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 […]
This book satisfies by Rebellion Space on Science Fiction vs. Fantasy Bingo (#SFvFBingo) being hosted by Curiosity Killed the Bookworm. At first it started out slow but then I couldn’t get enough of it and I can’t wait for the next one to come out. The title called to me and the beautiful cover sold […]
I couldn’t get into this book. The story was too similar to the Disney beauty and the beast with the names just changed by one letter. Mrs. Potts was Ms. Dotts. Not very original. And she was so mean that I found her irredeemable by 19% in. So I had no interest in seeing her […]
4-stars — Huh, the book went in slightly different directions than I was expecting! I really didn’t expect the time travel-ish aspect to the story! No, that’s a lie. I knew there had to be something b/c of the hints at the end of the previous book. But I didn’t expect it to take up […]
4.5 stars — OK, first thing you should know about me is that I’m a scared crier…meaning tears fall out of my eyes uncontrollably (b/c it’s not normal crying) when I get scared. And this book is NOT scary people. I mean, there are suspenseful bits, sure. But apparently just the concept of ghosts scares […]
4.5 stars — OMG, this one is totally my favourite in the series!! I totally ship Lennon and Jade, they were so adorable together! I was hooked right from the prologue, and this one was just adorable and fun from start to finish. I felt all of the tummy butterflies, and it was just a […]
3.5 stars — Phew! This one still had me wobbly on a few things, but the fact that I started reading it when I went to bed and stayed up until 4am to finish it speaks pretty strongly to it being compelling, donchathink? 😉 Seriously though, I could not put this one down. So despite […]
3 stars — Well shoot. I can honestly say that I didn’t have as much success with this book. While there were things that I enjoyed, there were just too many other things that bugged me for it to be an enjoyable overall read. I’ll try not to get too ranty, but I do want […]
4 stars — So after writing this review (below), I totes went and read through some other reviews, and even a 1 star one because I was curious. And while I hate when people have to be mean in their reviews, if I ignored the extremely negative way it was written, the reviewer actually made […]
4.5 stars — I can’t believe it took me so long to get to this book, it was so cute!! It had so many things that I love in YAs! It’s kind of funny too, a few elements reminded me of the DUFF movie a bit, so fans of the movie will probably like this […]
