TONIGHT THE STREETS ARE OURS by Leila Sales

May 18, 2016

Book cover & rating - TONIGHT THE STREETS ARE OURS by Leila SalesTonight the Streets Are Ours was such a fun read! I enjoyed it tremendously, even though the characters were far from perfect. They each had their flaws and made questionable decisions. I liked that because that’s precisely what made them so relatable. The realism in the book mirrored the craziness of real life and for that I adored it.

THIS SONG WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE by Leila Sales

December 5, 2015

Book cover of This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila SalesThere’s so much that spoke to me when I read This Song Will Save Your Life. For this I loved it very, very dearly. It reminded me why I crave stories and why I can care so much about fictional people. Elise was my girl. She reminded me that I’m not alone and never have been. All that bullying I went through in high school, searching for acceptance, wanting to be someone — these aren’t alien experience to many of us. Despite that, resultant feelings of loneliness can be very overwhelming. This Song Will Save Your Life tapped into that psyche and spun a raw and engaging tale.
