Gabbie's bookish thoughts

Goodreads page:  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16099393-soulmates My rating:  3/5 Plot: Poppy.17 year-old college girl with a cynical attitude and a strong love for banana milkshakes. Noah.Teenage rock star.Known as a "man whore".Greatest catch in the city of Middletown. Although these two might not seem like it at first,they happen to be soulmates.However,there's quite a bit of drama brough by that simple fact and it may or may not involve the possibility of the world ending because of them.No pressure.This brings them in the eyes of a secret organisation trying to prevent the end of the world (because who wouldn't),which leads to the two having to choose between ending the world or living their lives without each other. My thoughts on it: This is a well known fact about me,but I'll just say it again: romance,especially when in excess,makes me want to roll my eyes.A lot.Which is obviously why I had really really  low expectations from thi

Goodreads page:   https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23507628-i-was-here My rating:   5/5  What it's about: The story follows our heroine Cody after her best friend Meg's suicide.Cody and Meg have been best friends since early childhood,yet after Meg commits suicide,Cody comes to the conclusion that maybe she's never known Meg at all. Cody doesn't only try to get to know the side of Meg that she's never seen and look for some answers about the dead girl's secret life,but she also finds out things about herself along the way that maybe she's never even known where there. Thoughts on the book: I don't think I have enough words to describe how brilliant this was. I've been highly anticipating this book ever since it was firrst announced,I think.I've been expecting to adore it and have been waiting for it to arrive for what feels like forever,but in the time it took for it to be delivered,I've seen some rev

Goodreads page:   https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22168240-grace-s-guide My rating:   5/5 What this is about: Grace Helbig -one of my personal favourite Youtubers/comedians/persons/some sort of being that appear human,yet I tend to question whether they are or not- sprinkles some of her life lessons upon the masses. Filled with trade-mark Grace-esque comments and jokes,the book comes with tips for being the best possible adult you can possibly be in this particular era (or any,I don't know what is to come/what was before I was here).This comes with tips for things like getting over a hangover and break-up to doing a shameless walk of shame and making a carb-full dinner.It's got all the tips you need (and if it doesn't,you can just add more,probably). Thoughts: Although I might be a little biased because of my love for everything that Grace Helbig does,I do have to say that this book was a bit of a masterpiece.It wasn't just great content wise,b
