Geekerella is an extremely fun, light-hearted and geeky retelling of Cinderella and I highly, highly enjoyed it. It’s the perfect book if you’re looking for a contemporary romance that can be read in one sitting. The characters are quirky and lots of fun and I really enjoyed the relationship dynamics between the characters. The story follows […]
I was really eager to continue off from where the previous book, The Dark Days Club left off, but it took a while for me to get absorbed in the storyline. The plot’s slow pace in the beginning and middle is quite reminiscent of the first book, leaving the fun, exciting action parts around the […]
The Upside of Unrequited is a companion to Becky Albertalli’s Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda. It focuses on Abby’s cousin, Molly, and her journey to finding love and having her first ever romance. Simon vs for me was a standout book and The Upside of Unrequited didn’t quite live up to my extremely high expectations but I still really enjoyed […]

I absolutely adored this book and all the characters that came with it. Queens of Geek follows three Australian friends as they travel together to a geeky convention over the weekend, creating a story of self-discovery while dealing with societal issues relevant to the current time. Readers get to read through the first person POV’s of […]
The Secret Science of Magic is an incredibly relatable contemporary story about figuring out who you are and what to do with your life. It features two charming characters who you can’t help but root for and if that’s not enough, there’s also lots of science and a sprinkle of magic. Sophia is a math genius […]
Being a gamer, I loved the premise of In Real Life, the unremarkable Anda finding a purpose within the MMORPG world of Coursegold Online and getting paid for it in real dollars. She soon looks forward to hopping online every day and escaping the monotony of her day to day school life. There were some […]
Finishing high school is an emotional time, particularly when you’re parting with people you’ve been seeing everyday for most of your life. For the first time, you have a choice of what you want to do in life, where you want to study, if you choose to study, work, travel or do nothing at all. This […]
Trigger warning: mental and physical abuse I really, really enjoy A.S. King’s writing (see my review of Ask the Passengers here) but every time I pick up a book of hers, I’m a little taken aback by how weird and quirky it is and it takes me a while to get into it. I definitely had that experience […]
