A while ago I did a post where I gave suggests of books that people might want to read if they liked a certain movie or series. It was both fun to write and create as well as seeing people’s responses, that I wanted to do something similar. So, I bring you a If you like this book you will like this one – #LoveOZYA Edition

If you have been following my #LoveOZYA feature the last couple of months you know that I love OZ YA, so I decided why not suggest beautiful books by Australian authors. LoveOZYA do something similar to this so why not check it out. 

The way this works is I have a book that has been written by a UK/US (or even from another country) author and I suggest a book by an Australian author that is similar. 

If you liked The Selection Series by Kiera Cass then you might like Masquerade by Kylie Fornasier. Dresses, deception, and more.

If you liked All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven then you might like The Projected by Claire Zorn. Both of these novels deal with grief, mental illness and more. 

book to loveozya 2

If you liked The Siren by Kiera Cass you might like Sea Hearts (The Brides of Rollrock Island) by Margo Lanagan. Both deal with sea creatures that are quite different. 

book to loveozya 3

If you liked The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare you might like Akarnae by Lynette Nori . Both of these deal with a protagonist taken from one world to another.

If you liked The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson (review) then you might like The Yearbook Committee by Sarah Ayoub (review). Both these deal with friendships and how to deal with family.

I hope you enjoy this and that you read some of these Australian young adult books. I really had fun doing this and I hope to do more soon. 

I hope you enjoyed. You can find me on twitter at @angel_reads and on facebook and also on Instagram. Subscribe to my email list through the sidebar or follow me on bloglovin’ to keep up to date.

    I’m reading the Unexpected Everything Right now! 😀 And I meant to read The Yearbook Committee, but I ended up having to send it back to the library unread because of TIME. *sobs* But I can’t wait to read it soon because I loved Sarah Ayoub’s debut. 😀

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
