Otherbound by Corinne Duyvis

Otherbound by Corinne Duyvis

When I first heard about Otherbound,  I knew I had to request it. A LGBT book with awesome fantasy elements? Sign me up! Nolan, our main character, is a teenager who enters the mind of Amara, a young servant in a mythical land, every time he closes his eyes. Of course, Amara slowly figures out what is happening […]

Better Off Friends by Elizabeth Eulberg

Better Off Friends by Elizabeth Eulberg

When I first opened up this book, I knew I would love it. I’ve read my fair share of contemporary books and I can honestly say that Better off Friends is unique and nothing like I’ve read before. Basically, Better Off Friends is easily one of my favourite reads of 2014 and possibly ever. I recommend this one to contemporary lovers […]

Midnight Thief by Livia Blackburne

Midnight Thief by Livia Blackburne

Funny story, I didn’t plan on reading The Midnight Thief so early. And by early I mean in May (with it being released in July and all that jazz) but my “lovely” friends Crystal and Jenna basically MADE ME! And you know what? After all their taunting and pushing and talk about the book I […]

Vivian Divine is Dead by Lauren Sabel

Vivian Divine is Dead by Lauren Sabel

I want to start this review by saying I did not finish Vivian Divine is Dead. To be perfectly honest I made it 42 pages in got annoyed, guessed the ending, flipped to the last chapter and found out my guess was right. “So why even write a review Octavia? Why bother yourself or us […]

Attachments by Rainbow Rowell

Attachments by Rainbow Rowell

As one of Rainbow Rowell’s avid fans, I knew I needed to read Attachments to earn fully-fledged fangirl status and I’m so glad that I did. While Attachments is an adult romance (which I do not read often), it still had the elements of Rainbow’s writing that I love so much. Lincoln works for a newspaper company, reading […]

Far From You by Tess Sharpe

Far From You by Tess Sharpe

I saw this one at my local  library right when it came out and I quickly snatched it up. I’ve heard so many great things about Far From You and I’m glad that I can join the list of book pushers that will force you to read this one. Sophie’s best friend, Mina, was murdered […]

Ask Again Later by Liz Czukas

Ask Again Later by Liz Czukas

I always start my contemporary reviews stating “you guys know how much I love contemporaries, right? So when I heard about *book title*, I knew I had to get my hands on it.” I guess this calls for a better introduction. Here goes nothing: Do you guy like books about : Prom? with two dates? […]

The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Mathieu

The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Mathieu

The Truth About Alice is unlike anything I’ve read before. Described through several point of views, The Truth About Alice is the story of Alice, a girl who everyone thinks is a slut. But is she? Well, that’s for readers to find out. I really enjoyed the unique premise of The Truth About Alice but I find myself struggling to […]

One Man Guy by Michael Barakiva

One Man Guy by Michael Barakiva

One Man Guy was a refreshing and unique contemporary read. Alek is an Armenian teenager living in a New Jersey suburb and when his parents tell him that he’s going to summer school, he never imagined that he would meet Ethan (who is basically the cutest guy ever). Honestly, I’m not sure how to accurately describe One […]
