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 […]
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 […]
This book was undeniably cute and full of sweet moments. There were also many hilarious (and quite embarrassing) scenes that had me giggling the whole time! All in all, this light, fluffy contemporary is such a lovely read that’ll definitely give you all the fuzzies. The characters were absolutely endearing and the romance was absolutely […]
To say I adored this book would be an understatement. Girl Against the Universe was a book that hit all the right buttons for me, and it is doubtless one of the best contemporaries I’ve read this year. (In fact, including this one, only three among the ten or so I’ve read really stick out.) […]
To read, or not to read, that is the question: Whether ’tis Nobler in the mind to suffer The Cliches and Holes of outrageous Books, Or to take Arms against a Sea of words, And by opposing end them: to finish, to suffer No more; I think that we can all agree on how we’re drowning in a TBR […]
While Ruined was a very fun read, it didn’t really stand out from the dozens of fantasies out there in YA literature. The blurb comes off a bit dark, as the main character Emelina seems to be very focused on revenge for the deaths of her parents, the king and queen of Ruina. While there […]
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 […]
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 […]
This book was fast-paced, fun, and full of action! Future Shock brings a cast of characters together to go into the future and bring back information on what’s happening over there. Elena is an orphan, and we start the book with her being rejected from yet another job. Thus, when Aether Corporation provides an opportunity […]
