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”
Snowglobe by Soyoung Park, Joungmin Lee Comfort (translator)
This was definitely a fun read, reminiscent of The Hunger Games. While Earth was once colorful and vibrant, the planet has now been reduced to a never ending winter, with temperatures sometimes staying as low as -70 °F. However there is one exception, a city built on a rare geothermal source called Snowglobe. To liveContinue reading “Snowglobe by Soyoung Park, Joungmin Lee Comfort (translator)”
The Wildest Things by Andrea Hannah
Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review. I’ve had my eye on this one for a while, and was so excited when I got approved for an arc! It’s a sapphic dark fantasy retelling of Snow White. While I did enjoy this book, it took me aContinue reading “The Wildest Things by Andrea Hannah”
The Initial Insult by Mindy McGinnis
Yesterday morning, on Halloween, I spontaneously decided to read an entire book set on Halloween in one day. I had never heard of this book before, but it seemed interesting enough. Man, reading this was a wild ride. I was shocked and slightly horrified the entire time—and I loved it. Tress Montor’s family name usedContinue reading “The Initial Insult by Mindy McGinnis”
