On the Fence by Kasie West

On the Fence by Kasie West

If you know me well, then you’d know that while I love my fair share of awesome action-packed stories, I also love cute summer reads. And On the Fence is probably one of the cutest books I’ve read this summer. Having grown up with three brothers and only her dad, she doesn’t really know anything about […]

Open Road Summer by Emery Lord

Open Road Summer by Emery Lord

I’m sure you’ve all heard about Open Road Summer and it’s awesomeness (a.k.a Matt Finch). Well, I am here to confirm that the rumours are true! Open Road Summer is indeed, a great summer novel with one of the swooniest love-interests. For those too lazy to read the synopsis (which always includes myself), Open Road Summer centres around Reagan […]

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 […]

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 […]

Second Star by Alyssa B. Sheinmel

Second Star by Alyssa B. Sheinmel

When I read the synopsis for Second Star, I was super excited to read it. Peter Pan retelling? HECK YEA! Hook/Wendy/Peter love triangle? Uhm, YES! But sadly, I did not forsee the signs that this book was not for me. First, the surfing. This book has so much surfing, beachtime fun and other things I dislike […]
