THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF OKAY by Laura Steven

March 20, 2018

Book cover & rating - THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF OKAY by Laura StevenIzzy was such a refreshing and hilarious character. Her personality shone through the blog posts and her annotations on hindsight. Once in a while, the details she shared bordered on TMI (too much information) but in a diary sort of blog that’s not exactly unusual. If you like no holds barred narrations that flow with stream of consciousness, you’ll be in stitches laughing over The Exact Opposite of Okay.

THE SPECIAL ONES by Em Bailey

February 2, 2017

Book cover & rating - THE SPECIAL ONES by Em BaileyThrillers are books I rarely pick up because I’m not fond of scaring myself for the sake of it. Besides, there’s enough in the news to keep me up all night. When it came to The Special Ones however, I decided the genre didn’t matter because it was set in a cult. I’ve always been fascinated by religion, cults, beliefs, etc, so my curiosity got the better of me.
