[Emily’s Review]: Mad World by Hannah McBride
I’m Madison.
I spent the last seventeen years in a trailer with my mom as she rolled from one addiction to the next. All I wanted was to survive high school and get out of this place. Finding out I had a long lost twin sister on the other side of the country seemed like something out of a movie.
Too bad I didn’t realize it was a horror movie.
Now I’m Madelaine.
We were only supposed to switch lives for a summer. But then the unthinkable happened and now I have the chance to be my twin for the rest of my life. I get the fancy house, the rich father, and the elite school.
But all of those things come with a price I don’t think I can afford.
Maybe taking over my dead twin sister’s life isn’t as easy as I thought it would be.
Mad World is the first book in a new series by Hannah McBride . It contains dark themes (including bullying, drugs, and mentions of past/implied assault) that may be triggering for some readers.

[Skye’s Review:] Eight Perfect Hours by Lia Louis
You know that feeling when you start a book, and you can somehow tell that you’re going to absolutely love it? That’s how I felt from the very first page of Eight Perfect Hours. The writing captured my interest from the get-go, and it never released it. Not even now. I’m still thinking about this […]
[Emily’s Review] Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune
From TJ Klune, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The House in the Cerulean Sea, comes Under the Whispering Door, a new contemporary fantasy about a ghost who refuses to cross over and the ferryman he falls in love with.
When a reaper comes to collect Wallace Price from his own funeral, Wallace suspects he really might be dead.
Instead of leading him directly to the afterlife, the reaper takes him to a small village. On the outskirts, off the path through the woods, tucked between mountains, is a particular tea shop, run by a man named Hugo. Hugo is the tea shop’s owner to locals and the ferryman to souls who need to cross over.
But Wallace isn’t ready to abandon the life he barely lived. With Hugo’s help he finally starts to learn about all the things he missed in life.
When the Manager, a curious and powerful being, arrives at the tea shop and gives Wallace one week to cross over, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in seven days.
By turns heartwarming and heartbreaking, this absorbing tale of grief and hope is told with TJ Klune’s signature warmth, humor, and extraordinary empathy.

[Brittany’s Review]: The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

This book did such a great job at creating a fake relationship! In this book you meet Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith. A twenty something year old woman […]
