Opposite of Always is a time-travelling YA novel. I was so impressed by how he was able to keep me hooked throughout the entire story! In this story, we follow Jack, who meets Kate, who ends up dying. Jack relives the period they meet up to her death over and over again to try and save her. Think Groundhog Day meets About Time kind of vibe.
I've been using audiobooks a lot to read this year and at the beginning of lockdown, I kept seeing Beth O'Leary's name pop up everywhere! So I finally decided to read The Flatshare after seeing it on so many people's reading lists. The Flatshare is about Tiffy and Leon who share a bed in an apartment at different times of the day. They're roommates but don't actually see each other at the same time due to the nature of their jobs.
Ever since Lockdown has started, I found myself listening to audiobooks more! After listening to Rogue Princess, I decided to listen to They Both Die at the End next. Death-Cast calls 2 characters, Mateo and Rufus. They tell them that they are going to die today. Knowing that they are now Deckers (someone who only 24 hours to live), they decide to use the Last Friends app which helps them find people they might want to spend their last day with.
A book about a queer Black teen with anxiety running for prom queen? I couldn't leave this book in the dust, I had to read it! You Should See Me in a Crown is a book that depicts high school life so authentically. It didn't feel like it was trying too hard to be "relatable." Everything flowed really well and the pop culture references didn't feel forced. Johnson writes the story of Liz's life as a teen from a genuine point of view.
Ever since I read The Kiss Quotient on Spooks, an audiobook library by Spotify, I found a new love for audiobooks. I saw the cover of Rogue Princess and the synopses and I just had to read it. Delia is a princess who must get married to save her planet, Astor. She decides to run away by stealing a ship and in doing so, encounters Aiden, who is also trying to run away. Together, they discover that a rebel conspiracy is trying to dismantle the monarchy and they aim to stop it.
After finding out that Spotify has an app, Spooks, where you can listen to different audiobooks, I downloaded it and chose This Kiss Quotient as my first audiobook to read. I heard mostly good reviews about it and so I listened to it. After I finished, I found a new love for audiobooks.
