I absolutely love Sarah Ockler’s books but, not too long ago, only two of them were available digitally in Australia and the UK. However, the remaining 4 books are now launching digitally in all English-speaking countries outside of North America and I’m so happy to be reviewing one of them today. Sarah will also be doing […]
Anddd we have another Snow White retelling to add to our shelves! I’d recommend to read this with a fresh, open mind, considering the multiplicity of fairy tale retellings set in science fiction settings. This one still remains highly original and has characters and plots that are unique to itself, despite the seemingly similar backgrounds […]
Today Jenna and I join forces to review some Aussie YA reads! I hope you enjoy our double review feature. Books about teenagers getting bullied and having a difficult life are usually depressing, melodramatic and really bring you down. Yellow differs in showcasing the beautiful moments in life, even though you may be from a low […]
Honestly, I just want to pop into the book and befriend all of these characters. They’re hilarious, ridiculous at times, full of fun, and they just breathe life. Alice’s narration made me grin and laugh out loud more than once, Max is dreamy yet down to earth at the same time, and even the side […]

Ask the Passengers was a wonderful book about a girl who’s discovering herself and trying to break free from the labels that others place on her. Astrid is still discovering who she is. She’s attracted to a girl she works with but isn’t sure […]
The premise of this book, which is a YA retelling of A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens, features the conflicting sides of light versus dark. The winning factor of it all, in my opinion, is my YAWN, which is ultimately why I could not go on with this book. I’ve sectioned out the main factors […]
It took me almost a month to read this book, not because it was long but because every time I tried to pick it up, I had to force myself to keep reading. The thing is, I think it’s only because this book is just not for me. If I weren’t so primed for adventure […]
What I Saw has an important message about doing the right thing and being true to yourself. This book is about the issue of alcohol-fuelled violence and coward punches, which is a prevalent issue in Australia right now. While I really enjoyed and appreciated that the author brought this issue to light, I did have a […]
