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 […]

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 Iron King by Julie Kagawa

The Iron King by Julie Kagawa

My friend begged me to read this series so here I am. I’ll be blunt here: I enjoyed most of the book but a key element of the book just pissed me the heck off. What is this key element I speak of? It is the freakin’ romance. I dislike when books are heavily based […]

The Distance Between Us by Kasie West

The Distance Between Us by Kasie West

Cheesy and feel-good contemporaries are my favourite books. I love reading something short and sweet that I  can gush and fangirl over. I’m pleased to say that The Distance Between Us is a book that meets all of this awesome criteria. Once again, I find myself a little stumped to write when writing this review because no […]

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 […]
