10th December: Best Standalone
Okay, so I had a hard time choosing because I read a lot of contemporary, which almost always comes as a standalone. Not complaining though, because I love books that comes on its own.
These are just some of my favourites: (R-L)
All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
I loved Violet so much. I related to how she felt, how she couldn't continue writing anymore after the loss of a loved one. Also this book wasn't 100% cute and butterflies, and while everyone who read it got mad because the characters' problems went unsolved, I thought it was perfect; it's realistic, because in reality people wouldn't notice anything wrong with you either. This book's flaws was what made it perfect. Just like a real human.
This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila Sales
If you've had social problems, difficulty fitting in, the main character's shoes are just perfect for your feet. This book, the protagonist, everything she did to try to fit in; we've all been there before. We all have something we do that gives us another identity; and lastly, we all have love for music in one way or another.
Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
This was unexpected. I went into it without expecting much, maybe because this book was kinda underrated. But I flew through it, it tugged at my heartstrings, despite the fact that the main character was the bully of the story. Also, if you loved Life Is Strange (the game) some of the characters kinda mirror one another in my opinion :p
Dangerous Girls by Abigail Haas
I've talked about this book a few days ago, which you can read here.
READ THE BOOK.
and last but definitely not least, tucked away in the corner there,
The Strange & Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton
Yes yes, I've mentioned this book so many times. But I'm writing about it now because it was the best standalone novel! I'm possibly still having a hangover from this book. A 12-months long hangover. Yep.
Til tomorrow hopefully :)
