The Last One in the Universe

by Chrissie Perry

Girl vs. the World is a fun, true-to-life series about navigating high school, first crushes, and the ups and downs of adolescence. Hazel's friends are super cool, but she feels like a fraud. She doesn't have her period yet and she's never been kissed, and she's not confident or pretty like her friends are, either! So what should she do about her crush on Leo, who's sweet and funny but in the year above? Maybe it's time to take matters into her own hands ... Refreshingly honest and deliciously heartwarming, this series is perfect for readers aged 10 to 13.

Fantastic little book dealing with a few very important issues. I have to say I that I related a lot of Hazel - I was the same with my mum's boyfriends as a kid! One of the big plot points is that Hazel hasn't got her period yet, even though all her other friends have. She is 13 and feels like she should be growing up but is being held back by her body. I'd say it is best for 11-14 year olds.

This book was AMAZING. I have actually never read a love book before, but when I read this book I realised that I LOVED the style of book. This book also taught me a lesson to accept myself for just the way I am.

Liked it. The themes were a bit too mature for that age group though. Like periods and kissing and crushing is okay, but not some of the other stuff. I appreciated the journey of the character but I also think that this book could only be enjoyed by a girl and books should be gender neutral.
Anyway, I loved the family aspect of this book and it was pretty relatable.
