We Were Liars by E. Lockhart: Mini Review

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart: Mini Review

I have heard some pretty great things about this book, and so  I decided to borrow it from the library, and I am a little.. underwhelmed. I’m not disappointed, but I’m not so impressed with it either. I think it’s due to the hype, because of the large amount of people saying how great the […]

The Art of Lainey by Paula Stokes

The Art of Lainey by Paula Stokes

I read The Art of Lainey a while ago, and this review is very late, but hey- better late than never! While I have read it a while ago, I don’t find myself forgetting what happened in it, which rarely happens any more. The Art of Lainey is one of the cutest summer reads I’ve read this […]

Famous in Love by Rebecca Serle

Famous in Love by Rebecca Serle

I received an ARC of this book at BEA, this does not affect the content of my review. I finished reading Famous in Love a week ago and it has taken me this long to write a review because honestly, I feel so conflicted. I really enjoyed this book up until the end but there were […]

Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld

Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld

Afterworlds was probably one of my most anticipated reads for the year. I have read (and loved) Westerfeld’s Leviathon trilogy and his Uglies series was probably one of the first YA series I’ve ever read. So when I found out that Scott Westerfeld had a new book coming out and it’s about a teenage writer, […]

Evidence of Things Not Seen by Lindsey Lane

Evidence of Things Not Seen by Lindsey Lane

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for review but this does not affect the contents of my review nor my feelings towards the book. To say that Evidence of Things Not Seen is unlike anything I’ve ever read is not an exaggeration. However, it doesn’t mean that I enjoyed it immensely. Evidence of Things […]

100 Sideways Miles by Andrew Smith

100 Sideways Miles by Andrew Smith

I am constantly searching for the perfect unique contemporary and I’m happy to report that 100 Sideways Miles has made the list. 100 Sideways Miles is about a teen named Finn Easton and his particular knack for measuring time in distance. I sort of understand how he does it but I am no fan of math so […]

Of course, Kyle, Paul’s ex, comes back in the picture and Paul screws up, big time. Now it’s up to Paul to fix the pieces of his life. In short, Boy Meets Boy is your  average […]
