The only one real criticism I have, which is practically the same as Seven Ways We Lie, was the lack of responsibility the new teacher had. But the introduction of the new teacher means Laila must face a different approach and starts to experience more things in a real-life setting to improve her writing.
But she’s never satisfied, even when she’s told she is doing well. Laila yearns to make something that people will love, the same way she loves her favourite series.
I couldn’t also allow anyone read any of the fanfiction I had written when I was younger, even hiding under a pseudonym so it couldn’t be traced to me. Laila has no idea what her future holds but what she is sure of is her stories even if she never lets anyone read them. There was something personal yet universal about it.įinal Draft perfectly tackles the anxiety of writers. Seven Ways We Lie, her debut novel, was the reason I started giving contemporary novels another chance and I really, really enjoyed Final Draft. Her strange assignment leads Laila on an obsessive journey to win her praise. Until he ends up in the hospital and he’s replaced by a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist who is exceptionally critical and continuously unimpressed. Laila Piedra lives for the stories she writes, and the only person who reads them is her creative writing teacher. This in no way affected my opinion of the book. * I received an ARC of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. I’m not a huge fan of the Shatter Me series but everything she’s written outside of it has me hooked! When you’ve written something as iconic as The Song of Achilles, you deserve to be everyone’s auto-buy author. Saints & Misfits and Love From A to Z are some of my favourite Muslim YA novels. I prefer her YA stuff but I have purchased her adult fiction, I just haven’t got round to reading them yet. Of course, Rachel will forever be an auto-buy. I basically grew up with the Morganville Vampires and The Great Library series is one of my all-time favourite YA series.
Which is why this list is only eight because I had to think for a long and hard time on which authors would I consider immediately buying a new or perhaps one that I missed book.
I’m not a big on having an “auto-buy author”, since a lot of the time, I end up not liking other books by the same author. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature once hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, but has now moved to That Artsy Reader Girl! Each week, a new topic is put into place and bloggers share their top ten (or your own amount) accordingly.
