We Can Be Heroes by Kyrie McCauley

This is a sad, but desperately needed book. Beck and Vivian don’t exactly like each other. They tolerated each other for the sake of their mutual best friend, Cassie. That was before Cassie’s ex boyfriend brought his dad’s guns to school and killed Cassie and himself. Six months later, Beck decides to paint murals allContinue reading “We Can Be Heroes by Kyrie McCauley”

Spin by Rebecca Caprara

This book was really good. Have you heard the myth of Arachne, the woman who challenged Athena to a weaving contest and got turned into a spider? Well this book tells the tale from Arachne’s perspective. Arachne’s mother taught Arachne everything she knows about weaving, and Arachne is good at it. But no matter howContinue reading “Spin by Rebecca Caprara”

Stolen City by Elisa A. Bonnin

This book was pretty good. Lots of magical heists. Arian and her twin brother Liam are thieves. They steal magical artifacts from the Empire that occupies their city. Arian tries to forget her sorrows, like her mother is dead, her father is absent, and her brother is using magic in a city where magic isContinue reading “Stolen City by Elisa A. Bonnin”

The Selection by Kiera Cass

I didn’t go into this expecting to like it a whole lot, but it turned out to be pretty good. It’s kind of light on the plot, but it’s a fun read. In Illéa, there are eight castes, with Ones being royalty, and Eights being homeless. America and her family are Fives. America is contentContinue reading “The Selection by Kiera Cass”

The Kingdom by Jess Rothenberg

This was pretty good! Ana is one of seven Fantasists, created to entertain the guests at the Kingdom theme park. Fantasists are beautiful AI hybrids, described as the closest thing to female perfection the world will ever see. Ana is content in her role, until bad things start to happen around the park. Ana’s fellowContinue reading “The Kingdom by Jess Rothenberg”

Draw Down The Moon by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.First off, this cover is amazing. The book itself was okay, but not the best. The writing was choppy, and the magic style was never really explained. Three stars from me. Wren has always known that she has no magic,Continue reading “Draw Down The Moon by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast”

Good Different by Meg Eden Kuyatt

This was such a great book. It’s a novel in verse starring Selah, an undiagnosed autistic girl who follows her ‘rules for being normal’ to the letter. Selah loves dragons. Like, LOVES them. But she can’t talk about dragons with other people because that might be weird. She has to pretend to understand when theContinue reading “Good Different by Meg Eden Kuyatt”

They Hate Each Other by Amanda Woody

This is a bit heavier than the cover suggests, but I really did like it. Dylan and Jonah hate each other with a burning passion, and only tolerate each other because their friends are dating. Then they wake up in the same bed. Jonah has no idea how he got there, and Dylan’s just annoyedContinue reading “They Hate Each Other by Amanda Woody”

Wave by Diana Farid

This was a quick read, but wow, it covered some heavy topics. It’s a novel in verse. Ava is struggling with mild OCD and her mom wanting her to be a doctor—when she doesn’t want to be a doctor. Ava copes by surfing with her best friend Phoenix and singing in her room. But sheContinue reading “Wave by Diana Farid”

Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi

This was pretty good, though some things weren’t my favorite. Penny is going to college, and she’s escaping her overbearing mom. Sam lives and works in a cafe. When they meet, it’s…really awkward, to say the least. But they exchange phone numbers and keep in touch without having to meet in person. They talk aboutContinue reading “Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi”
