3.5 stars — There were some absolutely shining moments in this book, moments where I laughed out loud, steamy moments that definitely worked for me. But there were also some little nitpicky things that bothered me, and if you know me at all, you know I’m not huge on miscommunication stuff in books. And this […]
3.5 stars — This book did not start off strong. Neither of our main characters were all that endearing, especially at the start. Lila was uptight, overreactive, comes across a bit like a bitch, can be judgey. You don’t get to see a lot of her good qualities off the bat. But luckily I was […]
4.5 stars — Quirky and fun and odd, but maybe a titch drawn out longer than I would have normally liked. This was a new narrator for me, and she was solid. She had a lot of qualities that reminded me of some of my favourite narrators — solid different voices, great pacing and emotions. […]
4 stars — Well, that was me stepping WAYYYYYY outside my comfort zone. In multiple ways. First, I am wholeheartedly NOT a non-fiction reader. Like, I don’t gravitate towards it at all, and this might be the first voluntary non-fiction read of mine. It helped that it was also full of humour and satire, so […]
4.5 stars — Oh look, another strange disjointed thoughts review…you’re welcome. Very atmospheric. I could imagine the world and the people and the mythology. Loved the whole existence of Gods, but not really present as much anymore. I enjoyed the narrator — found it was one of those rare books that I enjoyed reading and […]

5 stars — This book blew me away in all the best ways. It was adorable. It was thought provoking. It was emotional. It was everything I love about YA, with the added bonus of expanding my horizons in multiple ways through double diversity. I honestly don’t even know what to say, except that Liz was […]

Three (including today’s) will be individual reviews shared on each of our sites, while 3 will be co-reviews shared […]
4.5 stars — This one surprised me with how much I loved it. Both narrators were new for me, but I enjoyed them both. They had great pacing, great emotions, and pretty good distinct voices. Mr. Griffith nailed Ethan’s kindness and occasional innocence. Ms. McKenna NAILED Naomi’s dryness, and the balance between her hard edges […]
4 stars — Well, that was entirely unexpected!! I actually started off listening to the audiobook for this one, and while I was really enjoying Ms. Nankani’s narration, all of the online chatting made for a tedious listening experience (because she had to read off EVERYTHING). And confusing on occasion. So I switched to the […]
