I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys

I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys

4 stars — This is definitely outside my normal genre to read, but I kind of loved how it allowed me to learn of some little known (in the West) history through a fictional perspective.  I’m just not as interested in non-fiction, so I loved having this opportunity to expand my horizons while still giving […]

Upsy Daisy by Chelsie Edwards

4.5 stars — I feel like it’s been awhile since I’ve been this emotionally impacted by a story.  Daisy GOT to me.  Like, I felt so hard for her, even despite the HUGE mistakes she was making all over the place.  And it wasn’t just her, Trevor too!  My poor hubby had to try to […]
