[Jess’s Review]: To Sir, With Love by Lauren Layne

I feel like a word that will always come to mind with this book is enchanting.  This book made me swoon, sigh, cry, and laugh. Allllll of the emotions.  I felt such a connection to Gracie with her love for fairy tales and daydreaming her dream life and love life. She was such an incredible […]

[Asis’ Review] We Can’t Keep Meeting Like This by Rachel Lynn Solomon

This book was refreshingly cute to read. A light read that, while somewhat predictable, felt so relatable to me it immediately took a very special place in my heart. Both characters were so realistic, they felt like actual teens, and the way mental health was treated in this book, the way it normalized it and […]

[Diane’s Review]: One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

So badly I wanted to love this book. The premise was so amazing and the ensemble of characters was great! Going into this I was hoping for something similar to Casey’s previous novel. With this one I found it hard to connect with August. While I loved the idea of her, I found the way […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: We Can’t Keep Meeting Like This by Rachel Lynn Solomon

After reading Today Tonight Tomorrow by Rachel Lynn Solomon, I knew that I was going to love this book—and I was correct!! Rachel Lynn Solomon has this unique way of writing stories and characters that I immediately fall in love with, and that is exactly what happened with Quinn and Tarek. I connected with Quinn […]

[Gabrielle’s Reviews]: An Emotion of Great Delight by Tahereh Mafi

Tahereh Mafi was one of the first authors I read when falling in love with reading. Her Shatter Me series left me reeling at times, and it truly made me realize that one could feel extreme emotions while reading a book about characters that do not even exist. So I was pretty disappointed when this […]

[Brittany’s Review]: The Road Trip by Beth O’Leary

Once I read the blurb for this book I was very intrigued. A road trip with exes? YES PLEASE. However, this book is deeper than you realize. The book focuses around two characters—Dylan and Addie—and a trio they are making to go to a close friends wedding. After breaking up nearly two years ago, Dylan […]

[Shana’s Review]: Hang the Moon by Alexandria Bellefleur

Ok, if I wasn’t reading “Hang the Moon” by Alexandria Bellefleur to write this review…it would’ve been a DNF for me. Ugh, I just cringed writing that…but, look, I read it, went and read the prequel (that most reviews raved about, by the way), and then reread it…and still came to the same conclusion: “Hang […]
