Contemporary
Review: Ghosting – A Love Story by Tash Skilton
Lately, I find myself drifting towards contemporary novels. I crave that cute romance and the heartfelt characters. Luckily, I was approved for this ARC, written by dual authors, which is always a treat for me (more perspectives to read from)! My Review: Overall… Meh The Pros: What worked for me The premise of ghostwriting/copywriting was so unique! Now, I’m familiar…
Review: Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner
So … I have a confession to make. Sometimes, after I request an ARC and receive it, I take a long time to read the book (tha’s not the confession, by the way). By the time I get to actually reading it, I’ve forgotten the synopsis. Now I’m just jumping into it blind and hoping for the best! With this…
Review: The Book Of Essie by Meghan MacLean Weir
When I selected this book, I did not actually read the synopsis. I just went by the title and the cover; they were both intriguing enough for me to just give this book a shot. What I read ended up blowing my mind and I am so happy I made the decision to read this book! Here is my review:…
Review: Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi

Review: Rosie Colored Glasses by Brianna Wolfson
I was first drawn to the cover and title of this book, both of which seemed a bit quirky. The premise sounded a lot more serious but it really appealed to me because of its focus on a child who is torn between two parents. Here are my thoughts: My Review Trigger warning for: I wanted to love this book…
Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
Since you all know me and my tendencies to read hyped books, you know why I read this book. No need to give any further commentary than that. So let’s just move on to the review: Summary (Goodreads): Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the…
Faithful by Alice Hoffman
Over the years, I have become a big fan of Alice Hoffman. Regardless of the genre, she manages to produce a story that will leave a mark on the reader. Of the 4 books I’ve read in the past, every single one has been absolutely stunning. I approached this novel excited to see how she would tackle the contemporary genre.…
The Nowhere Girls by Amy Reed
I started reading this book with no real expectations about it. And then IT BLEW MY MIND. Synopsis (Goodreads): Who are the Nowhere Girls? They’re every girl. But they start with just three: Grace Salter is the new girl in town, whose family was run out of their former community after her southern Baptist preacher mom turned into a radical liberal…
