I actually started out liking Amour Amour. I read through the first ~20% really quickly and I enjoyed it. The circus and gymnastic aspect was really interesting! It was different than anything I’d read before and I was really excited for more. Then, when the […]

DNF Review: Love and Other Theories by Alexis Bass
I’m not a party girl, I don’t drink, and I love relationships (even in high school). Going into Love and Other Theories I knew it was going to be anti-relationship, and I was okay with that. I was mostly interested in Aubrey’s transformation and finally […]
Review: Girl Online by Zoe Sugg
Upon starting Girl Online, my first impressions were: This author uses way too many exclamation marks. This book feels extremely childish. I eventually got over that first point. Well, either I “got over” it or the author stopped using so many exclamation marks… But that […]
Review: Captivated by You by Sylvia Day
In a nutshell: I finished Captivated by You and was pleased. It was nice to be reunited with these characters and I enjoyed the book. It wasn’t until after some reflection that I realized nothing happened. In the grand scheme of things, Captivated by You […]

The gang and thrill part of On the Edge was pretty awesome. I loved the danger and how people were standing up to violence, gangs, and all that goes with them (drugs, sex trafficking, etc.). What I liked less was the romance. I liked the […]

Review: Solitaire by Alice Oseman – Wow, you are bitter
I stopped reading this book at 27%. Let’s talk about Solitaire In the book, Solitaire is some kind of blog/prankster group. We learn pretty quickly that their blog URL is http://solitaire.co.uk . My first thought (which continued to bug me throughout the book) was: “There’s […]
Review: Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover (What the heck happened here?)
Oh gosh, you guys. My feelings for Ugly Love are so weird and complex! Do you ever feel like you’re really starry-eyed and EVERYTHING IS AWESOOOOME, then suddenly a veil is lifted and you see all the imperfections? That happened to me while reading Ugly […]
Review: Get Even by Gretchen McNeil
Well that was disappointing. Get Even actually starts off with potential. Actually, it started off confusing with four different girls that I kept getting mixed up… but the potential did slowly weave itself in. But after about the halfway point, things went downhill. And by […]
