Oh man to be young, in love, and dramatic as hell. This story was an odd mix of quick page turning because I loved everything that was happening, and Jesus Christ I simply cannot stand these dumbass kids. But hey, maybe that’s just teenagers. What’s this book about, you ask? Sage and Charlie are simplyContinue reading “Review: “If We Were Us” by K.L. Walther”

Review: “The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue” by Mackenzie Lee
Now wasn’t THIS book a fun little surprise! I’ll admit, going into it, I knew that the book was an LGBT+ mini-darling of both Bookstagram and Tumblr. However, I don’t think I was expecting it to be quite so mature. The book: Henry Montague is a bonafide trainwreck; he’s a party boy who loves toContinue reading “Review: “The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue” by Mackenzie Lee”
Review: “The Starless Sea” by Erin Morgenstern
“Some enjoyed them and others did not and that is the nature of a story.” It’s certainly no secret that I absolutely loved Erin Morgenstern’s first work, The Night Circus. I think everyone did; it was magical and mysterious and exuded such a distinct feel to it, that it was highly disappointing to finish andContinue reading “Review: “The Starless Sea” by Erin Morgenstern”
Review: “The Love Study” by Kris Ripper
This was a cute little romantic comedy that catches the realities of dating in 2020 at a time where sexuality is such a fluid concept and people are being respected more and more for who they identify as. It is, in part, a wholly progressive lens on where we as a society have advanced to.Continue reading “Review: “The Love Study” by Kris Ripper”
Review: “The Extraordinaries” by T.J. Klune
I’d like to start this review off by acknowledging the fact that I was 100% hungover while reading The Extraordinaries. Head pounding, stomach churning, life-hating hungover. And this book still made me so happy. Nick Bell is our beloved hero in The Extraordinaries. Well, “hero” is a strong word considering in a town where superherosContinue reading “Review: “The Extraordinaries” by T.J. Klune”
Review: “The Camino Club” by Kevin Craig
There are books that you really want to like, and there are books that really want you to like them. The Camino Club falls somewhere in between those two categories. The Camino Club— cleverly named for the other famous delinquent group, The Breakfast Club— follows the story of three teenagers who’ve been given the choiceContinue reading “Review: “The Camino Club” by Kevin Craig”
Review: “The House in the Cerulean Sea” by TJ Klune
“It’s the little things, I expect. Little treasures we find without knowing their origin. And they come when we least expect them. It’s beautiful, when you think about it.” How do I put into words all the ways I loved this book? It’ll never be enough to describe the warm fuzzy feelings and the wayContinue reading “Review: “The House in the Cerulean Sea” by TJ Klune”
Review: “Boyfriend Material” by Alexis Hall
“I’m conscious this could be rather burdensome to hear, but you remain the thing I have most chosen for myself. The thing that’s most exclusively mine. The one thing that brings me the deepest joy.” Look, Alexis Hall can do no wrong in my book. Seriously. I’ve been reading his books for years; trekking thoughContinue reading “Review: “Boyfriend Material” by Alexis Hall”
Review: “The Fascinators” by Andrew Eliopulos
“If you believe it, you can achieve it. That’s like the number-one rule of magic.” You know, The Fascinators was a really interesting book that for some reason or other, I just didn’t connect to. It wasn’t written too young, which is my complaint about a couple of other YA contemporary reads. The plot hadContinue reading “Review: “The Fascinators” by Andrew Eliopulos”
Review: “Only Mostly Devastated” by Sophie Gonzales
“Life was too short to play chicken with something as important as the person you loved.” Alright y’all so imagine this. You’re browsing through Bookstagram, bored off your ass, and you see a cute little book with a pretty teal cover surrounded by little cartoon teenagers hanging out on bleachers. “Aww,” You say, “this isContinue reading “Review: “Only Mostly Devastated” by Sophie Gonzales”
