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 […]

I Feel too Old for Some Things in YA Books
I know we always say, “You’re never too old for young adult books!” And to a certain extent, I still believe that to be true. However, I feel like there are some things I might be too old for. I think it’s a combination of […]
The Secret Diamond Sisters by Michelle Madow
It breaks my heart to write this review. I feel like I’m about to rip the book to shreds, and that saddens me. I actually met the author (very, very briefly) at BEA last year. She was SO SWEET and so excited about her upcoming […]
Afterparty by Ann Redisch Stampler
Afterparty has one hell of an opening paragraph! It starts with the end (near the end of the school year) and then backtracks back to the beginning of the school year. That REALLY pulled me in. See for yourself: Good girls don’t usually kill their […]
How to Love by Katie Cotugno
How to Love could have easily been a 4—or maybe even 5—star book, but there was one massive problem: Sawyer. Sawyer literally stole those stars one by one. POOF! GONE! He just chipped away at them every time he pulled a dickhead move that made […]
Beside Your Heart by Mary Whitney

Review & Giveaway: Wild Awake by Hilary T. Smith
I am so completely confused by Wild Awake. I read it, and I swear nothing happened. If you were to ask me to describe the plot of this book or the major conflict, I would have no idea what to tell you. Because there isn’t […]
September Girls by Bennett Madison
In a summary, September Girls is: Despite hearing some scary things about this book, I tried to go into it hopeful. I actually didn’t hate it right away. Then the awkward sexual sentences started rolling in randomly… but I still didn’t hate it. They were […]
Review & Giveaway: Dare You To by Katie McGarry
Dare You To is an emotional whirlwind of a book that fans of Pushing the Limits are sure to love! Was it as amazing as Pushing the Limits? Well, I personally enjoyed Noah and Echo’s story more. But Dare You To was still a strong […]
My Life After Now by Jessica Verdi
Life After Now was incredibly powerful and absolutely heartbreaking. For the first quarter of the book, my heart was HAMMERING. It’s that scared, nervous, anticipating feeling you get when you know something bad is going to happen and you’re morbidly curious but also a bit […]
