ARCHENEMIES by Marissa Meyer

November 25, 2018

Book cover & rating - ARCHENEMIES by Marissa MeyerWhen Renegades came out last year, I liked it but didn’t love it. At the same time though, I thought this new series had potential and was excited to continue reading. Now I’m happy to report that Archenemies lived up to those expectations. It’s everything I hoped for and more!

ONLY LOVE CAN BREAK YOUR HEART by Katherine Webber

November 8, 2018

NOT THE GIRLS YOU’RE LOOKING FOR by Aminah Mae Safi

October 6, 2018

Book cover & rating - NOT THE GIRLS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR by Aminah Mae SafiNot the Girls You’re Looking For is way more hard hitting than I had expected. Based on the synopsis I thought it’d be a fun, fluffy high school read with a dash of drama. Sure, there’s drama and the prose is typical of that sort of book but it is a whole lot more intense.

LEGENDARY by Stephanie Garber

September 2, 2018

Book cover & rating - Legendary by Stephanie GarberIn 2017, I counted Caraval to my favourites of the year. It’s no wonder that I was super excited for the sequel. Thus, it’s with a heavy heart that I’m rating it 3 out of 5 stars. The problem for me was that Legendary was more of the same. Now, more of the same should be a great thing if you loved the original. So what went wrong?

THE PARIS WEDDING by Charlotte Nash

April 1, 2018

Book cover & rating - THE PARIS WEDDING by Charlotte NashA lot of the time, single people in their late twenties are portrayed as sad, lonely or desperate in the media. I’m glad The Paris Wedding doesn’t go down that road, even if the main character is pining after “the one who got away”. In fact, she’s invited to his destination wedding in Paris, which gives rise to a lot of awkward situations and some humorous ones.
