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.

Monty […]

I’d definitely listen to other audiobooks by her! The Story: Let me start off by saying there was quite a bit I liked in The Upside of Unrequited Love but I just really wasn’t a fan of the romance and a lot of aspects surrounding it really brought the book […]
