[Asis’ Review] Not the Girl You Marry by Andie J. Christopher

[Brittany’s Reveiw]: I Hate You More by Lucy Gilmore

Have you ever read a book that when you finish you simply can’t remember what you read? This was that book for me. I was super excited to get into this book because it said enemies-to-lovers, which is like my calling, and a dog?! It sounded like my dream book. However, it just didn’t fit […]

[Caitlyn’s Review]: Anne of Manhattan by Brina Starler

Way back in March 2020, when the pandemic first began and we all turned inside using books and binge watching to escape the looming doom of a global health crisis, I became slightly obsessed with tracking the hashtags #SaveAnnewithanE and #RenewAnnewithanE. Seriously, Netflix could not post a single promo for Tiger King or Ozark without […]

[Skye’s Review:] Our Way Back to Always by Nina Moreno

This book was everything I wanted it to be and more! Our Way Back to Always is captivating from beginning to end; full of great tropes, swoon-worthy romance, and Latinx culture. This story was the perfect balance between romance, comedy, and grief. Nina Moreno really captured the various feelings of senior year: excitement, dread, worry, […]

[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.

[Elizabeth’s Review]: Nick and Noel’s Christmas Playlist by Codi Hall

I love the warm feeling that the holidays bring. Seeing that this book would revolve around Christmas, I knew it was a must read and I was excited to read about these best friends. Nick and Noel embodied the warm feeling of love and comfort that every Hallmark Christmas movie captures. Their dialogue and complete […]
