Book review: "It's Kind of a Funny Story" by Ned Vizzini

Warning: major spoilers ahead and discussion of mental health issues.

I get a lot of reading recommendations from friends and family, and while I don't always read every single thing I get recommended by them I do consider all of them. My sister came to visit (a shamefully long while ago now) and lent me a few books, among them was It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini. After reading the blurb I was a little unsure of it, but hoped that the title was a little more self-deprecating than literal.

Book review: "The Rosie Project" by Greame Simsion

Warning: likely spoilers below!

I borrowed The Rosie Project from my mother, who had told me it was very funny and really good, and pretty much just started reading it without thinking about it too hard. I had no preconceptions about it and I feel that this approach was actually quite refreshing, as normally I find I have some idea of how I want things to go in books I read.

Book review: "Outsider" by KlairedeLys

Warning: spoilers ahead!

I have been a follower of KlairedeLys on various social media platforms (particularly YouTube) for a long time, and when she said she had written and published Outsider I was interested but didn't get a chance to read the book until recently, when my younger sister lent it to me.
