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”

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.

So the three of them go to a zombie fanContinue reading “Girls Save The World In This One by Ash Parsons”

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”
