Other books that are not mentioned but I find them interesting:

  • The Perks of Being A Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky (Not sure how to describe this.. )
  • The Virgin Suicides - Jeffrey Eugenides
  • The Sister's Keeper - Jodi Picoult (Just bought this, people kept saying her books are good, idk)
  • There's No Place Like Here - Cecelia Ahern (Quite okay, about being lost and being found.)

Thats all.
