Mini Reviews: A Kiss In The Dark, American Panda, I Believe In A Thing Called Love

Posted May 21, 2018 by Wendy in Mini Reviews, Reviews / 0 Comments

My Thoughts: The cover is really cute and the premise sounds fun and adorable. Unfortunately this one completely missed the mark for me and I really struggled to finish the book. There are two timelines, junior year and senior year, that alternate through out the book. Something happened junior year that screwed up Macy’s friendships and the alternating timelines are supposed to reveal the story. Unfortunately… both timelines came off really dull to me — both are wholly encompassed by homecoming […]

Why Did I Read? Oh the hype was huge for this one! The cover is gorgeous! Dark fairytales! It sounded fascinating and JUST like my sort of thing! My Thoughts: Spoiler alert: I was such a black sheep on this one. The premise is really intriguing.

That’s my favorite part about retellings — seeing the unique twists that authors come up with and how they fit into this brand new story and still seeing […]

Why Did I Read? The great outdoors! Hiking! It’s my thing! Plus I loved Jenn Bennett’s YA contemporary last year too! My Thoughts: I could not have picked a more perfect time to read Starry Eyes. I was on a multi day backpacking hiking trip in New Zealand when I read it! I was literally out in the forest and the great outdoors as I read about Zorie and Lennon hacking it out there. Firstly, a little bit of background: I […]

Why Did I Read? I love Miranda Kenneally’s Hundred Oaks series so of course, I needed to continue the series! My Thoughts: I so enjoyed this one!! I loved Maya and her strong personality. She’s so vibrant, you just get sucked into her brilliant energy! I loved her family unit too, which brings me to the other thing I loved so much: seeing Sam and Jordan all these years later! I love that in the Hundred Oaks books, you’ll see […]
