Book Review (6).

Vicious Little Darlings

Age Appropriate: Young Adult 15+
I would describe this book as a cross between One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and Single White Female.
This book is crazy and that's not to say it's bad, there's so many twists and turns in this book you just don't know what's going on.
So the book starts with Sarah who gets sent to an all girls school , she meets her roommate Maddy  and her best friend Agnes.
Agnes isn't happy with her current roommate so convinces Sarah and Maddy to move into a house off campus where Agnes pays for everything (her parents are rich).
That's when all the weirdness starts, just when you think you have it all figured out you don't.
 You've got Agnes in love and obsessed with Maddy, you have Maddy who has mental problems and you never know if what she's saying  is ever true she is such a flawed character, her and Agnes just seem to be creepy and then there's Sarah who doesn't feel loved so goes around sleeping with it seems any guy she comes across (and even sleeps with Maddy's boyfriend the second time she meets him).
With Sarah she says one thing but then you also get to read what she's really thinking in her head which proves to be quite amusing at times (especially when she starts having doubts about Maddy and Agnes).
And then you have a showdown at the end and I have to admit I never would have guessed at the way it turned out.
So if you're after a book with mental head cases, obsession, sabotage , lies and revenge then check this book out. I give it 4/5

The Catastrophic History Of You And Me - Jess Rothenberg
Dying of a broken heart is just the beginning.... Welcome to forever.

BRIE'S LIFE ENDS AT SIXTEEN: Her boyfriend tells her he doesn't love her, and the news breaks her heart—literally.

But now that she's D&G (dead and gone), Brie is about to discover that love is way more complicated than she ever imagined. Back in Half Moon Bay, her family has begun to unravel. Her best friend has been keeping a secret about Jacob, the boy she loved and lost—and the truth behind his shattering betrayal. And then there's Patrick, Brie's mysterious new guide and resident Lost Soul . . . who just might hold the key to her forever after.

With Patrick's help, Brie will have to pass through the five stages of grief before she's ready to move on. But how do you begin again, when your heart is still in pieces? 


And I Added A Non-Fiction Book Living In Victoria, Australia I Really Want To Read This.

                Kinglake-350 - Adrian Hyland.
On 7 February 2009 Sergeant Roger Wood found himself at the epicentre of the worst bushfire disaster in Australia's history. Black Saturday.

Wood, who's a country cop with twenty years experience—and also a raucous, meditating, horse-riding vegan—was the only officer on duty in the small community of Kinglake. As the firestorm approached he was called out to numerous incidents including multi-fatality car accidents. He led a group of fifty people from a store west of Kinglake four kilometres to safety through burning bush. Minutes before it was completely destroyed.

Then, as the fire raged around him, he phoned his family ten kilometres away to warn them what was coming. When his wife answered, she screamed that the fire had already hit their property. Then the line went dead.

Black Saturday was a many-headed monster in whose wake stories of grief, heroism and desolation erupted all over the state of Victoria. This book is about the monster—and the heroism of those who confronted it.
