Camp is a fun and summery book set at Camp Outland, a camp for queer teens, and does a great job of basically destroying toxic masculinity. Camp Outland is a place where queer teens are free to be themselves, away from the outside world where they might be hiding who they really are. The novel is […]
The Good Things A Kelley Armstrong novel! She’s one of my favourite authors and I’m terribly behind on her novels, especially her newer YA stuff. They’re all really entertaining. Standalone YA thriller. Pacing starts off nice and fast. I couldn’t put it down. The villain likes to taunt Winter and it’s really creepy and terrifying. […]
You Should See Me in a Crown brought me so much joy and delight in the few short hours that it took me to listen to the audiobook. It was the perfect mix of cute and fluffy, with some more serious themes of anxiety, chronic illness and homophobia. If you’re looking for a quick contemporary with […]
The Good Things #LoveOzYA murder mystery set in Melbourne! It’s such an Aussie book. Even without all the location names, you would be able to tell this is set in Australia. It’s more than just a mystery. There’s a fair bit of time spent on Rachel’s family dynamics and their struggles. I enjoyed reading about […]
Only Mostly Devastated was such a cute and heartfelt contemporary novel about grief, family, friendship and identity. It was lighthearted and adorable, but also explored some complex and serious themes, including loss and sexual identity. I enjoyed the themes, the characters and the writing immensely and I’m keen to pick up Sophie Gonzales’s debut novel to […]
This was my very first Kerstin Gier read and I couldn’t resist picking this up when I saw it while browsing Audible. I had heard good things about the Ruby Red series and the cover of this book looked so cute. While I enjoyed the setting of the book a lot, I couldn’t connect with the characters […]
Tweet Cute was such a cute book! It was simultaneously exactly what I had expected and nothing like I thought it would be. There were a few twists and turns in it that I didn’t see coming and it was really fun to read. The novel follows Pepper, who occasionally helps with the social media […]
I love both Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed so much and I was so excited to hear that they had collabed on a book. I was equally excited to be part of the blog tour for this wonderful book and I’m happy to announce that there are 3 copies up for grabs at the end […]
I’ve read all of Sarah Crossan’s books and Toffee is probably my favourite of hers. Like with her other books, Toffee tackles hard-hitting topics in verse and makes us feel all of the emotions. And because it’s written in verse, it’s a really quick but impactful read. Toffee is a beautiful story about families of choice and finding acceptance […]
