Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi – Quote

A little while ago, I finished reading Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi and loved it. It is such a stunning story that really makes you think about your life. It is packed full of beautiful quotes, so, I wanted to do what I normally do with a book that I enjoy, which is pick a quote from it and get designing.

Five Survive – Holly Jackson

Eighteen year old Red and her friends are on a road trip in an RV, heading to the beach for Spring Break. It’s a long drive but spirits are high. Until the RV breaks down in the middle of nowhere. There’s no mobile phone reception and nobody around to help. And as the wheels are shot out, one by one, the friends realise that this is no accident. There’s a sniper out there in the dark watching them and he knows exactly who they are. One of the group has a secret that the sniper is willing to kill for.

Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute – Talia Hibbert

After reading and loving the Brown Sisters trilogy by Talia Hibbert, I was beyond excited to see she was releasing a YA romance novel. I have to say, I was a little bit apprehensive going into this one as I wasn’t too sure how her writing would translate from adult romance to YA romance. Let me tell you, she did it wonderfully! Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute is such an adorable, heart-warming and fun YA romance that I would highly recommend.

Six Times We Almost Kissed (And One Time We Did) – Tess Sharpe

Six Times We Almost Kissed (And One Time We Did) is already on my list for best reads of 2023 and will no doubt be staying there. It is a wonderful young adult slow-burn romance story with LGBTQ+ characters and heavy-hitting themes. It is one of those books that I will not be forgetting about any time soon.

A Million to One – Adiba Jaigirdar

I’ve been looking forward to reading A Million to One ever since it was announced, what feels like years ago. So, I had some high expectations when I finally got the opportunity to read it. This is a high-stakes heist on the seas and was a lot of fun to read. I have to say it didn’t live up to all of my expectations but I did enjoy it.

The Way I Used to Be – Amber Smith

The Way I Used to Be is a truly unforgettable book that I will forever be recommending. It is an extraordinary portrayal of trauma and I don’t think a book has made me as emotional as this one in a long time. I would highly recommend this book but please ensure you check the trigger warning before going in. TW: Rape, sexual assault, substance abuse.
