Underrated books recommendations 20/3

I've read so many books in 2016 so far! I thought I'd share some here. These are the last 4 books I've read, and I've realised they're all pretty underrated and not overhyped on Booktube =)

Read Between The Lines / Jo Knowles

The first chapter begins with a constantly-bullied guy who fractures his finger during gym class; his middle finger, no less. The accident's left his middle finger up always, making him constantly flipping off the entire world.

What makes this book unique is how it doesn't have just one or two points of view, but ten. Ten different perspectives, ten different characters, ten different lives, all that intertwine within a day. One chapter could mention how bitchy a character is; and then when you get to the perspective of that bitchy character, you see a different side of her.

This book makes you think twice before judging someone by putting you into the shoes of different types of teenagers and know what they're thinking. I really loved this one, despite picking it out randomly at the library.

Daughters Unto Devils / Amy Lukavics

Amanda's family decides to move from their small mountain cabin to the prairie, where she decides is a place and time for a fresh start, after being shunned by a boy she thought loved her. Well, you already know by the cover that creepy shit happens.

It's best going into this book without knowing anything about it, like all great books. But just know, the writing gave me goosebumps and some of the paragraphs were really on point. I was scared to read this by myself, no joke, and yet I couldn't stop reading it til after midnight. (with my mom beside me)

I loved the setting of this book, somewhere in the 1900's I think, not too sure? But it did add to the story. It just felt like that typical horror movie where everything else is really quiet and nothing much happens, and then you get near the ending and SHIT HITS THE FAN.

They All Fall Down / Roxanne St. Claire

Every year, 10 junior girls are selected as Vienna High's hottest girls. Our main character has never been popular or even noticed, and yet she makes it 5th on this list. Great for her, isn't it? Well other than the fact that she thinks this list thing is retarded, the girls on it start dying one by one, in the order of that list...

It really was a great premise, and the writing makes you stick with it, dying to find out more, but personally for me, the revelation wasn't very top-notch and didn't seem well-planned, and the ending wasn't so satisfying. But that's just my personal thought, you should read it for yourself to know =)

52 Reasons To Hate My Father / Jessica Brody

Lexington Larrabee is the heiress to the multi-billion-dollar Larrabee Media empire, and her father, the CEO of said company, gives a trust fund of 25 million dollars to each of his children, aka Lexi and her 4 older brothers, when they turn 18.

Lexi has been counting down the days to her eighteenth birthday, but then she crashes her car into a convenience store, drunk, a few days before. What's a spoilt brat got to do when her father decides to hold that 25m dollars from her??? She's got to work 52 low-wage jobs, every week for a year, that's what.

It was a lot of fun to read, and honestly even though she's a spoilt brat I thought Lexi was kinda adorable. The misery she went through, her doses of bad luck, were all too hilarious to read about. I thought she went through such a huge character development, from a brat to a strong and smart woman.

I liked this kind of books in secondary school, and that's why I enjoyed this one so much =)

All these books are underrated and are hardly noticed, so do give them a try =) They were all such unique and fun reads which stick to you for a long time, be it positively or not xD
