I chose this book for my monthly book club, I have previously enjoyed Dan Brown books, and enjoyed this one also.
I did however find that this one dragged on a little bit too long, it could have done to have had about a quarter of the story knocked off. I will however carry on reading the Dan Brown books.

Must have app
This is definitely my most used app on my phone right behind my kindle app. It’s definitely a must have for any avid reader.

This app makes it so easy to find books. I love that I can organize all the books that I’ve read and want to reading onto “book shelves.” Getting reading recommendations based on the books I’m reading and books that my friends are reading is great. I absolutely love that goodreads has a yearly reading challenge! There is just so much about this app that I love. Goodreads is really a fantastic community for readers! Highly recommend!

This book speaks straight from your souls. One of the books where you feel like having a chat with a good friend and agree about how life works. Absolute brilliant in a funny way which makes you think about your own behaviour as well
  
Philosophy raises fundamental questions about the world around us and how we should live our lives.

Fortunately, a range of popular books now available mean you too can grapple with some of these issues.

Philosopher and author Nigel Warburton picks his favourite philosophy books of 2016.

"A relationship between a brother and a sister that spoke to me in so many ways. They have a very unique relationship and I just love well-written books about a family's unhealthy dynamics."

I really liked this!

Like Paige's latest book, The Sun in her Eyes, this too focuses on first loves but we actually read it happen so we fall for Ben at the same time. There's an age difference between them but for the ten years later bit it isn't as much of a problem. But what's to happen when Lily is already with someone else?

One thing I really like about these books is that Paige interlinks the books in various ways with characters that were main ones in previous books becoming secondary in later books e.g. Josh from this is one of the secondary characters in The Sun in her Eyes, and Lily from this is the main character in Lucy in the Sky. Everyone's favourite band is Fence, which is Johnny Jefferson's--from Johnny be Good's--band.


Now I'm going to be good with my reading marathon of Paige Toon's books and start reading them in order but first I'll have to read [b:Lucy in the Sky|1032295|Lucy in the Sky|Paige Toon|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328707137s/1032295.jpg|1018573] since it was the first book she ever wrote and I've already read books 2 ([b:Johnny Be Good|2274457|Johnny Be Good (Johnny Be Good, #1)|Paige Toon|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327919693s/2274457.jpg|2280480]), 3 ([b:Chasing Daisy|6450060|Chasing Daisy|Paige Toon|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327919799s/6450060.jpg|6640188], 4 ([b:Pictures of Lily|7134057|Pictures of Lily|Paige Toon|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1269790608s/7134057.jpg|7396938])-this one-and 5 ([b:Baby Be Mine|9566822|Baby Be Mine (Johnny Be Good, #2)|Paige Toon|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1307174722s/9566822.jpg|14453585]
