Just Visiting by Dahlia Adler

Just Visiting by Dahlia Adler

I received a copy of this book from the author (Thanks Dahlia!), this does not influence my thoughts on the book or my review. I am always looking for more YA books that deal with female friendship and Just Visiting was exactly what I was looking for.

I Crawl Through It by A.S. King

I Crawl Through It by A.S. King

I received an early copy of this book from my co-blogger. This does not influence my thoughts on the book.  You don’t even understand how much I love A.S. King. I’ve read almost all of her books (which I will surely fix soon) and I loved every single one of them. And of course, I Crawl […]

Every Last Word by Tamara Ireland Stone

Every Last Word by Tamara Ireland Stone

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. This does not influence my thoughts about the book. As much as I love contemporary YA, I rarely read books that address mental illness, or ones that portray it well. I’m happy to say that Every Last Word is a thoughtful, moving read about OCD that is […]
