After my terrible experience with this author’s book Beautiful Disaster (in which I DNF’d before getting to the halfway mark), I decided to give this one a try. I went into it trying not to dislike it, and the beginning turned out alright. The more I read it, however, the more I began to want […]
Not If I See You First was an eye-opener when it came to blind characters. Although she can’t see, Parker doesn’t need anyone’s help or pity, and she has her guard up when it comes to letting others in. After being in a car accident that resulted in losing her sight and mother, and then […]
I live for sad books. I love them with a passion and the more that a book can make me ugly-cry, the better. So it wasn’t really a huge surprise that I absolutely fell in love with The Honest Truth. This book is about 12-year-old Mark, who has been battling cancer on and off since […]
This is one of those books where I was super excited for, but it ended up being quite disappointing for how average it is. There is nothing about The Marked Girl that marks it out of the dozens of Young Adult books out there, despite the exciting premise and gorgeous cover. All the elements and characters we see […]

If there’s anything that I can trust Morgan Matson to […]

The journey featured the search for a map to guide the time travelling locations of the pirate ship, but […]
Despite this book being close to 500 pages long, I finished it in less than a day because I just could not put it down. I was so captivated by the world and the characters that I was just constantly thinking about the book. The first thing I noticed about this novel, which really surprised […]
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 […]
After hearing all the raves on The Wrath and the Dawn, I wanted to love it so much. But why do I have to overthink things? Why can’t I just enjoy a story for what it is? There were so many things that irked me about this book. Let’s start with the good bit. The sumptuous, atmospheric Arabian nights […]
