1. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

GET IT ON AMAZON

This book is heartwarming and heartbreaking all the same time. It seemed like the relationship between Eleanor and Park shouldn’t work, but it does, so well.

I was grinning like an idiot while reading because I was just so giddy over their blooming romance. I could feel how much they cared for each other like it was oozing off the page.

“Eleanor was right. She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn’t supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.” I kind of like the girl the author depicts.

She is unique to me. She is not pretty but attractive. She bears patiently on those terrible things that happened to her — — being bullied by classmates and suffering harsh treatment from her stepdad…I can’t imagine what would happen if those sufferings happened to me.

However, I wouldn’t say it is the best book that I’ve read. It was kind of disappointing that when I was trying to dig something deeper into this story, I didn’t see what the author was trying to say. Frankly, I think this book only stays on the surface.

When I saw the author’s photos, I feel like she is writing her own story. Maybe? I don’t know…

2. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

GET IT ON AMAZON

Sometimes people don’t understand the promises they’re making when they make them Love is keeping the promise anyway. Not sure what it means to those who listen. But love is keeping promises no matter what.

This is the most straightforward and irrefutable definition of love I’ve seen. I like. The sky was gray and low and full of rain but not yet raining.

Well, this has always been the kind of weather I hate the most, bar none. …with this swing set, your child(ren) will be introduced to the ups and downs of human life gently and safely, and may also learn the most important lesson of all: No matter how hard you kick, no matter how high you get, you can’t go all the way round.

This is the ad for the swing by Hazel and Gus, it’s awesome. After writing down my wish list, I will prepare a swing for my baby. “I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things.

I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, are for the living. Some words are for special people, and some are not for everyone. So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. Beauty is fleeting. Like flowers and beautiful family members, like a homecoming.

The marks humans leave are too often scars. It is like this. Come gently, go gently, even if you can’t help the world, at least leave a little harm. She was loved deeply but not widely.

But it’s not sad. This is my ideal state. No matter how many people are around, no one is your fault, what good is it?

You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. Echoing the previous sentence: It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.

3. Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender

GET IT ON AMAZON

The highlight of this book is that the scenes of the characters are well described, such as street scenes, and the description of inner emotions.

You can see that the text is simple, but it makes people feel very sincere and powerful writing. What is lacking is that the plot is exactly what I guessed before, the characters too easy to get angry, and it is a bit black and white.

The friends who broke up were not reconciled. In the beginning, D only chatted with the male protagonist for a day or two and said that he might fall in love with him. It was too fast and a bit fake.

Since he fell in love with being rejected by the male protagonist, he didn’t write any follow-up, and he didn’t seem to be so in love. It was the first time I read a transgender novel.

This theme is also very good as a growth novel. Kind of a YA novel. How a teenager transformed into a strong mature man found love. The male protagonist doesn’t know if he is bisexual.

For a period of time, he feels like a woman, and for a while, he likes a man. Is he like a man because of true love or because he likes the gender of a man, he is also said to be bored by his girlfriend who is pursuing and rejecting it.

I have to say that it is much more difficult for transgender people to live in this society than homosexuals, and the human body cannot rely on misplaced reproductive organs.

4. The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon

GET IT ON AMAZON

It was recommended by the same friend who recommended the hate u give to me. I kept thinking of that book during the reading process, maybe because the protagonists have a special Racial background.

But the focus of the two books is very different. In contrast, a lot of this book is about the relationship between Daniel and Natasha.

I like this description of the same thing from different perspectives, probably because I long for the perspective of God but can never get it, and sometimes I want to know which of my actions move others and which actions make others sad.

Although many people think this book is very Cheesy, the whole book feels very comfortable and smooth.

However, what I paid more attention to was actually the collision of Daniel and Natasha’s worldviews. After all, this kind of thing that only met for a day and decided that it was Soulmate was too unsuitable for me.

Funny, I feel like I’m a mix of Daniel and Natasha. Daniel pursued his passion, believed hopelessly in love, and gave up his future as a Yale doctor to become a poet just because he thought his short life shouldn’t be wasted on things that didn’t give him his passion, in a way, I’ve also always believed in spending time on things that you truly love. But… how do you find something you love? And Natasha does not believe in fate, or in love.

Maybe because I am very confused, I also prefer certain things, what exactly is international business? Please give me a brain that can do the DATA industry. After all, this kind of thing is well-founded and it feels really good to be in your own hands.

Also, Asian Boys like Daniel are so cute!

5. The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo

GET IT ON AMAZON

Where Elizabeth lives, although the status of men and women is clearly differentiated, she is fortunate to have an older brother who encourages her.

While she was still in school, her brother gave her a nice notebook so she could write down all her thoughts, which eventually became this book of poetry.

I see her life in this collection of poems, whether it is the ignorance of childhood or the confusion of adolescence, and

Writing may have become the only way for Elizabeth to avoid injury. She was disciplined by her mother to go to church to pray, but the church’s discipline made her feel that what matters to her is not between her ears, but between her legs.

When she got her period for the first time, she was anxious to find out the reason on her own and stole the money to buy tampons for herself.

But when her mother found out, she was beaten by her mother, because “cotton sliver is something bad girls use”, and her mother even said to pray for her.

Elizabeth wrote “When I’m told / to wait, to stop, to listen”, I knew that Elizabeth would not obey, and in her laughing world, she began to realize that women should not be bound like this.

Through these poems, she is not only telling about her own life but also about the lives of many women. Elizabeth later wrote that “I feel like a liar at times like this,” because she agreed with the church, but knew that these “truths” didn’t need to be followed.

Some of the ideas mentioned in the poem, in my opinion, today, are all demeaning to women, but they were all deeply believed ideas in the past.

There are too many women who are influenced by this kind of thinking, but there are still people who try to break through the shackles and let people see the real correct ideas through their own efforts.

Even though there are too many women, they are all hidden in the shadow of history, but they have not given up.

In the end, we will all be like Elizabeth, like birds, free to fly.

6. They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera

GET IT ON AMAZON

Finally finished it. In the beginning, it’s not really easy to see, and the setting is very novel. When Mateo and Rufus go out together and get to know each other slowly, they see it faster. I like the description of their ambiguous period, and the secret probing or something is the best to watch.

Because of the life-and-death prophecy brought by the Death-Cast alert and the big “Die” in the title of the book, their feelings are destined to be tragic.

But in the process, they escaped explosions again and again, and they had near-miss experiences such as gun fights, and Dalilah, who seemed to be very likely to violate DC’s prophecy, all made me hopeful that they could survive. But the ending still hit me in the head.

Even though the fate of Rufus and Dalilah is unknown, I don’t think Rufus, who has lost Mateo, has the courage to keep trying to live.

Regarding Death Cast alert, there is a page in the physical book devoted to sorting out the interpersonal relationships of all the characters in the book, as well as Delilah’s initial ignorance of the death warning and the crisis she avoided, making me suspect that DC is calculating a relationship by studying interpersonal relationships. possibility of human death.

Romance-Books

When the probability is high enough, they will issue an early warning. Decker, who has been warned, will have certain psychological hints, emphasizing the ordinary but risky things in life, and then due to Murphy’s Law, he will eventually make the “choice” of death.

7. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz

GET IT ON AMAZON

This is a trickle written in words. It has been flowing quietly and slowly, taking you through the grasslands and deserts, taking you to appreciate the starlight, and taking you into the storm. Poetic and beautiful.

I didn’t expect the ending to be like this, and I didn’t expect to be able to write such delicate thoughts in Dubai’s spoken language.

The author outlines the temperature, depth, and breadth of emotion in extremely brief words. He deliberately ignores a lot of things, but he gives the story an artistic sense that is as poetic as it is a sketch.

Like Ari in the book, he spent his whole life looking for but didn’t know what he was looking for. This frustration and loneliness filled him with anger.

When his parents opened the knot for him when he needed it most, I was moved to tears. It turned out that they could see everything in their eyes, but held back and said nothing.

To make it clear to you, they can open up their deepest fears to you. This lonely, rebellious, taciturn, unpopular child turned out to have been deeply in love and loved.

8. Heartstopper: Volume 1 by Alice Oseman

GET IT ON AMAZON

It depicts a model of healthy relationships, from love to friendship to family, and the biggest impression is that it would be great if this cartoon could be popularized among middle school students and parents in the country.

Everyone attaches great importance to each other’s feelings, carefully observes each other’s emotions and states, and is ready to talk to them, but respect their personal wishes.

Everyone is also very brave, daring to show their love and dare to speak their true thoughts. The most touching thing is that Nick’s mother said, I’m sorry I ever made you feel like you couldn’t tell me that.

For most people in our context, listening and understanding is a luxury, not to mention the struggle to reveal a secret to be seen.

Anyway, my parents didn’t give me a sense of “you can tell me anything”, maybe because they never said it directly, maybe because of disappointment and more self-loathing after I confided.

After reading this manga, I can really accept that the protagonist is younger than me. The ability to know how to love is sometimes not positively correlated with age.

Although the protagonists are only 15 or 16 years old, everyone is trying to find out how to respect others in love and how to maintain themselves, and they have done it very well. While feeling healed, it also gave me a sense that we were far from civilized.

Even the normal needs of heterosexual groups are mainly ignored and suppressed in the middle schools of the country, not to mention the completely invisible minority groups.

When can it be recognized that the ability to love is a very important thing, giving the flowers and plants under the reinforced concrete enough space for them to grow normally?

9. To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han

GET IT ON AMAZON

Why is this book so popular? What is the typical image of a girl of Asian descent in the West? good girl? Straight A student? only read?

I finished reading “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” in one breath. It’s very smooth and very easy to read. It is recommended for adolescent children and college students to read it.

This trilogy of best-selling novels that high school girls in Europe and America are reading right now is sure to break your glasses (if you have one).

I’m sorry, Asian girls are the king of scheming, and the queen of best-selling books, Jenny Han, is based on the aunt’s own experience in the past to create the first love of the three American-Korean mixed-race sisters in the book — I’m sorry, it’s not impossible to have both fish and bear’s paw, Mistress, I just want to learn and love!

“To all the Boys I have loved before” is for the boys who had loved that year. In fact, her first love was only one boy, hahaha, how can there be boys?

The heroine is not the only child, nor is she the queen of the family. She has an older sister above and a younger sister below. And the sisters are deeply in love, and the sisters talk about everything.

Of course, this kind of relationship also has advantages and disadvantages. For example, her sister intervenes too much, causing her second sister to not be able to go to the school she likes.

Of course, since it is a novel, there are also many twists & turns. It is not smooth sailing, pure and simple, there are young teenagers who misunderstand and break up and then sweetly reunite, there are family reorganizations, and there are confusions about choosing a university.

Read it casually, and it may be possible for a simple middle school student in the West to fall in love. I feel that her boyfriend’s three views are quite positive, and he is a super warm man.

In the end, although the western parents of the heroine are both married, their love and three views on their children are quite positive, and they are the most enviable couple in the book.

It has a very positive three views, very warm family, love, and friendship plots. It is absolutely fascinating, but it does not have any preaching and will not feel boring.

Sorry, they robbed the heroine of the halo. In the end, the heroine’s love, Happy Ending, may be right for the public.

10. Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

GET IT ON AMAZON

I really enjoyed the story, from the characters to the plot to their romance. God, this book is so beautiful that words can’t describe it.

In the middle of the journey, I cried several times, not because of abuse but because of happiness, dare you to believe it! ! That “it’s 2019 we finally got a fairy book long overdue” joy!!

Let’s not mention the wonderful writing of the flowing clouds and flowing water first. I am really lucky to see this book in this environment.

In this incredibly romantic letter, two of the world’s most famous teenagers use words to describe an untraceable past and steal an impossible future from each other’s arms.

The future came unprepared, and their whispers were magnified in front of the world.

They decided to start making history.

I first saw the introduction of this book because the setting of “the president’s son fell in love with the British prince” was too attractive. Later, when I started reading, I found that the title identity is really exquisitely designed. No matter the protagonist or the supporting role, it is not only just symbolic characters.

This is no longer a simple love story, but a memorable epic in a parallel world full of love and freedom.

The author wrote in the postscript that the world I created is not 100% beautiful, but it is slightly better than the current one.

It’s hard to measure how much better the world in the book is than the real world, but the existence of this book in today’s world makes me feel a little bit better now.
