Big thanks to HarperTeen for providing a review copy! I had the same problem with this one that I had with Ten: TOO MUCH DRAMA. I mean, I understand that they’re in high school, but jeez! High school is NOT like reality TV. Either that or I just had a ridiculously tame high school. To be honest, this could have been a 4 star book for me if it hadn’t been for the characters. The originality was outstanding, and I […]

  Hello loverlies! As you can see by the title, I have totally slacked lately on wrap-up posts. Life has been absolutely INSANE the past few months! I didn’t even realize how behind I was until someone pointed out that I didn’t have a linky for last month, and then I realized, Oops, it’s been THREE months… Well, we’re at the end of the eighth month and are now more than halfway through the challenge! How is everyone doing?! Here […]

Review: Not a Drop to Drink by Mindy McGinnis

Not a Drop to Drink was a very character driven novel. The characters were thoroughly fleshed out and so realistic that I connected to each and every one of them. At some point I realized with a shock just how invested in them I actually was! Then I had to steel myself for the unavoidable heartbreak that I was probably in for… This book is not fluffy unicorns and happy rainbows. It’s dark, and desperate, even depressing at times. That’s […]

Review: The Chaos of Stars by Kiersten White

This book was adorable! It was a cute and fluffy feel-good read. I can always count on Kiersten White’s stories to make me feel happy warm fuzzies! “I can be whole without depending on someone else, thank you very much.” And that is how I like my leads to be! Isadora and I would be great friends in real life. I loved that she didn’t immediately attach herself to Ry, despite his interest in her. She was capable of standing on her […]
