My excitement for The Thousandth Floor went like this: Receive the book at BEA16 and go, “Holy shit this sounds AMAZING!” After a few months, see that it largely gets 3 stars from my Goodreads friends, and go, “Well fuck. Maybe I won’t read it.” […]

DNF Review: Love and Other Theories by Alexis Bass
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 […]

One Tiny Lie by K.A. Tucker
Something crazy happened while reading One Tiny Lie. I had just finished reading Racing Savannah and it was 1:30am. I figured I’d just get started on One Tiny Lie and read for maybe 30 minutes. Well it’s quite possible that I read until 4am so […]
Finding It by Cora Carmack
The first thing you should know about Finding It is that it’s nothing like Losing It or Faking It. I thought Losing It and Faking It were great for a few reasons: the characters felt real, the scenes were hilariously awkward, and the relationships with […]
Going Under by S. Walden
Before reading this review or considering reading the book, take the content warning seriously. This book is heavy. It deals with rape, depression, plotting to be raped, consensual sex, and other illegal activities (underage drinking/drug use). Going Under is an incredible and fabulous book, but […]
