Breakfast at Tiffany's : 2 stars 
 Quite enjoyable and a quick read. Nevertheless it lacked depth and I didn't get anything out of the story. I guess Holly is one of my most hated characters, I mean she's just sooooo annoying, but it was actually fun to hate on her whilst reading. Her lowkey racism and homophobia paired with her 'manic pixie dream girl'-flair threw her over the edge for me... Also, the narrator frustrated me. A love-crazed man with no excitement in life except for a woman. 
 House of Flowers : 4 stars 
 Very interesting premise. I kinda liked Ottilie (even though I read her name wrong as Odile... Like in swan lake ... Oops) and her relationship with Royal. Also, the love metaphor (if you close your hand around a bee and it doesn't sting you, it's love) was interesting. The last scene was perfect and showed Ottilies humour which is similar to mine. 
 A Diamond Guitar : 5 stars 
 I love to read about male relationships and unusual relationship. Here, I got both. Mr Schaeffer and Tico don't have anything in common except for the fact that they're both in prison. Mid-way through it was a bit heartbreaking (Tico leaving Schaeffer behind) but I enjoyed it a lot! 
 A Christmas Memory : 5 stars 
 The best story! I nearly cried. The portrayal of a friendship between a 7-year-old boy and his crazy 60-year-old cousin. It was so sweet and fuzzy for the most part (baking fruit cake, drinking rum and tap-dancing) but got so sad in the end (shattered dreams, military school and a kite ascending to heaven). I ADORED IT!
