    Title: Philomena
    Author: Martin Sixsmith.

    Begins in 1950s Ireland, Michael and his 'sister' Mary are adopted by a couple in America, against their mothers wills.
    The story follows Michael throughout his life, his struggles about his sexuality and the rise to his political career. We also notice that Michael never forgets about his birth mother, and eventually, attempts to find her.

    8/10.

    Just finished up 'Handle With Care' by Jodi Picoult.

    Interesting book...

    I've recently read 'Hope Ur Ok Hun' published by Blackstaff Press Ltd.

    An amusing read.

    I also read 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green.

    I finished it within a few hours. I'm not too sure how I feel about the book... It would've been nice to see more of Hazel and Gus' romance develop, but I guess that is the difficulty of having an illness.




    Going to begin 'Looking for Alaska', also written by John Green, soon.
