Happy New Year everyone! How are you? I hope you’re doing well. I also hope you had a great Christmas if you celebrate it and a wonderful New Years! I wish you all the best for this year.
At the beginning of 2021 I set a goal to read more books as last year I only managed to read approximately 4, however, this years total was a grand 21!
The end of the month means another ‘Books I Read in…’ post so here it is.
DISCLAIMER: May include SPOILERS! Read at your own risk! I am not trying to claims any of these books of my own. All rights go to the authors.
1) ’Stay Another Day’ by Juno Dawson.
SPOILER ALERT!!! TW: EATING DISORDER. 16+
Four sleeps till Christmas. Three siblings. One BIG secret. The McAllister house on Aboretum Road has seen 120 Christmasses since its completion. This year, FERN is bringing her gorgeous boyfriend home and she wants everything to be perfect. But her twin brother ROWAN would rather go on the pull than pull crackers with the family. And their younger sister WILLOW is terrified of Christmas Day. With only FOUR sleeps till Christmas, THREE secretive siblings, TWO hot house guests, and ONE juicy secret… this Christmas there will be some BIG surprises under the tree.
Date Started: 13/12/2021. Date Finished: 28/12/2021. Rating: 4/5.
I enjoyed this book a lot, however, I wasn’t particularly happy with the ending. Fern and Hamish were endgame for me and I’m happy they ended up together. Rowan and Thom were also endgame and I’m happy that they also ended up together. But I was disappointed the Willow and Syd didn’t end up together. I was rooting for them, especially with how much Syd helped Willow with her ED. The character progression throughout this book is insane. Drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat with the turn of every page. A great Christmassy read for this time of year!
What have you read this December? I would love to know so please leave a comment.
Have an amazing January and an amazing New Year!
