THANKS, CARISSA, FOR RUINING MY LIFE

My Rating - 5/5

Author - Dallas Woodburn


Thanks to the author for giving me the e-ARC of this wonderful book.

Keep an eye out for the release date, i.e., 8 Feb 2022!


As the title says, Carissa is responsible for ruining Brad's life, or so he thinks initially. The book is written from the perspective of two people, Brad and Rose (Carissa's twin). As the pages turn it becomes obvious that Brad and Rose are meant for each other. But obstacles keep throwing themselves between the two which just keeps making things complicated.


The book focuses on character development. People get way too insecure and self-conscious about outer things like looks, weight, fashion etc. and don't notice their inner true self which is actually beautiful. Also, there's no point in hiding stuff from people, no matter how much you hide, it eventually comes out. And, instead of keeping things to yourself that just puts you down mentally, it's always best to share what's going on in your mind with your loved ones. These two things are highlighted wonderfully in the book and it's actually great.


Overall, it's a humble, cosy and quick read. The number of characters is less which makes the read perfect because too many characters equals too much confusion. The book is recommended for all YA fans and is a must read!
