Book Review: Some Kind of Wonderful by Giovanna Fletcher!

I just finished Some Kind of Wonderful by Giovanna Fletcher and it was fabulous! 5/5 stars!

You might know Giovanna as "Gi" through her YouTube channel and her marriage to Tom Fletcher (band member of McFly and McBusted) Her personality definitely shows through in this story especially as it's set in Essex which is also where Gi is from.

We follow Lizzy as she goes through a break up after being committed to Ian for ten years. It is a story of self discovery and I love that the ending was not as predictable as I thought it would be. (I accidentally spoiled myself by reading the name at the top of the final chapter!!) I also love that the characters were each explored on their own as Lizzy interacted with them. For example, Lizzy's Dad tells her that he is gay while they are running together.

To begin with I felt cautious about reading a book about a break up as I broke up with my own boyfriend quite recently, however, this book gave me hope that there's life after loss and you are your own person without anyone beside you. Lizzy finds herself and has her own interests.

As a side note:

I will be publishing book reviews as and when I finish books but I plan to do this at least once a month. I am quite a slow reader but when I get into a book and have a free afternoon I will get through it that day! (Is anyone else like this?)

I have added a link to a blog that guides you through YA book releases in 2018. I love lists and wish I could make one as efficient as this - I will definitely be looking at this list throughout the year to guide my reading choices and my book reviews. http://wanderingsofabookbird.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/your-guide-to-2018-ya-releases.html

I have also already published this post on bloglovin' which you can find the link to here but it didn't post on my blog! (Technology, hey?)

5/5 stars! Heartwarming and empowering!
