Did I read the same book that everyone else read? I did not love Eleanor & Park. I didn’t even particularly like it. I thought it started out pretty good and I thought the main characters (Park in particular) were kind of cute. But then […]

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
It took me a million and one years to finally pick up The Fault in Our Stars. Honestly, I think I put it off for two main reasons: 1) I thought the cover was boring, and 2) I just wasn’t into cancer books. But after […]
For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund
For Darkness Shows the Stars is the kind of book that I don’t think is bad, but I think it requires the right person and the right tastes in order to enjoy it. Unfortunately for me, I don’t think I’m the right person. This book […]
Spies and Prejudice by Talia Vance
Spies and Prejudice started out really strong for me. I loved Berry’s voice, her name (!!), her whole “spy girl” thing, and her Saint Bernard. The plot was interesting, the best friend character (Mary Chris) was great.. We were rolling! But then my interest dropped […]
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith
Well this book was adorable! ..And not nearly as cute and fluffy as I thought it was going to be. It had a more serious undertone, that I really enjoyed! I was nervous going into this book. I mean, The Statistical Probability of Love at […]
Going Vintage by Lindsey Leavitt
Going Vintage isn’t exactly a mind-blowing piece of work. It’s cute, it’s fluffy, it’s not quite perfect, and it’s a good “in-between” book—meaning it’s something you read in between amazing books, but it’s not an amazing book in itself. I felt like Going Vintage started […]
Requiem by Lauren Oliver
I had a couple ups and downs with Requiem, but at the end of the day, I enjoyed it. It is an intense conclusion to the series, with a lot at stake, and a lot to fight for. The Resistance really dominates this book—struggling to […]
Review & Giveaway: Nobody But Us by Kristin Halbrook
What I took away from this book is that it’s less about the romance and more about young kids making bad decisions and learning about the consequences. If you want to be able to appreciate the romance in this story, I think you have to […]
Revolution 19 by Gregg Rosenblum
Revolution 19 is so far my biggest disappointment of winter 2013 releases. I thought it was going to be AMAZING! With a great cover and a great blurb, I envisioned a crazy world thrown into war and chaos, with Terminator Transformers whooping ass left and […]
Lies Beneath by Anne Greenwood Brown
This book is what you get when you mix mermaids with vampires. The idea of deadly, killer mermaids is awesome! It’s a cool twist that I enjoyed. But I wish the author went further into the mermaid lore. Where do they come from? How do […]
