Can I say, this book was a love triangle of betrayals. The book was magical and Smart has an absolutely lovely way with words. Before I dive into my thoughts, one thing I want to mention is that if you have trouble following time jumps without labels, this book may be challenging at times, as […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: Prom Theory by Ann LaBar
This book was a fun read and I genuinely enjoyed the journey we had inside Iris Oxtabee’s head as she experimented with the mystery that is love. The best way I can describe this book is fun and predictable, and even then I enjoyed the characters we met and the crazy situations Iris got herself […]
[Kodie’s Review]: The Cost of Knowing By Brittney Morris
The Cost of Knowing by Brittney Morris was such an emotional read. From our first introduction to the main character, Alex, you are immediately drawn to him.

[Skye’s Review:] Sweet and Bitter Magic by Adrienne Tooley

She incorporates little nods to those stories by mentioning trolls under bridges or frogs who claim to be princes. I really appreciated and enjoyed those easter eggs she […]

TW: this book discusses topics of domestic assault/abuse, suicide, racism, microaggressions, mental health and illness, and panic attacks. This is my first Kelly Loy Gilbert book and wow, I am blown away. Beth’s story is achingly powerful and when interwoven by Gilbert’s writing, one cannot seem to escape from the pain and heartbreak that these […]

Going into reading this book, I had pretty neutral expectations. As an avid YA reader, it takes a lot for me to be surprised with books in the genre. I had hopes that something crazy and different and unexpected would happen as I read, and to be honest I was a little disappointed. For about […]
Emily’s Review: Once We Were Starlight by Mia Sheridan
A bed posed on a stage under a dazzling spotlight. An audience of hungry eyes. And him, the other half of my soul, our supple bodies moving as one . . .
Sundara: the lush and forbidden oasis in the desert where men travel to watch acts of sexual deviancy, and the only existence seventeen-year-old Karys has ever known. But despite a life where secrets and sin are in high supply, and freedom remains far beyond their reach, Karys and her partner Zakai find safety in each other, their passionate love the light that helps them both survive the darkness.
Very suddenly, Karys and Zakai find themselves in the bright and confusing world of New York City, navigating separation, school, and relatives who are all but strangers. If they’ve been found, why do they still feel so lost? As their new lives threaten to drive them apart, and Zakai spins out of her grasp, Karys must figure out who and what can be trusted in this strange city, seemingly filled with more venom than the desert they once called home.
