my life production through the pages
Sadly, 99% Faking It was just an okay read for me. I loved pretty much everything about the story except for the romantic relationship, which truly is the core of the story. In 99% Faking It by Chris Cannon, Lisa has a crush on Matt, but Matt has a crush on another girl. So Lisa decides it’s […]
Ashley Elston’s books and I have a fairly amazing track record. Everything I’ve read by her thus far has been at least a 4 star read. (I think the only book I haven’t read is The Lying Woods. I really should pick up a copy of that…) It should be noted that 10 Blind Dates is different […]
If you love baseball, summery feel good reads, and YA contemporary romances Announing Trouble by Amy Fellner Dominy is for you. It’s a story filled with fun banter, laugh out loud moments, baseball, and dreams. In Announcing Trouble, the main characters, Josie and Garrett, are high school seniors along with their friends. Josie has a practical future […]
**SPOILER ALERT: This review may contain spoilers for the first book in the series. Please do not read this review if you have not yet read Flame in the Mist. You may click here for my review of Flame in the Mist. I think I would have enjoyed Smoke in the Sun by Renee Ahdieh more if […]
I wanted to love We Hunt the Flame. Hafsah Faizal has been a part of the YA bookish community for a very long time, and I remember being very excited for her release. Unfortunately, for me, We Hunt the Flame simply did not live up to the excitement. “People lived because she killed.” “People died because […]
I’ve always wanted to pick up a Cindi Madsen book, and I’m kicking myself for not reading any until now. Just One of the Groomsmen was such a fun friends-to-lovers romance. I can’t wait to see what’s next for this series. I also will definitely be checking out her other books. If you’re looking for a […]
The day is finally upon us. Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff has been out for approximately two weeks, and I’m finally reviewing it! Aurora Rising was arguably my most anticipated 2019 release. (It was quite possibly also the most hyped.) I absolutely loved Kaufman and Kristoff’s Illuminae Files, which I finished over this past Christmas […]
Jennifer Lynn Barnes is one of my go-to authors. I’ve read most of the books she’s published, and if I haven’t read it, I want to read it. She is one of my favorite YA mystery authors, and she did not disappoint with The Lovely and the Lost. It was full of fun characters, dogs with […]
I’m going to throw this out there now. If it wasn’t obvious from the synopsis, Ask Me Anything by Molly E. Lee is a very sex-positive novel. Personally, I think Lee addressed the topic of sex education in a very unique and positive way, and I absolutely loved it. Not only is it a solid YA […]
