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”

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”

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”

This book was interesting, but it took me a pretty long while to get into it. I won’t give spoilers, but the villain was definitely very interesting. Veronica is a photographer, and her best friend Nico is into performance art. Mick has a phobia of having her picture taken. When Veronica and Mick meet atContinue reading “She’s Too Pretty To Burn by Wendy Heard”

This was good. I was pleasantly surprised. Elena is always known as ‘Ethen’s twin sister’. She feels like she’s invisible. But then, her childhood best friend Robbie—who’s now a worldwide famous k-pop idol—shows up on her doorstep to fulfill a promise they made when they were ten—take each other to prom. Suddenly Elena’s sucked intoContinue reading “Once Upon A K-Prom by Kat Cho”

Fair warning, this is a novella, so it’s pretty short. Zinnia is sick, and no one with Generalized Roseville Malady has lived past their twenty second birthday. It’s Zinnia’s twenty first birthday, and her best friend Charm is gonna give her an amazing Sleeping Beauty (Zinnia’s favorite thing) themed party. But when she pricks herContinue reading “A Spindle Splintered by Alix E. Harrow”

I received an ARC of this book. I didn’t know if I was gonna like this one, but I really did. I didn’t realize, but it’s a prequel to Six Crimson Cranes, though it can be read as a standalone. Channi will protect her beautiful sister Vanna at all cost. Channi has the face ofContinue reading “Her Radiant Curse by Elizabeth Lim”

This was actually way better than I expected. Avery lives in her car because she can’t stand to be around her sisters’ abusive boyfriend. Then one day, a mysterious, attractive boy shows up at her school and summons her to the house of a dead Texan billionaire. As it turns out, Avery has inherited theContinue reading “The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes”

So, after reading some other reviews of this, I have mixed feelings. I thought it was a good book, but I am now noticing some things that weren’t the greatest. Anyway, time for the review. The book switches back and forth between before Jess’s girlfriend died, and after. Before: Jess has some problems. She’s constantlyContinue reading “The Meaning of Birds by Jaye Robin Brown”

This was a lot better than I expected. Also heavier than I expected. Rain is struggling with her body, and depression, and all those bad things. The only thing that makes it better is her brother Xander. But when X almost gets killed by a bunch of white boys at a party, Rain doesn’t knowContinue reading “Rain Rising by Courtne Comrie”
