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 […]

The Art of Lainey by Paula Stokes
The Art of Lainey was adooorable! I enjoyed The Art of Lainey from the very beginning. There were a few times when I wondered if the book was too young for me, just because of how much Lainey still had to learn. She cared SO […]
Side Effects May Vary by Julie Murphy
I was disappointed in Side Effects May Vary 🙁 There were two main problems for me: I didn’t like the “then” and “now” style of narration (I don’t think it worked well here), and the main character quickly became very unlikable, and that made it […]
Life of a Blogger: The Past & Plans for the Future
I sort of modified this “Life of a Blogger” topic a bit. I want to talk about the past and the future. I sort of got this idea from Charlotte’s post on why she wants to grow up. The Past I’ve always been ready to […]
Maybe One Day by Melissa Kantor
I almost didn’t read Maybe One Day, and oh my god that would have been a massive mistake! I think my problem was that I like romance books, and this is not a romance; it’s about friendship. Those kinds of books usually don’t get me […]
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 […]
DNF: Heartbeat by Elizabeth Scott
I’m completely heartbroken over here. I’m DEVASTATED that I didn’t love Heartbeat. I think I’m mostly devastated because it has all the makings of a brilliant book, but the main character killed any enjoyment I could have had for it. In a word, Emma is […]
The Promise of Amazing by Robin Constantine
I am absolutely drowning in indecision. Did I like The Promise of Amazing? Was it only okay? UGH! I don’t know!! I started out on excellent terms with The Promise of Amazing. I thought Wren was funny, had a great personality, and I could completely […]
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 […]
Golden by Jessi Kirby
I liked Golden, but I didn’t LOVE it I think the #1 problem was that I over-hyped Golden for myself. It’s the book that everyone loved, and I wanted to love, so I went into it expecting to ADORE it, but that didn’t quite happen, […]
