ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — Fabulous! If you love movies like She’s The Man, this will fit your bill. The main plot isn’t unique, but I loved the new setting of in the future. What a strange imagination the author has, and it was definitely not a utopic future. Not always as lighthearted as the […]
4.5 stars — OK, yet again, I am not a fantasy or historical type reader. They kind of intimidate me. And I’m actually not generally that well versed on mythology of any kind. But I’ve enjoyed this author in the past, and an author friend of mine raved about this book, so I had to […]
3 stars — If you already know Ms. Scott’s writing, and you loved her Waiting on the Sidelines series, then I think you will love this one as well. Unfortunately that’s not my fave of Ms. Scott’s work, and I found myself struggling with similar things in this story. Lily feels like a bit of […]
4 stars — Confession: I have never read Pride & Prejudice. *sigh* I know, throw stones, whatever… I don’t even have the desire to! *gasp* right? I have, however, watched and loved both the BBC 6-part mini series, and the more recent Keira Knightly edition. So I have a feel for the story and its characters. […]
3.5 stars — This was a very hard book to read at times…one that brought out a lot of emotions for me. LOTS of feels for sure (some “trying to be quiet because my husband’s sleeping” bawling too), but also frustration. Teenagers are SO FRUSTRATING!! Which basically means that Nicole was very authentic to me. […]
3.5 stars — This was a diverse read that felt like it was there for more than just face value. We weren’t just told that Rabi was Muslim and Pakistani, we got to see a bit of his life and some of his traditions (such as prayer on Fridays). I really appreciated that. Sometimes I […]
3.5 stars — Well that was definitely entertaining! I expected a bit of a more dramatic climax, but that could have been just me. I am definitely intrigued to know where the series is going to go though, and how it’s all going to shape up. And if I find out this is actually NOT […]
4.5 stars — I’m a day late, but I started reading this book to fulfill the January theme for one of my Diversity challenges, which was “Stories based on/ inspired by diverse folktales/culture/mythology.” This book fit that theme PERFECTLY and I’m so glad I picked it up with this challenge in mind, b/c I was […]
