Continue reading →: The Hate U Give – Angie ThomasI know I’m a little late to the party, but I finally got around to reading The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas.

Continue reading →: Faithful – Alice HoffmanSo, remember in my last review I said The Vacationers by Emma Straub was a good break from the heavy, emotional books I find myself consumed by? Yeah, well…this is one of those books I was referring to. Alice Hoffman has a slew of novels but oddly, Faithful is my…

Continue reading →: The Vacationers – Emma StraubHow fun is this cover art?! Emma Straub is known for writing captivating “beach reads”, as they call them. This is my first book written by her and I was not disappointed. Upon completion of this one, I purchased two more of her books which also happened to both be on…
