Book Review: When We Were Them By Laura Taylor Namey

I'm Becca! It's so nice to meet you. I'm 27 (so that doesn't really count as a proper Adult, right?!). I have been in love with books and reading them since I was really young. Being an Author is my DREAM that I hope to achieve soon! My YA Novel is currently in the making. Obviously, Young Adult books are THE best, but I do have a soft spot for poetry and adult books also. I'm a huge fan of making playlists for every feeling, season and reason; I always say that music is like reading for the soul. I love all things autumnal and baking year-round, plus I adore cats with a passion (because who doesn't?!).

5 Cats: An incredible novel all round! Most probably a new favourite. I'll re-read and highly recommend.
4.5 Cats: I loved this book so much and enjoyed the reading experience.
4 Cats: Amazing book, had lots of great qualities many will love.
3.5 Cats: This was a great book, but missing some of my favourite qualities.
3 Cats: It was a good read, but maybe it's not my type. I liked some parts.
2 Cats: I just couldn't connect with it. The book had a few good points, but none that I like in a book.
1 Cat: Couldn't finish completely. I would not read this again. Borrow instead.
DNF: I did not finish this book at all. This book was not for me/had something that I found was unreadable.
