Remix - Non Pratt

I have been waiting so long for this book to come out, that it was no surprise to me when I started reading it as soon as it got delivered to my house. I found it really easy to get through, and would have finished it sooner if I hadn't had so many shifts at work.

Remix is a music festival, and the events in the book take place over three days - friday, saturday and sunday. This made the book even harder to put down, as I would carry on reading if I was nearing the end of a day, and basically put off whatever I was supposed to be doing instead of reading. 

The book is told from two perspectives, which I always love. Kaz and Ruby have been best friends for years, but Remix will be their biggest test yet. It also doesn't help that their imminent separation, with Ruby either having to re-sit her GCSEs or move schools, is looming over their heads.

There's a lot of boy trouble in this book. Kaz is still upset from her break-up with Tom, who is also at Remix and somehow unavoidable in a sea of thousands of festival-goers. Ruby's ex, Stu, is there too, though she pretends not to care about him ever since he cheated on her.

They are there to forget about their problems and enjoy the music - but all hell breaks loose when Kaz starts spending time with Tom's new girlfriend, Laura, who doesn't like Ruby and goes out of her way to wind her up.

I really enjoyed this book, it's definitely my favourite book of Non's so far. Her writing keeps getting better and better, to the point where I am uncontrollably excited for what she'll write next. If you liked Trouble, you'll love this!

Trouble - Non Pratt

This is an amazing debut from Non, whose next book, Remix, is due to come out in June - which I am so excited for! So many of my friends have been lucky enough to have read it already, and I wish I had too because June is too far away!

When Hannah Shepard finds out that she is pregnant, her ex-best friend spreads it around the entire school. Scared and alone, Hannah ends up having a meltdown in her back garden. 

Enter: Aaron Tyler. The new kid, the transfer student, the father? Aaron offers to pretend to be the father so that everyone will leave Hannah alone and stop asking questions, and Hannah says yes.

Prior to her pregnancy announcement, every guy wanted Hannah. Aaron is the one person who doesn't - he just genuinely wants to help.

This book is a dual-perspective, which I loved because you get to see Aaron's life as well as Hannah's. This book had me hooked from the beginning, and I feel like I need to re-read it pretty soon to refresh my memory. It's been so long since I read this!

There were so many twists and turns in this book that I didn't see coming, which I really enjoyed. I remember, I was reading it home alone in the bath one day, and when something was revealed, I gasped so loud that my dog tried to get into the bathroom to see if I was okay. That's how surprised I was! It was definitely a thrilling read.

It's such a brilliant book, and my copy is extra special for me because I got it signed at YALC last year. I've met Non twice, and I hope I can meet her again in the future. The countdown for Remix's release begins here! I love Non so much and I hope everyone picks up a copy of Remix!

Verdict: 4/5
