[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 […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: When We Were Infinite by Kelly Loy Gilbert

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 […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: “Today Tonight Tomorrow” by Rachel Lynn Solomon

To start off, I have to say that this book has become one of my top 3 reads of not only 2020 but pretty much of all time! I read this book in a span of hours and finished it around five in the morning and was so giddy that I could not fall asleep. […]

[Rachel’s Review]: Foul is Fair by Hannah Capin

First and foremost I would suggest reading the content warnings on Hannah Capin’s website to determine if this is a safe book for you. Although it is an amazing book and I do recommend it, it’s important to keep your own wellbeing in mind! I didn’t even hear about this book until about a week […]

[Elizabeth’s Review]: Where I End and You Begin by Preston Norton

I’m writing this review literally ten minutes after finishing this book and all I can say is that I am an emotional mess. Where I End and You Begin— where do we end and begin? This book, I can’t seem to full capture how heartfelt and heartwarming this coming of age story is. What we’ve […]

[Bre’s Review]: Broken Knight by L.J. Shen

“We break things all the time. It’s called life. If you don’t break, you don’t live. You don’t move. You don’t try. You don’t take chances. Breaking is a part of living.” If you follow me you know that I love small town romances where the guy is at the right place at the right […]
