Review: Where She Went by Gayle Forman

Review: Where She Went by Gayle Forman

It was a long time after I read If I Stay before I read Where She Went. I was scared! If I Stay crushed my heart and had me ugly crying for the majority of the book. I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to be emotionally read for Where She Went. Then I got it from the library so I sort of had to read it before I returned it. 🙂 Where She Went takes place 3 years […]

I’m not very into politics. I have a tendency to stay out of strongly political conversations. But when Netgalley emailed me about this one, I was intrigued by the point of view of a girl smack dab in the middle of all of this. I decided to check it out and I’m glad I did! In The Tyrant’s Daughter, Laila along with her six year old brother and mother have fled their home after the murder of her father. In the […]

I normally am not a fan of story retellings in a different POV because I mean, you’ve already read the story so you know what happens.

And while it tells the same story, there are new scenes and it was so good you guys!! Technically this is considered a novella. Goodreads tells me […]

So, I thought I was going to hate Dirty Red. I mean, I almost gave the Opportunist 2 stars and this one was going to feature holy freaking LEAH – who I hate more than words can describe. I felt like once I started reading I would want to tear my hair out (and hers). I was wrong actually. I found her story fascinating. The sequel to The Opportunist is written from Leah’s POV. Leah is a bitch — and she […]

For virtual book club, Betty, Chelsea, Racquel and I were going to read Wrecked — it was read now on netgalley! There’s a hot guy, apparently an MMA fighter, and the cover displays some nice abs and what Betty taught us were “penis pointers”. This was hilarious and it was probably the bright spot in reading this book. The book starts off with Lorrie about to start up at college again after having to take off a year. Her parents […]
