The Loneliness of Distant Beings by Kate Ling

I loved The Rain by Virginia Bergin so much. Let me know if you’ve read any great apocalyptic novels, YA or adult. I expected to have a few favourites to add here but there’s only one true standout so far. They give me a buzz of adrenaline and can often be quite scary. Goodreads | Amazon | The Selection ReviewĪpocalyptic novels capture me in a similar way to dystopians. But man it’s good! Another one I plan to reread soon, and I think it’s coming to Netflix at some point in the future if I remember rightly! Eek.

This is definitely girly, with a storyline that’s often described as The Hunger Games meets The Bachelor. Goodreads | Amazon | Delirium Review | Inspirational Lauren Oliver TalkĪ guilty pleasure that I’ve talked about many times before. A fantastic story that’ll have you on the edge of your seat the whole way. I was absolutely addicted to this when I first read it, and I plan to give it another read at some point this year. This one is a little more girly, about a future in which love is seen as an illness and there is a cure.

This is another series that both teenagers and adults of any gender will enjoy. Don’t be put off if you’ve seen the films as they really don’t live up to this fantastic story. This series is great the whole way through and has a shocker of an ending. Set in a dystopian future that divides people into factions, Tris discovers that things are not as they seem and that her friends and family are in danger. The Divergent movies are so, so disappointing, but the books are absolutely amazing.
