When I first heard about Run, Rebel, I was immediately intrigued. Not only does the book have the most compelling synopsis, but is set entirely in poetry verses. I haven't seen a YA set this way since The Poet X, so I was really excited to start reading.

Book Review: Unpregnant (#1) by Jenni Hendriks & Ted Caplan

I was so over the moon to get a copy of Unpregnant late last year because I had heard SO MANY THINGS and as soon as I could get the spare day or so to dive in, I took the chance. I'd heard only a month or so beforehand that it was becoming a movie, and if you know me, you know that I love to read the books before they're a movie. Obviously I love film adaptations (looking at you, To All The Boys I've Loved Before!) but as they say: the book is always better.

I'm Becca! It's nice to meet you, friend. I'm 25 (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; music is like reading . . . for the soul. I adore all things autumnal, winged eyeliner and love cats with a passion (who doesn't?!).

5 Cats: An incredible novel all round! Most probably a new favourite. I'll re-read.
4 Cats: Amazing book. Really enjoyed it!
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.
