Favourite Books With Multiple POV’s

For me personally I am not a massive fan of POV’s in books. I find the more people you have narrating a book, the more difficult it becomes to read and to understand what’s happening or happened 

The Brighton Mermaid 
Though the book is mainly told from Nell’s perspective, there are a few parts where it’s told from the past or by someone else. Dorothy Koomson has done it really well

The Ice Cream Girls 
There is never enough praise for The Ice Cream Girls that I can give. As someone who isn’t a massive fan of multiple POV’s there is something about this book that makes it so special. The POV’s in this is in 4 parts. Poppy and Serena as teenagers when everything happened and them as adults 17 years later. It flows really well 









Goodnight, Beautiful 
Though it’s mainly told by Nova, the chapters that Stephanie has are just heartbreaking 


Reconstructing Amelia 
What I like about this books POV’s is that it’s both moving forward and backwards in Kate’s life as she tries to figure out what happened to Amelia and moving on with her own life.  

Characters I’d Love To Be BFF’s With

This weeks TTT is all about characters I’d love to be BFFs with.  Also a day late

Ginny Weasley 
Ginny has been one of my favourite females in books since the Harry Potter books came out. I love how she stands out in a big family 

Kamryn 
All that Kamryn has gone through with Adele and Nate and still loving Tegan and wanting what’s best for her 

Stephanie (Goodnight, Beautiful)
I think Stephanie needs a friend that she can rely on. I think that everyone needs someone that they can rely on in any situation, someone that isn’t a family member or partner and Stephanie doesn’t have that person in her life.  

Nell (The Brighton Mermaid 🧜‍♀️)
I love how Nell is determined to get justice for her friend. 


Emily (The Devil Wears Prada)
Emily is one of those characters that I read about and just loved, and even wanted to be like. I like how she is one of those people who isn’t afraid to admit that she idolizes Miranda, that she loves her job, or to tell you how it is 


Poppy (The Ice Cream Girls)
I think Poppy needs someone to look out for her, before and after prison. She isn’t as close to her siblings as Serena is because of the age difference 

Lavender (Harry Potter)
I don’t know what it is about Lavender that I liked on the later Harry Potter books but I really liked her.  


Luna (Harry Potter)
I think Luna is one of those characters that brings out the crazy in you. She would bring out the randomness of any situation.

Start Reading Date: July 20th 2019
End Reading Date: August 7th 2019
My Goodreads Rating: 2*

I picked the book up, and wasn’t planned on reading it so soon, but I decided to because I couldn’t get into the other books. Going into the book I am hoping that it is as good as people say it is. 

70 Pages In
I am a bit 50:50 on the book so far. 

150ish Pages in
I’m still 50:50 about the book. There are some parts where I’m like ‘This is an amazing book’ and other parts I’m thinking ‘What am I Reading’. I don’t have the urge to keep picking it up, and when I do I don’t mind reading one or two pages at a time. 


200 pages in
Now that I am pretty far into the story, it’s not the best book I’ve read. It’s pretty much all over the place,




I really am struggling while reading the book. I can’t deal with the randomness of the book. How can a Book this bad have so many people loving it. I’m just hoping it gets better.  

I don’t even know what page I am on, how anyone thinks that this books is a good love story is beyond me. It’s cheesy, predictable and plain rubbish. 

I saw a good review on the book and in paraphrasing it ‘Has Anyone noticed the message of the book is Disabled life isn’t worth living’ and I couldn’t agree more. 


I feel as if it’s just a cheesy love story with extra cheese for good measure, and this is coming from someone who loves a good cheesy romance book. 

By the time I finished it I lost all will to live. I gave it a 2* just because there where parts that were really cute and sweet, but it was confusing when they would talk and it seemed like someone else was in the conversation but wasn’t really.  

The fact that Will wanted to die was predictable and what would have been more predictable is if he actually lived. It was also predictable that Louisa would go to Paris, and that Will would have left her money that would allow her to go and study and move out, just as much as her normal un jealous boyfriend would become jealous of the person Louisa would work for.  

The only person I actually liked was Will, and is the main reason why I rated the book 2*, after his accident he knows that he wants to die and no one will listen to him, it’s almost as if he doesn’t have a choice or voice in his own life anymore yet he can clearly think and talk, 

Have I Ever Avoided A Book Because Of The Content or Author?

The simple answer is yes.  

I avoided reading Breaking Dawn and Eclipse for so long. While there are flaws in all four books I actually like the first Twilight book and when I read New Moon I struggled that I didn’t want to read the last two books Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.  

Also with the movies being so popular as well (not as much as Harry Potter) but still popular I didn’t want to read them. 

At the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018, I actually read the whole series. Including the two books I was avoiding and while I am glad I avoided them for so long I am glad I read them. 

It’s easy to say “if you didn’t like them just sell them or get rid of them” but they have more memories attached to them then them being just the Twilight books. 


I also have The Host, which is written by the same author as Twilight. I’ve had it for years but just haven’t read it because of how much I disliked most of the twilight Saga. 

I think it’s ok to not avoid books by authors. 



I used to have this thing where when I read a really good book by an author I would have to get all of their books, but the books are nowhere near as good as that book that I tend to avoid them. The only case where this hasn’t happened is with Harry Potter and with Dorothy Koomson books.
