This book is definitely not like The Fault in Our Stars nor Six Feet Apart, or any other book about sickness that's sad, lonely, and romantic. This book is a book that is on it's own, and love it for being like that.

This book is so much more than it says what it is. I love that the book shed a light on 'invisible illnesses'. It's…Read more

I'm not very into reading fantasy (so I might not be the best person to review this). But I was honestly interested in reading this. That cover was really amazing and I really liked it. But the story didn't really land to well in my opinion.

As I was reading this, I thought it had a Cinderella-ish feel in the story. There are…Read more

This is one of those books that a reader can learn from. This is the first YA book that I read that talks about being intersex. And I think that's special.

Birdie and Daniel has the most awkward first encounter. So when Birdie started her job in a historic hotel, she never thought she could see Daniel again. Birdie, being a mystery-aficionado that she is, could not say no to Daniel's adventure in solving a mystery right in the historic hotel that they work at. But being in Daniel's…Read more

Ronit & Jamil has been a wonderful ride. It actually surprised me that it was written in prose. but then again Romeo and Juliet was written in somewhat the same way because it’s a play.

in a way, i don’t understand why this book has low ratings. i guess, this book is not for everybody. if…Read more

I really relate to this book very much. Most especially with Pen. This book was so honest. Many symbolisms but the most profound symbolism is dinosaurs.

this is the type of book that you seem to annalize. Maybe it was just me who annalized it but it definitely brought the sense of having hidden meanings, hidden messages,…Read more

This is the reason why I picked up this book. June 12 is the day of our Independence. And I thought this would be a good way to celebrate: by reading a book by a Fil-Am author about an immigrant girl.
