The Hunger Games goes Princess Diaries in this modern, magical teen adventure! When the Princess of Nova accidentally poisons herself with a love potion meant for her crush, she falls crown-over-heels in lovewith her own reflection. Oops. A nationwide hunt is called to find the cure, with competitors travelling the world for the rarest ingredients, deep in magical forests and frozen tundras, facing death at every turn. Enter Samantha Kemi - an ordinary girl with an extraordinary talent. Sam's family were once the most respected alchemists in the kingdom, but they've fallen on hard times, and winning the hunt would save their reputation. But can Sam really compete with the dazzling powers of the ZoroAster megapharma company? Just how close is Sam willing to get to Zain Aster, her dashing former classmate and enemy, in the meantime? And just to add to the pressure, this quest is ALL OVER social media. And the world news. No big deal, then. 'It's so cool!' Zoe Sugg, aka Zoella 'Inventive, romantic, and downright delightful, The Potion Diaries cast its spell on me from page one, and is the most fun I've had reading in ages!' Sarah J Maas, author of the Throne of Glass series

3/5 ⭐ This was a fun, quick read and I liked the magic and alchemy systems. I've had this on my shelf for ages, so glad I finally got around to reading it! And I think I have the sequel too, so I can carry on with the series.

"There are some things that are just as strong - no - stronger than love potions you know. Like real feelings." -Madly, Amy Alward

I'm posting WAY later than usual, and that's due to the fact that I was visiting Universal Studios today? How many times did I ride the Hogwarts Express? Many times :)

I read Madly for the first time last year and loved it. Seriously, it's a 4.5/5 stars for me. I haven't seen anyone else post about it, but it's a great book to read if you're looking for a modern setting in a fantasy world, friendship, romance, humour, and adventure. It's a light easy read, perfect for summer. It has a few cliches, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment of this book at all.

HollieOhs_BookReviews @Whimsicreads Its a great book! 📚💕 7y
HollieOhs_BookReviews @Linear Isn't it great?! I got it in a fairyloot box 😍 7y
Linear @HollieOhs_BookReviews i cant remember why i dint get fairyloot. Maybe because the shipping was to much to ship to where i am, or im to broke with everything else ( which as i think of it. Those two reasons are basiclly the same reason -money) but i like a lot of stuff that comes from that box. 7y

This was such a fun read!! It was set in modern times but with some fairytale aspects tossed in and it just made this whole world so enjoyable. Unicorns, abominables, mermaids, and potion making, doesn't get much better than that.

I actually really enjoyed Sam as the main character. At a few points she irritated me, but that's completely normal with any character that doesn't react to something the way I would. She is extremely resourceful.

This was the last #UKYA book that I bought after watching the #zoellabookclub video and thinking how fun it sounded. I've since read it and can confirm it is a fun read and I thoroughly enjoyed it (see previously posted review) #UKYANov

yayeahyeah Thanks for taking part again! I just read the spin-off short story from this series in the Winter Magic anthology and loved it - super cute! 8y
Flower_Fairy Oh I didn't know about this! Just looked up the anthology and it sounds like a nice winter/Christmas read 😊 8y

Loved this! Great fantasy/magic premise with strong, interesting characters. It was recently re-released as The Potion Diaries with a cute new cover. I will definitely be tracking down book 2.

Not sure if this book is anywhere near Hunger Games. :( I sure did expect too much out of it.

I actually really enjoyed this book and it wasn't what I was expecting at all. It reads like a fairytale and I felt like it was a light hearted Hunger Games. It's a fun, easy read.

Disappointed to see this old "wife doesn't want sex with husband but couldn't possibly say so" gag in a modern YA -- we can do better for our young girls!

I went book buying today and bought these books 😃. I can't wait to read them all, but I'm quite excited about The Potion Diaries because it sounds fun and a bit different. I love buying books. It's always so exciting!

emmaoulton Eeeee Zoella book club picks! 8y
Flower_Fairy @emmaoulton I know! She's picked some great ones. I've read three of them previously, so excited to read the rest 😃 8y

Mehso-so

At first the story didn't contain enough information. I'm not saying it was a bad book but it did take me longer to read. There's not really a romance in the book, I thought it would take more into the story. I don't know how much I like the characters, it's all preference I'm sure.
