You Bring the Distant Near by Mitali Perkins

You Bring the Distant Near by Mitali Perkins

I received a copy of this book for review from IndigoTeen. This does not influence my thoughts on this book or this review. I’m a huge fan of contemporary YA so when I heard that this one would span generations and include an epic love story, I knew I had to read it. And I […]

Rules for 50/50 Chances by Kate McGovern

Rules for 50/50 Chances by Kate McGovern

I received a copy of this novel for review from the publisher. This does not influence my review or thoughts on the book. I have to admit that based on the tag line of Rules for 50/50 Chances, I expected a dystopia novel. Of course, what I got was an entirely unique and interesting YA contemporary […]

Tonight the Streets Are Ours by Leila Sales

Tonight the Streets Are Ours by Leila Sales

I received a copy of this book from the publisher, this does not influence my review or thoughts on the book. I’m a huge fan of Leila Sales and when I saw she had a new book coming out, I knew I had to read it. I really enjoyed Tonight the Streets Are Ours but if […]

[Mini-Review] The Lover’s Dictionary by David Levithan

[Mini-Review] The Lover’s Dictionary by David Levithan

I have no idea how to even describe The Lover’s Dictionary. Essentially, it’s a dictionary. But instead of the meaning of each word, it’s a short paragraph describing a scenario,thought or action involving that word. Specially, involving the main character and his lover. Hence, The Lover’s Dictionary is a perfect title. I’m not going to lie: I […]

The Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver

The Secrets We Keep by Trisha Leaver

I received a copy of this book from the publisher, this does not influence my review. I have to start this review stating my own bias: I have a twin, and this heavily influences the way I read The Secrets We Keep. But let me back up first, what is The Secrets We Keep actually about? Maddy […]

The Winner’s Crime by Marie Rutkoski

The Winner’s Crime by Marie Rutkoski

I received an electronic copy of this book for review from the publisher. This doesn’t effect the contents of my review. If you’ve been following me on Twitter, then you probably know what a crazy fangirl I am about the The Winner’s Trilogy. Marie Rutkoski delivered again and The Winner’s Crime was a fantastic sequel to an […]

Evidence of Things Not Seen by Lindsey Lane

Evidence of Things Not Seen by Lindsey Lane

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for review but this does not affect the contents of my review nor my feelings towards the book. To say that Evidence of Things Not Seen is unlike anything I’ve ever read is not an exaggeration. However, it doesn’t mean that I enjoyed it immensely. Evidence of Things […]

Unremembered by Jessica Brody

Unremembered by Jessica Brody

I received a paperback of Unremembered in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect the content of my review.  I have wanted to start this series for so long but it wasn’t until Unremembered was optioned for a movie that I finally had a chance to read it. And boy, am I glad I […]

One Man Guy by Michael Barakiva

One Man Guy by Michael Barakiva

One Man Guy was a refreshing and unique contemporary read. Alek is an Armenian teenager living in a New Jersey suburb and when his parents tell him that he’s going to summer school, he never imagined that he would meet Ethan (who is basically the cutest guy ever). Honestly, I’m not sure how to accurately describe One […]
