The Mermaid’s Sister by Carrie Anne Noble

I used to listen to this on audiobook as a little kid (even though it is undoubtedly a bit intense for a little kid), and I recently decided to reread it. I enjoyed it as much as—or even more than—I used to. In 1870, on a mountain in Pennsylvania, lives Auntie, Clara, and Maren. AuntieContinue reading “The Mermaid’s Sister by Carrie Anne Noble”

Last Chance Books by Kelsey Rodkey

This was kind of cute, but not my favorite. Still pretty enjoyable though. Books and Moore is the family owned bookstore that’s been around for forever. Madeline Moore knows she’s going to inherit it once she’s old enough. But recently, a chain bookstore called Prologue has moved in across the street, and is stealing allContinue reading “Last Chance Books by Kelsey Rodkey”

Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, and managed to read some great books! This was definitely a good read, and I should have given into the hype and read it sooner. Iris Winnow and Roman Kitt are competing journalists at the Oath Gazette, and both of them want the columnistContinue reading “Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross”

Joined At The Joints by Marissa Eller

I really loved this, plus it has a very pretty cover. Ivy loves cooking, has severe social anxiety, and was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis a year ago. All summer, she’s basically just stayed inside and watched cooking shows. But now school’s starting, and her also chronically ill sister and mother are trying to convinceContinue reading “Joined At The Joints by Marissa Eller”

The No-Girlfriend Rule by Christen Randall

This was super cute! My only qualm about it was it used everyone’s full name a weird amount of times. Hollis is just trying to survive high school, which as an anxious fat girl, is proving to be difficult. But her boyfriend Chris makes it easier. Hollis wants to start playing Secrets and Sorcery—the fictionalContinue reading “The No-Girlfriend Rule by Christen Randall”

Liar’s Kingdom by Christine Calella

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review. This was pretty good, if not the very best. Ell has been abused and forced to slave away for her stepfamily for six long years, ever since her father died. She would do anything to escape. And then, an opportunityContinue reading “Liar’s Kingdom by Christine Calella”

That’s Not My Name by Megan Lally

This had me hooked, even though it broke my heart a little. A girl wakes up in a ditch, covered in blood, and the worst part…with zero memories of who she is. She’s found by a helpful cop, though he can’t tell her who she is. Then a panicking man shows up at the policeContinue reading “That’s Not My Name by Megan Lally”

Dungeons and Drama by Kristy Boyce

Okay, this was just adorable. I absolutely loved it. Riley aspires to be a musical director, and her favorite part of the year is her school’s spring musical. But then Riley gets caught using her mom’s car without permission…or a driver’s license. Riley’s punishment is she has to work at her dad’s game store forContinue reading “Dungeons and Drama by Kristy Boyce”

Light Enough To Float by Lauren Seal

This was such a sad, and in the end, hopeful novel in verse. I loved this. Evie has just been diagnosed with anorexia, and immediately admitted into an inpatient treatment facility. She desperately wants to leave, to go home. But her doctors refuse until she’s healthier. Everyday is full of calorie loading and therapy sessions,Continue reading “Light Enough To Float by Lauren Seal”

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

So, I wasn’t the biggest fan of this, but I didn’t hate it, and I think I’ll continue with the series. Just remember to keep in mind, there are some things in this book that haven’t aged well, given it was released in 2011. Juliette has been locked away for 264 days. She’s never knownContinue reading “Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi”
