Starting this book, I had not read Bellefleur’s other works. After finishing, Count Your Lucky Stars, however, I am going to change that. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this read and seeing Margot and Olivia overcome their past miscommunication and ingrained fears regarding their history. While romance books are usually catnip for me […]

[Lisa’s Review]: Out of Character (True Colors #2) by Annabeth Albert
I read the first book in this series and loved it; naturally, this one automatically made this year’s anticipated-reads-list. And I was not disappointed. It’s a super cute, surprisingly sexy, heartfelt enemies-to-lovers romance that ticked quite a few of my ‘swoon’ boxes. Milo and Jasper actually were best friends when they were younger, so it’s […]
[Lisa’s Review]: The Dark Tide by Alicia Jasinska
Here’s the thing: every once in a while, there’s a book that seemingly has everything you could ever wish for, and has all the promise in the world and yet for whatever reason, you can’t connect to the story and the characters in the way you wanted to or thought you would. And unfortunately, this […]
[Lisa’s Review]: Conventionally Yours by Annabeth Albert
I read the synopsis for this one and was hooked. I knew I had to get my hands on this book as soon as possible.

[Skye’s Review]: The Midnight Lie by Marie Rutkoski
“So you tell me what would make a good, quiet girl get herself in trouble, especially when she had so much to lose. Tell me.” With a quote like that, you know you’re in for a delightful ride. That quote is from the very first chapter. Needless to say, I was helpless to Marie Rutkoski’s […]
[Skye’s Review]: Girls of Storm and Shadow by Natasha Ngan
“Because it’s what I am. Not a Paper Girl anymore, just ‘girl’–almost a caste of its own. An oppressed caste, yes, but one braver and bolder and capable of more brilliance than any other in this world.” This book explores two main concepts: the effects of trauma and doing horrible things in the name of […]
[Skye’s Review]: The Last True Poets of the Sea by Julia Drake
Friends, saying this book took me by surprise would be an understatement. It’s been a while since I’ve read such a thought-provoking book. This book truly makes you think and feel. The Last True Poets of the Sea centers itself around darker, emotional themes such as grief, loss, pain, confusion, and fear of the unknown. […]
