Review: This Is Not a Love Story by Keren David

This Is Not a Love Story by Keren DavidThis Is Not a Love Story by Keren David (review copy) - Kitty dreams of a beautiful life, but that's impossible in suburban London where her family is haunted by her father's unexpected death. So when her mum suggests moving to Amsterdam to try a new life, Kitty doesn't take much persuading. Will this be her opportunity to make her life picture perfect?

In Amsterdam she meets moody, unpredictable Ethan, and clever, troubled Theo. Two enigmatic boys, who each harbour their own secrets. In a beautiful city and far from home, Kitty finds herself falling in love for the first time.

But will love be everything she expected? And will anyone's heart survive?

The LGBT Readathon Goals

LGBT Readathon

This week, Faye of A Daydreamer's Thoughts is hosting the LGBT Readathon, and being such a fan of anything that highlights LGBTQ YA, I have decided to sign up!

I don't have any major goals, so these are kind of rough. I hope to read three books at least, and this morning I started by picking up This Is Not a Love Story by Keren David. Earlier today, Charlie, via Jim of YA Yeah Yeah, lent LGBTQ YA anthology Summer Love, edited by Anne Harper, which I will be reading next so I can get it back to Charlie. I have a few other books I can read for the Readathon, which are:

I'll also have Black Iris by Leah Raeder, but as it's NA, I'm not quite sure if it would count - but it's LGBTQ, so I thought I'd give it a mention now.

How about you guys? What are your plans for the week? If you've written a goals post, leave your links!
