Yeah, sure! Headstrong character is the main character, Quinnen. It's written in English, my own language is Dutch. And the character that showers could be multiple ones. It's Brandon and Haley.

Book: Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira

Task:
- Read a book where someone is under someone's spell - I don't know how literal this has to be, but the main character (Laurel) is pretty obsessed with the love interest (Sky) and she can't seem to let him go.
- Read a book where someone throws a party - I don't the exact name of the character, but I do know the characters go to a high school party.
- Read a book where someone survives an attack - Again, I don't know what falls under attack, but one of the side characters gets hit by her brother and the main character endures a lot of abuse as well (don't want to go into too much details, because huge spoilers).
- Read a book that was originally written in a language other than your own - It's written in English and my own language is Dutch.
- Read a book where the main character is a writer - I don't know how literal I have to take this, but the book is completely formatted through letters so the main character writes all these letters to famous dead people. I don't know if that could count for being a writer? She also wants to be a poet and writes a poem at the end of the book.
- Read a book with a main character in school - The main character is in high school and that is where she meets all of her friends and the love interest.
- Read a book with a strong female lead - Mentally strong counts, I guess? She struggles with her sister's death, but manages to pull through and also the abuse she endured (spoilers!).
