[Mini-Review] The Lover’s Dictionary by David Levithan

[Mini-Review] The Lover’s Dictionary by David Levithan

I have no idea how to even describe The Lover’s Dictionary. Essentially, it’s a dictionary. But instead of the meaning of each word, it’s a short paragraph describing a scenario,thought or action involving that word. Specially, involving the main character and his lover. Hence, The Lover’s Dictionary is a perfect title. I’m not going to lie: I […]

The Novice by Taran Matharu

I received a copy of this book from the publisher, this does not influence my review. DNF at 10%. Okay, I really hate DNFing books, I really do. But after spending 4 days attempting to read and just wasting my time, I had to DNF. I love character driven books. If I can’t connect to […]

The Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver

The Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver

I received a copy of this book from the publisher, this does not influence my review. I have to start this review stating my own bias: I have a twin, and this heavily influences the way I read The Secrets We Keep. But let me back up first, what is The Secrets We Keep actually about? Maddy […]

Becoming Jinn by Lori Goldstein

Becoming Jinn by Lori Goldstein

I received this book for review from the publisher, that does not influence my review. I’m not usually into paranormal books, but I love reading interpretations of mythological creatures/beings, and Becoming Jinn sounded like the perfect mix of contemporary fiction + supernatural! Azra has always known she’s a Jinn. Her mother, and her grandmother and her […]

Things We Know by Heart by Jessi Kirby

Things We Know by Heart by Jessi Kirby

I received an electronic copy of this book. This does not effect the contents of my review! I am a huge contemporary fan, and when I heard about this unique-sounding novel, I had to request it! Quinn’s boyfriend passed away over a year ago, and now she is searching for the person who received his […]

I mean, meeting people in your dreams that you haven’t met before and then recognizing them at a new school the next day? Seems pretty awesome! When Olivia (Liv) moves […]

All the Rage by Courtney Summers

All the Rage by Courtney Summers

I received a copy of this book from the publisher, this does not influence the contents of my review. I am a huge contemporary fan but I am vastly behind on reading books revolving deeper issues, as I tend to stray towards light and fluffy ones. As I realize that books help shield some horrors […]

The Queen of Bright and Shiny Things by Ann Aguirre

I received an ARC of this from the publisher, this does not influence my review.  I have heard great things about Ann Aguirre’s NA books so when I heard about a new romance YA from her, I was definitely interested! Sage has been living for 3 years with her aunt in a small quaint town. She’s been […]
