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

[Asis’ Review] ARCHENEMIES by Marissa Meyer

The writing of this author apparently gets an A+ from me every time, but I think everyone already knows that. This story felt a little slower than the first one at times, I felt we had more constant action on Renegades. But on Archenemies, we actually get a lot more of the politics and social […]

[Asis’ Review] Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick

I can’t say enough about this book. And let me tell you now, I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it. The format was so completely unique and it hooked me in immediately. The characters were so sweet and interesting, and seeing their relationships develop just like seeing them grow individually was simply delightful. […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

This book was such a fun read, and I fell in love with the romantic-comedy that Lina and Max embodied. Lina Santos is a wedding planner who was dumped at the altar, and she did not let it stop her. What I loved about Lina was her hardworking attitude and how she never gave up. […]

[Asis’ Review] Loki: Where Mischief Lies by Mackenzi Lee

The quotes used on this Review were taken from the ARC and may change after publication. I came into this book not really knowing what to expect, I haven’t really read any comics but I do love the MCU and was hopeful for what this book would bring us. I really appreciated the way Loki […]

[Steph’s Review]: Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren

For as long as I can remember, authors Christina Lauren have always made it onto my “highly anticipated” TBR each year. That being said, it doesn’t take much to get me on board with a book that has their names attached to it. When I heard about their upcoming standalone with the striking cover, and […]
