3 stars — This one had potential, and I was excited to read another F/F, but unfortunately it fell flat. The storyline was actually kind of boring, there was barely any conflict. I mean, I don’t mind lots of happy times, but there has to be something driving the story. The editing was HORRIBLE. And […]
4 stars — This was a cute little read! It was short and, as a result, things moved quite quickly — which isn’t always a bad thing, but it did feel a bit quick on the feelings front. But even as short as it was, it still had some great messages for teens…that I think […]
3.5 stars — This was one of those ones where I felt a bit conflicted. I was drawn right into this story, and after having been a bit burned out, I was so excited to be pulled into reading again. But our heroes, particularly Miles, were really volatile characters, and occasionally that made me uncomfortable. […]
4 stars — OK, I’m about to disappoint my friend Joooood. While I enjoyed Ms. DeLisle’s narration, she wasn’t my favourite. She was fantastic during normal narration, and with Blythe’s thoughts, but I was only meh on her other character dialogue narration. I think I’m really picky about that. It was partly that I wasn’t […]
4.5 stars — Please excuse me while I attempt to recover…. *weeps silently* OK, that probably gives an inaccurate vibe of the book…it has sad parts, but it’s not overall a sad book. I am just a ridiculously weepy person, so I’m quick to bawling. I must say, this is my second time reading this […]
This book started out so fast in the romance part. We don’t even know anything about these characters yet. It was a blind side in that aspect. They saw each other in the first five minutes and they are already making out. This book jumped right in and I was lost from gate. I’m not […]
4.5 stars — It’s been a LONGGGGGGG time since I read Losing It, and I don’t know if I really remember it well. If I’d planned better, I probably would have wanted to reread it before reading this one, but I don’t think you lose that much by not doing that. I can honestly say […]
4.5 stars — This was definitely my favourite of the Rusk University series!! Mateo was just as adorable as I was expecting…and he was covering such a big hurt, my heart felt for him. Wish the fact he was hispanic had played into it somehow…never really knew much about him outside of Lina…except that one […]
4.5 stars — For a first foray into young adult, Ms. Bowen really nailed the feel of it — I ADORED IT!!! I loved all the different struggles we got to experience with Rachel. From navigating through her grief, adjusting to a father she’s never met, friendships that change and grow, and first love, it […]
4 stars — Oh, I enjoyed this one much more than the first one. I felt like the story resolved a lot better at the end. There were still storylines that I almost wish I had more of, otherwise I don’t know why they were included, but all in all much happier! I will admit, […]
