Book Review of Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon

      “You're not living if you're not regretting.”  ―  Nicola Yoon I guess it’s never too late to write a book review, or maybe until it’s adapted into a movie. I guess! I am talking about the book ‘Everything, Everything’ by Nicola Yoon which became the much talked and much-awaited film which was adapted from its original fiction work. The book was published in 2015, and the movie was released this year i.e. 2017, so on the onset of the movie trailer, people were intrigued to find out more about the book before the movie came out. The same applied to me too; I was curious to read the book before catching the movie. Somehow I am more absorbed in books which are adapted into a movie, who isn’t? You are just interested to find out how the director changes the scene sequence or the line printed on a page into a screenplay. I bought the book only after I saw the trailer of the movie (honest confession). Luckily, the book got me hooked fro...

                                        To Lilly Singh- BAWSE for Life WARNING:  This book does not include hopeful thoughts, lucky charms, or cute quotes.

It is saucy, raunchy, free-spirited, revealing, heartfelt , cheeky and downright entertaining, and it isn’t the latest Bollywood potboiler! It’s the journey of an international flight attendant over the last 12 years and not an ordinary one at that. - Welcome On Board Copyright  © All rights reserved As I was browsing through Crossword, a light blue covered book with a travel-like image caught my eye, I thought it was pretty attractive as it stands at the crossword ‘recommendation shelf.’  I went ahead and picked it up as I was intrigued to find out what the book was about, and who could have written it.
