Those of you who read my blog often will probably be aware by now that I am a huge fan of One Direction and their music. So, it will come as no surprise to you that when their new album, Made In The AM, was released, I bought the Ultimate Fan Edition. It comes with an exclusive wristband and 4 lovely photocards, as well as the deluxe edition of the album that I will be sharing my thoughts of in this review.

The powerful Hey Angel is the perfect start to the album. It has been described by Harry as "this album's Clouds" (one of my favourites on their previous album) and I have to agree. Hey Angel is followed by smash-hit singles Drag Me Down and Perfect.


Infinity, the fourth track on the album, is a song the boys themselves are especially proud of. It is an incredible song with beautiful lyrics such as "How many nights does it take to count the stars? That's the time it would take to fix my heart".

If I Could Fly is a slow song, sang to a piano accompaniment. I love the lyrics and I think it is a really stunning song - probably the the song I'm most likely to start crying at if they sang it live.

Never Enough has definitely grown on me since I first heard it - I wasn't overly keen on it at first, but not it might actually be one of my favourites, so catchy! It's also Niall's favourite because of how different it is to anything they have ever done before.

I was very impressed by Olivia at first listen. This is possibly because Harry's vocals sound amazing in it - although don't they always? I think the bridge of this song after the little instrumental might be one of my favourite parts of a One Direction song ever and that says a lot.


Love You Goodbye is a lovely, emotional song which Louis described as being very personal to him. I Want To Write You A Song has really cute lyrics and sounds very acoustic, another of my favourites.

I feel History is a message from the boys to us, the fans. "We could be the greatest team that the world has ever seen" reminds me of being a team with the boys because we got them to where they are today. I love History because it shows they will still be here for us through their break and we will still be there for them.

The deluxe edition of the album also features some great extra tracks - such as fast and fun Temporary Fix, and the wonderful Walking In The Wind, two songs that I would class as two of my personal favourites of the whole album.

Sophie Kinsella's books are usually aimed at adults, therefore I had never read anything by her before I read Finding Audrey. My mum however, had read some of her books so she thought I would enjoy her latest release - a young adult story about a teenage girl called Audrey who struggles with a severe anxiety disorder.

Audrey's disorder is so strong the only time she leaves the house is to visit her therapist. She also wears dark glasses all the time, even in the comfort of her own home. The book tells the story of Audrey's recovery; a recovery which isn't an easy ride.

The family are great characters who I fell in love with immediately.
Audrey's mum, Anne, is a hilarious and amazing character. She is very protective of her children and I feel the book also follows her journey of accepting her children will eventually grow up. She provides the laugh-out-loud moments in the book.
Audrey's four year old brother Felix is adorable and I wish we got to see a little bit more of him in the book.
Frank, Audrey's older brother is obsessed with computer games and it drives his mum mental. Frank is a great and supportive brother to Audrey and I liked his character also.

The story really kicks off when Audrey meets Frank's friend Linus, possibly my favourite character of the book. He helps Audrey to become herself again and gain confidence. He seems like a selfless person and the letters shared between him and Audrey were very cute.

I really enjoyed the scenes of the book where Audrey films her family. It is a lovely idea and we get to find out more about their personalities. The book has a really lovely story and the central character Audrey is a really likeable character.

Sophie Kinsella did an amazing job with Finding Audrey and I hope she releases another young adult book in the future. Let me know if you have read any good books recently in the comments!

For my birthday last Friday, I recieved from my parents tickets to see 5 Seconds Of Summer next year along with their new album, Sounds Good Feels Good. I really enjoyed their debut album so I was very excited for the next.

Sounds Good Feels Good is honestly one of my favourite albums. Ever. There isn't a single song I dislike and I think each song is amazing in its own way. 5 Seconds Of Summer's sound has definitely matured since their last album - in a good way. I think I prefer Sounds Good Feels Good to their self-titled debut, which says a lot because I love their first album; especially Don't Stop and Everything I Didn't Say.
The album features some faster paced, feel good (hence the name of the album) tracks such as Fly Away and Money, yet also has some amazing slower songs such as The Girl Who Cried Wolf. If you enjoyed Amnesia from the first album, you will love Invisible. Invisible reminds me a lot of Amnesia with its acoustic sound and powerful lyrics.

Sounds Good Feels Good proves how talented 5 Seconds Of Summer are and I would definitely recommend this album to anyone.
