This is actually the first novel in verse I’ve read, and wow, I’m so glad I did. This book is amazing. Alicia is called many things, all derogatory, all things that mean “That girl has too much sex”. But what other people don’t know is that she was sexually abused by everyone’s favorite teacher, andContinue reading “Dear Medusa by Olivia A. Cole”

Forget Me Not by Alyson Derrick
All I will say is, I may have a new favorite book. Stevie and Nora are two girls living in a very conservative small Texas town. They’re also secretly dating, and have been for two years. They have a plan: once they graduate, they’ll move to California so they can be open about their loveContinue reading “Forget Me Not by Alyson Derrick”
Heartstopper: Volume One by Alice Oseman
This is really cutesy read, though the ending was a little confusing for someone who watched the show before I read the book (yes, yes, I know, don’t judge me). Charlie Spring has a tiny crush on Nick Nelson. Nick is popular, plays rugby, and seems like a stereotypical jock from afar. But as CharlieContinue reading “Heartstopper: Volume One by Alice Oseman”
The Bone Spindle by Leslie Vedder
This was super good, and I can not wait to see more the characters. Fi is the smartest treasure hunter around, and Shane is an axe wielding, lesbian huntsman for hire (aka pretty awesome). Shane and Fi team up to find an ancient treasure, but instead Fi pricks her finger on a spindle—instead of fallingContinue reading “The Bone Spindle by Leslie Vedder”

Her Royal Highness by Rachel Hawkins
This was a cute, short read. Millie was just accepted into her dream school in Scotland, but she’s not going. That is until her girlfriend ditches her for her ex.

Friday, I’m In Love by Camryn Garrett

She’ll save up the money by herself, too. Then she develops a major crush on the pretty new girl, Siobhan. The onlyContinue reading “Friday, I’m In Love by Camryn Garrett”
Girls Save The World In This One by Ash Parsons
This was a fun read. The hot pink on the cover made it seem like it was gonna be kinda cutesy, but it was darker than I expected, which I enjoyed. June and her two best friends are obsessed with zombies—specifically the show Human Wasteland. So the three of them go to a zombie fanContinue reading “Girls Save The World In This One by Ash Parsons”
Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko
Thank you to Netgalley for a pre reader copy in exchange for an honest review. This book is great. A lot of grammar and spelling mistakes though. Coley just moved to a small town that she certainly doesn’t want to live in because her mom killed herself. There, she meets Sonya, a pretty girl whoContinue reading “Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko”
T.J. Powar Has Something to Prove by Jesmeen Kaur Deo
This book has a good storyline, but it’s written in present tense and third person, which I really don’t like, so it’s not my favorite. TJ is pretty, popular, and generally well liked. But then a meme gets posted, with her being the “expectation” of dating Indian girls, and her cousin who doesn’t remove herContinue reading “T.J. Powar Has Something to Prove by Jesmeen Kaur Deo”
