“Often it is the choices that seem inconsequential that uproot us.” I love books that make you think. And Parallel was definitely one of those books! To be honest, my enjoyment of this book didn’t come from the characters, or the prose, but from the idea of it. The concept of a parallel universe is mind boggling – even more so when two realities collide and intertwine. The story was told from alternating points of view: Abby’s perspective in the present, […]

When I heard about this book, I was really excited to read it. But after reading some rather ‘meh’ reviews of this book, I was kinda worried that I wouldn’t enjoy it very much. Turns out I had nothing to worry about! Transparent was such a cute read! First of all, the opening line in this is this: It’s a good thing summers in Vegas are so hot, considering how often I walk the streets naked. Talk about an attention […]

Thanks to HarperTeen for providing a copy for review! Honestly, I didn’t even plan on reading this book. Just from the synopsis I wasn’t sure I’d even like it. But I got an ARC in one of my Harper packages, so I figured, why the hell not? Sigh. Now I know why. I would never call anyone’s hard work crap, because I know writing a book is hard and time-consuming and probably devours a little piece of your soul; but […]

I must say my favorite part about this book was the world building. The idea was brilliant! I mean seriously, just read that synopsis. It was just as awesome as it sounds! I find the whole concept simply fascinating, and I have to give major kudos to Amy Tintera for coming up with such a fresh and original idea. It’s definitely unlike anything I’ve ever seen or read before. But – at the same time, I would have liked to […]

While it didn’t impress me much at all, Life After Theft was a cute, fluffy read. I had some major issues in the beginning, but turned out to be an OK read. To be honest, Jeff annoyed the crap out of me in the first half. This book reminded me why I hate reading in male POV. He was the typical guy, checking out every girl he sees, and talking about how ‘hot’ they were. Constantly. Seriously, if the word […]

**Huge thanks to HarperTeen for providing a copy for review!  I really enjoyed this one while I was reading it, but looking back I realize: It didn’t make a lasting impression. Which saddens me. The details are already foggy and I have to struggle to remember certain things. But it is an engrossing read, because of the mystery aspect of it. I liked Lily, but I didn’t connect with her quite as much as I’d hoped to. Plus, there were times […]
