Dissonance was: Interesting. The concept was pretty cool. A little confusing. There were pivot points, inversions, baroque events, and more. Just when I thought I’d be getting the hang of one term, another would be introduced, then I’d lose my grasp on BOTH of them. […]

Review: The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson
Overall, I adored The Kiss of Deception! The idea of the book is just so fabulous. A princess has an arranged marriage with the prince, but she’s never even met the guy so she certainly doesn’t love him, so she runs away. The prince sets […]
DNF Review: The Sweet Spot by Stephanie Evanovich
I stopped reading at the 32% mark. I noticed pretty early on that The Sweet Spot was like 100% telling and 0% showing. The sequence of events is just laid out with no emotion, no “moments”, no personality—nothing real. It’s literally like: Amanda meets Chase. […]
Review: Don’t Try to Find Me by Holly Brown
Wow. Don’t Try to Find Me is going to be a tough one to review! This book had so many different sides and layers; it’s almost hard to absorb. It’s also REALLY hard to talk about this book without spoilers. Those kind of reviews are […]
Review: The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith
To say the least, The Geography of You and Me was a huge disappointment. I was SO excited about this book because it was about long distance and my husband and I suffered through a long distance relationship for years. I thought I’d be able […]
On the Fence by Kasie West
I liked On the Fence, but I think it was shallower and fluffier than I expected/hoped it would be. Here are the different elements of the story: Charlie’s dead mom, and Charlie struggling to grow up without a mother figure Charlie trying to find her […]
Free to Fall by Lauren Miller
Holy mother conspiracy! Free to Fall was riddled with secrets, societies, plots, world domination! It was INSANE! Every time we uncovered one layer of the plot, we learned about something else—a totally new layer. It just kept building and building and building until it was […]
Fan Art by Sarah Tregay
Fan Art was adorable! Even though I’ve never been in his situation, I totally connected with Jamie! He’s ‘out’ to his parents, but can’t come out to Mason because he’s afraid that it will change their friendship (for the worse). I completely understood his reasons […]
Tiger’s Promise by Colleen Houck
I’m bummed that Tiger’s Promise was only a novella; I could have read a whole book about Yesubai! I adored Yesubai’s story. It was inspiring, but tragic. There was a constant feeling of dread as I was reading the book (like “I think something bad […]
#scandal by Sarah Ockler
I thought this was going to be an awesome book for me. A gamer girl, social media, hackers, scandals, a little Nancy Drew, and a romance! OHMYGOD those are all Ashley things and you might as well put a ribbon on this book and send […]
