DANCING IN THE DARK by Robyn Bavati

September 8, 2013

If you have no Jewish background, it might be  difficult at first to get into the book because Bavati chose to adopt Jewish/ Hebrew terms wherever possible. She did explain her choice however, including a letter of sorts at the beginning, noting that she hoped to capture the authenticity in this manner. For those who…

KITE SPIRIT by Sita Brahmachari

August 28, 2013

There are books that entrap readers—they can’t put them down until they have read them cover to cover. Those books don’t allow readers to do anything else but read because they must know what happens next. This was no such book. No, it was great in a different manner. Plot was not what drove the…

CONFESSIONS OF AN ALMOST-GIRLFRIEND (Confessions #2) by Louise Rozett

August 13, 2013

CONFESSIONS OF AN ALMOST-GIRLFRIEND (Confessions #2) by Louise RozettRose is back, a year older, a sophomore, with a slight bit more mature voice, and a whole lot more problems than when readers first got to know her in Confessions of an Angry Girl. She needs to decide for herself what to do with Jamie. She still has the cheerleaders on her case. She and her brother are not exactly talking to each other either. She also hasn’t stopped missing her dad who died in Iraq the previous year. In the very least, she has her best friend back by her side.

BESTEST. RAMADAN. EVER. by Medeia Sharif

August 6, 2013

In light of Ramadan, it seemed fitting to finally pick up Bestest. Ramadan. Ever. With the pink swirls on the cover, the depiction of a guy and a girl together with that pastel-creamed cupcake, I expected a feel-good kind of book. What I did not expect was a load of fluff to boot. Perhaps the…

MILA 2.0 by Debra Driza

July 30, 2013

For those who like their books action-packed, Mila 2.0 definitely is worth checking out. For those who prefer to relate to the characters in a story though, this book might not entirely satisfy. I like a cross between the two, so I was kinda sitting on the fence about how I felt after I was done…
