Daniel Handler: Why We Broke Up – review

I was lent this book by my friend Lois, after she had gotten back into reading and was enjoying similar books to me. I had never heard of this book before, but Lois rated it extremely highly; the illustrations also caught my attention and so I was suitably intrigued to read. Only later did I discover Daniel Handler is the author of the widely acclaimed 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'!

David Levithan: Boy Meets Boy – review

I picked up 'Boy Meets Boy' when I saw it on my library's LGBTQ+ History Month stand. The plot sounded fairly basic, but I am a huge fan of David Levithan's book 'Will Grayson, Will Grayson' which he co-wrote with John Green - in fact, it is one of my favourite books of all time - so I thought I would give it a go!

Lisa Williamson: The Art of Being Normal – review

'The Art of Being Normal' has been on my TBR list for almost a year now, so I decided it was time to pick it up whilst I was in the mood for YA. In addition, I have read hardly any books which address LGBTQ+ issues despite it being a topic close to my heart, and I thought it was about time I changed that!
