I feel like I’ve slacked off a bit this month! 😦 Here are the three that I managed to complete before April 1st!

The Love of My Afterlife – Kirsty Greenwood ★★★★☆
Wowza! Loved this one. After dying, her Afterlife Therapist pulls a few strings in order for her to be sent back to the land of the living, but there’s a catch – Delphie must find and kiss her soulmate in ten days. Easy, right? I guess it would be if she knew more than just his forename and a glimpse of his face. In efforts to find him, she pulls herself out of her extroverted comfort zone and attends classes and events on topics she’d usually snub, making a wily group of friends from all walks of life in the mean time. I like a romance novel, but I especially admire how this novel is about Delphie finding herself whilst in pursuit of love.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson – John Green ★★★★☆
Another re-read from my teen years – still absolutely love John Green. Every bit as surprising and heartbreaking and empowering as the first time I read it!

Games Untold – Jennifer Lynn Barnes ★★★☆☆
Loved loved loved The Inheritance Games and the three novels that followed it, but unfortunately, this one fell a bit flat. It’s a few shorter stories/novellas set in the same universe (either pre or post Inheritance Games). Despite the length, I don’t feel like I learned much more about anyone, besides Avery’s Mum, whose story is told in greater depth in The Same Backwards as Forwards instead.
