Bookworms, assemble: Join the Student Edge Book Club and get a massive discount on each month's specially selected novel!

Update: You can read the winning review here! The original article is as follows (but ignore all that and take a look at this month's title instead)!

Are you a voracious reader? Or, perhaps you like the idea of reading, but are never quite sure what to read? Maybe you have a hard time finishing books once you've begun them.

We're here to help.

We've partnered up with Booktopia and Simon & Schuster to share some of the best writing in the world with Student Edge members.

Each month, we'll let you know which book is on offer - especially curated for your reading pleasure - and you'll be able to save 10% when buying it through Booktopia.

Over the course of that month, you can submit a review of that particular book and go in the running to win a $200 Simon & Schuster bundle featuring the very latest releases. Read last month's winner here!

Now, the review will have to be pretty good to take such an awesome prize. We expect them to follow the same guidelines as our Writing Challenge entries. (Basically, they should be around three minutes reading time in length; no "25 words or less" answers, please!) Here are some dos and don'ts to live by.

It all kicks off this month with the heartbreaking, inspirational memoir by the late Marina Keegan, The Opposite of Loneliness.

Marina Keegan's star was on the rise when she graduated from Yale in May 2012. She had a play that was to be produced at the New York International Fringe Festival and a job waiting for her at the New Yorker. Tragically, five days after graduation, Marina died in a car crash. As her family, friends and classmates, deep in grief, joined to create a memorial service for Marina, her unforgettable last essay for the Yale Daily News, The Opposite of Loneliness, went viral, receiving more than 1.4 million hits.
