Why Did I Read? I have loved Jenn Bennett’s contemporaries! When I heard the synopsis for this one, I was so excited! Historical fiction, romance and European adventures – what else could I want?? My Thoughts: Lady Rogue was such a fun ride! It has nonstop action and adventure as Theo tromps through Eastern Europe in search of her treasure hunting father. Joining her on this journey is Huck, a childhood friend and boy she has so much history with. […]

Why Did I Read? The synopsis grabbed me right off the bat. It sounded riveting and interesting and then I started seeing all these glowing reviews come flooding in! My Thoughts: I had a really complicated relationship with this book! I really liked parts of the story but some areas also felt lacking. Let me explain.

What really drew me to Permanent Record is the fact that it’s about someone who just has no idea what to do with their life as a twenty year old. It’s that stage after high school when everyone now views you as an “adult” and they ask you about your major and your career aspirations when really, a mere year or less earlier, you were just a kid sitting in class and getting through high school. It’s like an unspoken […]

Why Did I Read? I really enjoyed Brigid Kemmerer’s Letters to the Lost and was excited to see what her latest contemporary was like! My Thoughts: Well, I know one thing. I can always trust Brigid to really hit me in the feels with her contemporaries. She manages to craft such heartbreaking stories with realistic family relationships. The push and pull of family and societal expectations and what would you do for those that you love? Where is the line […]

My Thoughts: Love From A to Z is such a beautifully told heartfelt story! It’s about Zayneb and Adam, two Muslim teens who randomly meet at the airport. It’s about friendship and love and the blatant racism and injustice that is so prevalent in our world today. It’s about navigating life through all its ups and downs and finding the people that are the marvels amongst the oddities. Zayneb and Adam are both at critical turning points in their lives […]
