Look at me actually continuing with this series! ^^

Amazing. I loved every page of it.

I am trying to gather my thoughts. I loved the beginning and the ending of the book! I have a problem with the middle part being confusing. I had trouble keeping my mind with the book at that point and that makes me sad, because I really, really liked the start.
The Exiled starts out very promising with good writing. The author knows how to suck the reader into the book, which I can really appreciate! But then when I came to the middle part of the book it lacked the flow it had at the start. I kept on reading, because I wanted to feel the same way I did in the beginning. I refound this feeling at the end. The last couple of chapters were of the same substance as the beginning.

When reading the book the reader follows three main characters, who are each given chapters from their own perspectives. This works pretty well and is handled well by the author. The characters are quite likeable and their own perspectives definitely adds to the story. I do believe the story could've been even better when it wasn't as confusing as it was at times, aka the middle part.

Meh, zelfs voor kinderen vind ik het boek saai

Het andere boek dat leerlingen mochten kiezen voor hun summatieve opdracht was “No Exit” van Maren Stoffels! En het was een ride! Wat een goed jeugdboek.
Alleen jammer dat een bepaald iets niet meer is uitgelegd in het boek, maar verder echt top.
Mijn leerlingen genieten met volle teugen van dit boek.

This just wasn't my book. Way too much vajajay talk ... Every page was filled with synonyms to the vulva. Ehh.

Rtc. Dit boek heb ik gekregen. Binnenkort lees ik dit boek voor aan mijn brugklassen (kader/mavo/havo). Zeer benieuwd wat zij hiervan vinden! :)

Jaaaa, alle boeken herlezen van de Hoe overleef ik-serie! Deze boeken waren mijn jeugd.

HOI Met/zonder gescheiden ouders is het nieuwe eerste deel. Vroeger was dat HOI mijn vakantie. Ik vond dit echt geen slecht deel, maar toch miste er iets ... het vroegere eerste deel vond ik helemaal fantastisch ... Rosa voelde anders aan in dit boek.

Alsnog was het een leuk boek en raad ik het zeker aan!

Spannende jeugdthriller! Het boek houdt je vanaf het begin tot ná de ontknoping in spanning.
Top geschreven!

Wow! Ik heb dit boek gelezen, omdat ik het wilde bespreken in een van mijn klassen. Echter, dit boek is nog te zwaar voor mijn leerlingen. Misschien over twee jaar, dan hebben ze die leeftijd.

Het boek kampt met moeilijke, taboe, onderwerpen. Judith Visser heeft er zeker voor gezorgd dat ik op het puntje van mijn stoel zat. Ik wilde hoe dan ook verder lezen over Elizabeth en Riley en Alec. En dan die ontknoping!!! WOWOWOW.

Ik blijf wel nog met wat vragen zitten, maar ik vond het overall echt een goed geschreven boek.

TW: Pesten, zelfverminking, anorexia, suïcidale gedachten, loverboys, obsessie, aanranding.

Meh. It was just meh.

Spannende jeugdthriller geschreven door de geweldige Mel Wallis de Vries!
Ze weet de spanning heel goed op te bouwen en je blijft op het puntje van je stoel zitten tot aan het einde, ook al weet je al eerder wie het gedaan heeft (misschien).
Top boek!

This series is about a teenage girl who happens to stumble into a parallel universe where people mistakenly assume she is her alternate, genius, self. The life of the genius is in danger. These books are great short reads, they are full of action and are very fast paced. They keep the reader hooked.

The characters are quirky. I ADORE them. I seriously did not think I would love these characters as much as I do now after finishing the third book. The story is compelling and the writing by the author is fantastic and surely whimsical at points.
I loved the romance between Laney and Noah so much. Star crossed lovers. Their romance definitely adds up to the amazing story it already was. As a reader you are rooting for them.

This series is great for readers who are looking for a fast paced, action packed, romantic, quirky and still want substance to their story. This series was more than just romance or action. It had a layer of trust and friendship which is a beautiful thing to discover while reading.

Thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy of her books. Although the books were gifted does not mean it will influence my thoughts. This is an 100% honest review

It was ok.

I loved the artwork. The story is cute.
I hope the author finishes the story at some point ^^

Reread 2021: still enjoyed it a lot. Bit less than three years ago, hence the lower rating.

Rating 2018: 4,75 stars.

Ugh, what a book.
Yep, I did not like it.

The assassin is the worst assassin in assassin history, you can't tell me otherwise.

RTC.

Reread 2021: I uh still don't like this part. I always like the beginning and then the middle part and last part just feel flat and meh.
My original rating of Insurgent was three stars, but I decided to lower it to two stars since I did not enjoy my reread as much.

I do like some of the plot twists, but I'm getting bored with Tobias and Tris tbh

Great book! I love Thomas ❤️

2,75 stars.
It makes me sad that I did not like the book I was hoping to like so much.
The story and the characters fell flat for me. It kind of felt like someone wrote a fanfiction and decided to publish it (I'm so sorry).

I did like the boldness of the main character. I love me some strong ass women in stories! :D
The ending was the best part of the book in my opinion.

I am still conflicted if I want to read the second book or if I'm just gonna let this one drift away.

My eyes are sweating. I just can't. I'm so emotional rn 😭

Rtc :)

Absolutely adored this one.

I liked the beginning, it had good and beautiful quotes. But after like thirty pages or something it felt so negative and repetitive. It really focuses on the negative side of dieting instead of on body positivity in my opinion.

I really hoped this book would've changed my feelings about my body, because I'm also at the curvy/plusside, but alas, it did not.
