Look out Sherlock Holmes, because you’re not the only detective in town. Stalking Jack the Ripper introduces Audrey Rose, who is probably one of my favorite heroines up to date. One of my favorite things about historical fiction is reading about characters that goes against society’s conventions, and Audrey Rose fits that description to a […]
I was expecting great, great things from It Ends With Us and I was a little bit let down. It’s been established that I definitely do not have a heart of steel but yet I didn’t find myself connecting with the emotion of the story or shedding a tear at what happened in this book. […]
Think: fluffy, clumsy, idiosyncratic and heartwarming. I think those are good words that sum up this book. It’s a fairly quick read, and having a contemporary setting and easy-to-follow dialogue make it go even quicker. The author had some great things to say about high school and the behavior of teenagers in general. It was […]
I’m finally glad to be getting this review out of the way. Not only have I been stuck at 78% of this book since getting an advanced copy months ago, but I can’t bring myself to finish it. The original luster of the plot that so attracted me in the beginning has really lost its […]

The Memory Book reduced me to a puddle of tears and I spent an entire night crying about it. Which is what makes this book perfect for me because I cannot resist a cryworthy contemporary story. Sammie has an incurable neurological disease that is slowly causing her to lose her memory and will eventually claim […]
A couple adjectives to describe this book would be adorable, quick, fluffy, and light. It almost played out like a high school movie. We have very authentic characters dealing with various real life situations that influence the way they act. Even though the short length of the book means that these situations aren’t fleshed-out as […]
Historical is one of my favourite fiction genres and Salt to the Sea was everything that I love about historical fiction, with a cherry on top. It was impactful and emotional and I don’t think I could have asked for anything more. Salt to the Sea was an extremely well researched novel. The book follows […]
