my life production through the pages
The Best Man Problem by Mariah Ankenman had a solid plot and two characters that haven’t had the best luck at love. Lilly has a rule not to date anyone in the wedding party and is surprised to find that her one night stand Lincoln is the best man in an upcoming wedding she’s hosting. […]
Note: I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions shared are my own. Keystone by Katie Delahanty was my first 5-star read of the year. I absolutely LOVED it. Social media went wrong. A school for thieves. & A whole lot of secrets. It was absolutely my kind […]
I never thought I’d say this, but I think Demon Bound was too fast paced for my tastes. There was solid characters, and the plot was exciting. However, when put all together, there was too much happening at one time for me to really immerse myself in their world and connect with Meena and Jake. […]
**SPOILER ALERT: This review may contain spoilers for the previous books in the series. Please do not read this review if you have not yet read Proof of Lies and Lies That Bind. We have reached the end of the Anastasia Phoenix series, and I think Diana Rodriguez Wallach finished off strong with End of the Lie. […]
Uprooted by Naomi Novik was a beautifully written and fairly popular fantasy novel. While I thoroughly enjoyed reading Uprooted, I didn’t quite love it. The plot was interesting, but the character development felt a bit flat. The plot of Uprooted was unique and unfolded in a manner, which kept me on my toes. I truly didn’t know how […]
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 […]
