Gabrielle Tozer has done it again with this hilarious, enjoyable and perfect piece of YA contemporary which is just as good, if not better than its predecessor. If you haven't read The Intern yet, what are you waiting for!?

*Movie Reactions*
Confession: No I hadn't read the book before seeing the movie, but it did make for a good film to watch on a Friday night. In all, as expected it had an emotional storyline and at the end there was a twist that although I should have seen coming, I didn't. By the final scenes I was shedding a few tears, and while I'm not sure it's something I would take the time to re-watch, I still really enjoyed it.

*Sneak Peek at Next Week*
I'll be posting my review for Faking It by Gabrielle Tozer who's also sharing a confessional post, a review and giveaway for True Calling by Siobhan Davis and more!
How are you enjoying All The Bright Places? I absolutely loved it. Book of the year for me. I'm reading The Intern in the next few weeks, have had it sitting on my book shelf for what seems like ages now. I can't wait to get stuck into it, everyone's loved it immensely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out poppet and have a wonderful week of reading! <3
I'm really enjoying it so far and loving the dual POV's. Hope you enjoy The Intern as much as I did Kelly :)
DeleteYES ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES. Less than a month to go now. I can't WAIT to buy it!! And how good is Faking It??? Can't wait to see Gabby's confession post :)
ReplyDeleteFaking It was so good! It had the perfect balance between a light/fun read and promoting a deeper message as well.
DeleteOoh, I'm so interested to see what you think of ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES. There has been sooo much hype around it, so it's got to be good, right? Looking forward to your review of it. I hope you enjoy! I'm so glad you liked Faking It! Can't wait for that one!!
ReplyDeleteThere definitely has been a lot of hype, but I'm happy to say that it is living up to those high expectations so far :)
DeleteAHHHH GOOD LUCK SURVIVING ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES. That book is the best thing of ever and ajfdsklaf I have too many feels.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cait! I can tell that I'm going to be needing some tissues at some point so I'll be keeping them close by.
DeleteAll The Bright Places! I hope you enjoy it and survive! Everyone's reactions so far are seriously concerning me lel.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Mel - there have been a lot of emotional gifs going around with reactions and reviews - so far I'm enjoying it but the further I read the more I can tell that this could be a tearjerker for sure!
DeleteAll the bright places?? I hope you like that one! Everyone seems to rave on about it! I'm going to have to look out for this Faking It review. The Intern was quite cute! Have a good week, you! <3
ReplyDeleteIf you liked The Intern, you'll love Faking It Jess - hope you get to reading it soon! :)
DeleteI need All the Bright Places. I NEED IT. I really hope you enjoy it, Eugenia! I'm glad you enjoyed Faking It...I still have to read The Intern! I really enjoyed Matson's Since You've Been Gone, and I've heard great things about Amy & Roger's, so that's one I definitely need to get onto...Safe Haven is a movie I want to see, too. I always enjoy Nicholas Sparks book-to-movie adaptations, though I get the feeling that they're all SO SIMILAR now that I've seen a few. The Notebook will always be my favourite though - Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are just wonderful in that one.
ReplyDeleteThere's been a lot of excitement around All the Bright Places so I'm glad to say that it's really good! YES you need to read The Intern, it's cute and funny and Josie the main character is so relatable! I definitely agree with Nicholas Sparks movie adaptations - I haven't read all of his books but yes, the movies all seem to follow sort of the same storyline. The Notebook is my favourite as well :)
