Description: 

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a story about what it’s like to travel that strange course through the uncharted territory of high school. The world of first dates, family dramas, and new friends. Of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Of those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.

 My Thoughts: 

I don't know why I took so long to read this book. I really loved it. The writing style of Author was great. After reading so many YA books about teenagers acting like they are "not-teenagers" and fighting for the world against unknown dangers. I use to feel that these characters are not at all behaving like teenagers. But Charlie is exactly what teenagers are like. Well almost.

Teenage that too between 16-18 years is the age where they are not Children and not Adult . The struggle between thinking like adult but can't act like one is all this book is about. The author had described all the thoughts and struggles faced by a teenager even if he/she is happy on outside.

Its one time read but a must read.

My rating: 

 I give this book 5 stars out of 5.

Description: 

Sang Sorenson dreams of what life might be like for her in the Academy, but joining isn't as easy as simply writing an exam or passing an interview. She'll need to pull the team together to get them on her side in order for it to work, which is harder than it sounds. The boys will do anything to protect her, which, for some, means keeping her out.

But that’s not all that’s going on in Sang’s complicated life. After a shocking revelation, Gabriel Coleman splinters himself off from everyone, avoiding not just his Academy team, but even going so far as to avoid Sang. Desperate to bring him back and get him on her side, Sang digs deep into his past to try to discover a way to reach out to him.

His truth is riddled with tragic events, but with the help of Kota, Victor, Silas, Nathan, Luke and North, she might be able to reach out to him before envy and despair drag him too far down to be saved.

The Academy, Deeply Bonded.

My Thoughts: 

Such a sweet book. OMG all the feels I am getting after reading it. Read it till 6 in the morning, can't put this book down man!!
Honestly when I stared reading this book I got really annoyed by Sang thought to stop reading this series any further. But then after few chapters it become interesting again and I was unable to put this book down.
I was never a fan of Kota but damn he got some leadership qualities and proved me why he was their leader. Also I fell in love with Victor and North once again, they are so awesome. They understand Sang better than others and also helps her everytime. This book is about Gabriel and we really got to see the real Gabe behind all those funny talks and cursing. He has his own demons to fight, all those insecurities and jealousy. I guess only this book has covered real feelings of Gabriel and story revolved around him and Sang. Unlike other books where only glimpse of the boys personal life was written(apart from their family and past).
Best parts of the book was chapters where CL told us about Boys bonding with each, how good they understand and support their family. If you reading this book and stuck with the starting then don't stop the ending gets better. Also C L Stone once again left us confused like Gabriel about Sang's past. I like the way she keeps readers interested in her next books by some twists.

My rating: 

I give this book 4 stars out of 5.

The Fault In Our Stars

Author: John Green
Genres: YA, Romance, cancer related, friction, contemporary
Language: English
Published on: 3rd January 2013

Goodreads

Description: 

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.

Insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw, The Fault in Our Stars is award-winning author John Green's most ambitious and heartbreaking work yet, brilliantly exploring the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.

My Thoughts: 

I liked the book, It was good, got to know a lot about cancer patients and their struggles but its not my cup of tea. I already saw the movie and liked it too, so a lot of elements were not surprising. It didn't made me cry, instead it made me confused. whether I really like it or not. I am still confused about it. I liked the humor in the book a lot more towards the end. The second half or the sad part of the book was more interesting than the starting chapters. The writer had written so many good things, I will give to him for that but as a sad love story hmmm, nope it was that appealing. It would have been better if it was not cancer, then I can digest the story-line. Definitely not reading it again but will like to quote this book, that were some damn good lines. About characters in this story I liked Gus but not Hazel. Her sense of humor is good but she is bitchy sometimes, may be some will blame it on her cancer but still one should not be that rude to her loved ones. And Gus definitely is a good book boyfriend(funny,loving,caring and understanding).
Recommended to those who like sad ,star crossed love stories.

My rating:

I give this book 3.5 stars out of 5.

 My Thoughts:

It was my first Colleen Hoover book and absolutely loved her writing style and will read the other books of her soon.
So about the book it was good, I really liked it. It has all those cute cute moments between the main characters ,specially the lines delivered by Ben......hmmm just loved it!!! One should definitely read it. I also liked how she wrote it from two person perspective and does't sound same. I really hate it when authors forgot that they are writing as different persons and makes it a mess. The book contains so many good quotes and thoughts which made my day even brighter.
Even though I liked the book, I didn't liked the plot line that much. It was way too unrealistic for me. (Ya,ya I know that is why it is called friction Reshma,but).The whole meeting every November 9 for five years and that too without contact!! uhhhun nope....doesn't work for me. And I am also gifted and cursed at the same time with the ability of figuring out the twist in the story ahead. So the MAJOR plot twist in this was not at all SHOCKER for me. I already guessed it ,so it didn't effected me...not at all...I didn't cried..nope..nah....HMM..... OKAY,OKAY!! I Cried!! AGH...there I admitted that I cried, and that too through  out last 2 chapters.
On the whole it was a good read, I really enjoyed it and will recommend it too.

 My rating: 

 I give this book 4 stars out of 5.
