I received Bomb from Hodder Children's Books in exchange for an honest review.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bomb drowned me in tears. My heart ached for these characters. Extremely captivating read. It kept me up all night wanting to finish it.

After waking up in a cellar, Genesis doesn't quite remember what happened to her. But it all comes back to her, mostly in the beginning of the book. Imagine being in Gen's position, though. Strapped to a bomb, waking up alone in a dark unlit room. I would be scared out of my mind and actually, so is Gen herself. The way Gen handles everything throughout this book is so well developed and realistic. I adored Gen's personality. Her emotions felt so real to me. She undergoes some serious character development and I loved her for every single moment of it. Even after she had developed a lot, she still bounced back into her old thought patterns which I thought of as lifelike. Nobody you hold dear can be forgotten within an hour. The characters in this book definitely did not get over their grief in an hour, luckily. They hurt, they bled and they cried. 

TBR For The #CrushYourTBR Read-A-Thon

First of all, a little explanation of what a Read-A-Thon is precisely. Lots of people still don’t know what we’re all talking about.

A Read-A-Thon is when a person reserves a specific amount of time for reading. In this instance, the goal is to ‘crush your TBR’ or read some books you meant to read for a while in a time span of a long weekend. So from May 15th (which it is today) until the 17th. There are also some reading sprints during this one, which basically means lots of people read simultaneously for a certain amount of time. After this set amount has passed, these people come together on a social media platform to share their reading progress. If you want to join, follow the #CrushYourTBR twitter which I’ll link for you here. 

With that out of the way, let’s move on to the part where I tell you what I’m going to read.
