3.5 stars — I will admit I was worried about how I was going to like this book. But in general there were still a lot of things that delighted me and made my heart happy. I think where it faltered were issues from the first book that weren’t solved in this book — mainly […]
4.5 stars — Well, I’m in a glass case of emotion. I’m not saying the whole book was a cryfest, but I am saying that I cried forcefully on several occasions. But for me, that’s not a bad thing. In fact, for a debut book I think it’s kind of an awesome thing. I shouldn’t […]
4.5 stars — This felt like a true coming of age YA novel…just one that brings more diversity and representation. And while I learned a LOT about being trans, and about all the different flavours of queer out there, if you break it down it’s also just about Felix figuring out who he is, coming into […]
3.5 stars — This was an up and down read for me. I was hella intrigued by the blurb, and I just needed a short satisfying YA read, you know? There were aspects I definitely loved, but I also felt like the story was a bit drawn out and boring at times…it was just missing […]
This one started out super strong then kinda fizzled at the end. I’m glad it is only a two book series but I’d really love to hear what happens between Cade and Jules. So Reid and Briar are pretty strong even though they are both working through how deep their feelings for each other go […]
First off, let me say I had NO IDEA this was the same author as Uppercut Princess AND The Ballers of Rockport High series. I LOVED both of those series and now I’ve stumbled onto this dualogy too! Now I am actively looking at her other series to read. She is pretty diverse in her […]
4 stars — OMG, this one tested my second hand embarrassment tolerance to the highest degree. And like, not even that exactly, but just being so annoyed with a main character, and wanting them to do better and be better! I almost put it in the freezer…it was that bad. I actually got worried about […]
Favorite Quotes: Perspective is important, isn’t it? Something that seems so horrible one minute, is like a drop in the ocean the next. That’s the shit I need to stop doing, letting other’s actions influence my own happiness. I am the source of my happiness. I must also remember that I am the designer of […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars (rounded up) — this book was fabulous but emotionally draining… So much happened, and it really felt like a real story, where things were not perfect and suddenly happily ever after. The love between Nick and Alix was inspiring…even as it went through the ringer. I think I fell in love […]
It was ok, the storyline was a bit choppy but I liked it enough. It was a similar story to other bully RH’s I’ve read. Except I don’t think this one kept me interested enough to keep reading this series. The fact that I don’t remember anything about this book tells me that even though […]
