The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

What it says on the back cover:
Charlie's not the biggest geek in high school. But he's by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent, yet socially awkward, Charlie is a wallflower, standing on the threshold of his life whilst watching everyone else live theirs. As Charlie tries to navigate his way through uncharted territory - the world of first dates and mix tapes, family dramas and new friends - he realises that he can't stay on the sidelines forever. There comes a time when you have to see what life looks like from the dance floor.

First impressions after reading the book:
This book is like nothing I've ever read. There is no particular plot in this book, it's just the character living their lives and their character development. When some people might find this extremely boring, I did not. I thought it was really interesting, and I had never read a book written entirely in letters. The characters were all really sweet, it was just a great great read. And it was funny to compare how teens were in the 90s and now.

The Giver by Lois Lowry (The Giver #1)

What it says on the back cover:
Intelligence. Integrity. Courage. Wisdom. These are the qualities a Receiver of Memory must have. And one more which can only be named, but not described. The Capacity to See Beyond.

Jonas lives safely within the community, a place where there is no war, no hunger, and no pain. But when he is selected as the Receiver of Memory, he starts to discover dark secrets that lie beneath the surface of his perfect world. Secrets that will lead him to undertake an incredible journey...

First Impressions after reading the book:
I found this book super interesting. I liked the idea of a prefect world, and how each December they went up a sort of "Class" in the community. It's hard to give a first impression without giving away spoilers, it's best to start this book with only a a vague synopsis. So go read the book and come back!

Reboot by Amy Tintera (Reboot #1)

Synopsis:
Five years ago, Wren Connolly died. After 178 minutes, she came back as a Reboot: stronger, faster, able to heal, but also less emotional. The longer Reboots are under, the less human they are when they return- making Wren 178 the deadliest Reboot in the Republic of Texas. Now seventeen years old, her favourite part of her job is training new Reboots, but her latest newbie is the worst she's ever seen.
As a 22, Callum Reyes is practically still human. His reflexes are too slow, he's always asking pesky questions, and his ever-present slime is freaking Wren out. and yet... he's still her newbie. When Callum falls short of Reboot standards, Wren is told to eliminate him.
But the perfect soldier is done taking orders.

First Impressions:
This novel is no ordinary Dystopian. First of all, it doesn't have a love triangle, which is amazing considering that practically all YA books have an unfair love triangle in them. Then there is the different twist on dystopia. Normally, you would think that when someone wakes up from the dead, they become a zombie. Well, not in this book. And last, the very fast pace. This book is a real page turner. No boring bits, it sucks you in straight away and keeps you hanging and asking for more.
