotugno

As Molly returns back to her hometown, takes up her old job again and crosses paths with old friends whom are now new enemies in some cases, gets entangled with Patrick and Gabe Donnelly once again, life is proving to be tricky and pressuring her to make a decision before its too late.

There's also the fact that everywhere she goes, still people call her a slut and give her the side eye. Slowly Molly does make friends and also peace with her past decisions and actions.
We see how her adoptive mum exposed her secrets about cheating on her boyfriend in her latest book. Which unfortunately for Molly, exposed it all to her friends and the town people.

This book reminds me of Abbi Glines The Vincent Brothers books and I enjoyed them although this book is more suitable to younger readers compared to them.

Emergency Admission's by Kit Wharton

Joining the NHS ambulance service as a driver since 2003, it seems like more drama entails on each shift than in a soap we might watch on TV!

Patients described from true journal accounts made by Kit previously awaken us to the hard work and terrifying situations they may face, unaware of at first what exactly they've been called out to. A few snippets of information can't explain how the patient is fully at all.

Many accounts involve the police being used as accompanying safety due to severe histories of mental health or abusive behavior. Patients have been known to them over time for various reasons and at times the situations are so shocking to think of being in, a great one for this is giving birth when driving and being in or near to a field in the middle of nowhere!
There's more where that came from but I don't want to spoil the book, you NEED to read it!

Kit is an hilarious man and I would rather have a jokey member of the ambulance crew than an unnerving silent serious one. The situations he's been through to get to where he is now show his dedication to his career now.

This is definitely my type of book and thank the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
