1. The Fault is in Our Stars by John Green
This book follows Hazel, who got tumor, her parents think she's in depression that made her go to support group, there she met Gus who is a former basket ball team, an amputee, lost half of his leg due to bone tumor and his best friend Isaac who in the edge of the probability going blind.
The story about Hazel and Gus adventure to meet Hazel's favorite author who wrote a book with such a cliff hanger ending, in hope to find whether the author might give them a sneak peak about the story after the book or alternative ending or anything!
This book is one of the best contemporary book i've ever read, and yeah, i read it because i've watch the movie first.
2. The Perks of Being Wallflower By Stephen Chbosky
Again, this seems to be fair to mention this book since i forgot to mention it in the previous book recs for mental illness). This book also already adapted to the movie, starring Logan Lerman and Emma Watson. Of course i watched the movie first then read the book.
The story follows our wallflower Charlie, who writes letter for "his friend" like a diary, being invincible in school, with famous sister who ignores him anyway in school. Somehow he become friend with Patrick "the nobody" and his sister Sam, which then they discover that he's a wallflower.
i really like the book, specially i'm proud of the cover that i got. I can't really pick which i like the most, the movie or the book, so be sure to read and watch them both.
3. Eleanor and Park By Rainbow Rowell
This book follows Park, a Korean student, meets Eleanor, a girl with red hair. I really like the story, how they reading book in bus, exchange their favorite books to each other, it just a really good book for a book lover, just like John Green's blurbs.
I still think this book is worth reading for a book lover, young love, and that ending tho, won't said it, just read it.
4. Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella
This book is about Audrey, who can't leave her house, never take off her sunglasses (or any dark glasses). Yes she got some issues, but she is a witty person, funny and it's really interesting to read her point of view in the book.
She meet his brother friend, Linus who came to her home almost everyday and he help her to get back to the world.
So that's a wrap! Tell me which book you've read and haven't, or which one is your favorite. Also contemporary books that you've read but i didn't mention it above. See ya!
