Book Summary:

Imagine waking up in the dead of night to find your hot new neighbour dangling out of your window. What’s more, he's clutching your tattiest bra in his hand.
What. The. Actual. Fudge.
When bad boy Alec Wilde moves in next door to Riley, sparks fly. After their 'unconventional' introduction, Riley is determined to get her own back. A nemesis is just the distraction she needs: inside, she's barely holding it together. It's game on.
But behind the banter, there's a side to Alec that Riley actually likes. How can she get through to the real him when she can't even take herself seriously?
Book Review:
When I heard about A Bad Boy Stole My Bra I was excited about the concept of this book. I really enjoy books with a swoon-worthy romance and those that have comedic elements. ABBSMB does actually that it offers a romance that you will eat and is such a light tone that makes it a great read.

Let's get the negatives out the way first. There were just things I didn't really like. I mean it is a small thing but there's no swearing in the book. This is probably because when writing the book, the author was quite young so she might not want to do it but in place, we get these other words like grasshole which is used a lot. It's such a small thing but I did find it annoying to read it all the time.

I did really like the overall tone of the book, it was comedic and fun, definitely a good read. This was partly due to the prank war involvement which was fun and unique which was one of the reasons why I highly enjoyed the book. This lead to the connection between Alec and Riley. I really liked seeing their relationship grow over the course of the novel and seeing the romance bloom. It was a hate/love relationship which I kind of didn't enjoy but this was a small part of the story so it didn't affect my enjoyment that much. I also raced through the second part of this book and devoured it, it was definitely a quick read. 

There was also anxiety representation in this book which definitely added to the light romance story as diversity is not included in these stories. Although a small part of the book, it was still a good representation and it was nice to see. This was also seen with the lesbian couple in the book as this was a good touch and it was a nice part of diversity and representation.
The Verdict:
A Bad Boy Stole My Bra is the perfect summer read full of romance and comedy. It a great funny YA novel.

My Reading Tastes Are Changing

For the last couple of years, I feel like this has become a reoccurring blog post but I want to talk about it now because I think something is actually happening in my reading life. My reading tastes are changing. I've felt it for a while. I haven't really been drawn to YA titles that much anymore especially contemporary. Being busy in my time, I have been really selective in the books that I pick up so for me: the shorter, the better. And when picking up shorter books, the less likely they are to be YA. The more I am exposed to more books, the more I get to read books that I connect to Some of the books that I have picked up have really surprised me because of how much I ended up enjoying them. I think as I grow older, I am looking for different stories, different experiences and different perspectives. These don't just fit the YA mould. I also have been really into different genres like horror and the occasional thriller which have not read from before and I'm interes

Favourite Graphic Novels & Manga of 2021

As I have read a lot of books this year, I always want to give graphic novels and manga their own celebration as they often get overlooked and do make up a lot of my reading. I also find that even though I read a lot of them, it takes a lot to convince me and make it a new favourite. So here are my best... Heartstopper Volume 4 by Alice Oseman  Like everyone on the internet, I too am a massive Heartstopper fan and Volume 4 is no different. I love the relationship of Nick and Charlie and the side characters also make the series. This one also explores the way that mental health can impact romance and it still does justice to the story and does not fall into cliches. I am eagerly anticipating the final volume but I don't want it to be over.  The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott by Zoe Thorogood One of the last graphic novels I read this year and the one that has the second amount of hype, The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott also leaves a lasting impression. I love a good Briti

Book Review: The Great Godden by Meg Rossoff

   * I am reviewing this book which I was gifted for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts are my own. * Title: The Great Godden  Author: Meg Rossoff Publisher: Bloomsbury  Source: NetGalley ( Bookshop UK |  Hive |  Goodreads  |  Storygraph ) Book Summary: Everyone talks about falling in love like it’s the most miraculous, life-changing thing in the world. Something happens, they say, and you know … That’s what happened when I met Kit Godden. I looked into his eyes and I knew. Only everyone else knew too. Everyone else felt exactly the same way. This is the story of one family, one dreamy summer – the summer when everything changes. In a holiday house by the sea, our watchful narrator sees everything, including many things they shouldn’t, as their brother and sisters, parents and older cousins fill hot days with wine and games and planning a wedding. Enter two brothers – irresistible, charming, languidly sexy Kit and surly, silent Hugo. Suddenly there’s
