Leigh-Ann Brodber’s Top 5 Books
Probably the best book that I’ve read so far for 2016, “Flawed” is a YA masterpiece. The novel perfectly depicts the many things that are wrong within our society and puts a fictional twist on it. I rooted for Celestine as she came out victorious after going through the most painful moments in her life.
This book went far beyond my expectations. I’d figured that it would be an easy summer read that I’d forget by the time school started back. However, the characters, the plot and the issues discussed in this novel will stay with me long after the summer vacation is over.
Occasionally, I look for books that are a light read like “Identity Crisis”. The novel is filled with unnecessary drama among a group of girls and I loved every moment of it.
I judged this novel too harshly before I started reading it because I thought it was just another novel speaking about sexual activity among Young Adults. I was so wrong. “Firsts” deals with and addresses issues that every Young Adult can relate to.
Family curses and high expectations are the main themes in this YA novel. Even though I thought the plot was predictable and the characters not truly relatable, I loved reading the swoon-worthy romance and the well-developed background stories.
