Don’t let the lighthearted cover fool you – My Best Friend is a Goddess explores the friendship between Emily and Adriana, but it also touches upon grief, self-loathing, jealousy and bullying. There’s so many themes here that were tackled with just the right amount of depth, touching upon how best friends can form, impact the growth and development […]
If the words ‘giant robots’ hasn’t encouraged you to pick this book up, then I don’t know what will. I picked up Sleeping Giants upon the recommendation of my trusted book buddies, Jaz and Joy, and I’m so glad I did. It helped to end my three week Gemina obsession that wouldn’t let up – only because it’s a […]
