Since this is the third book in a series I cannot talk about this book without spoilers. I am obsessed with this book series. I listened to the whole thing on audio, and I absolutely love it. The first book is so subversive. The second book makes you want to cheer. However this third book… […]

The Midnight Girls by Alicia Jasinska
I am so happy I got to finish 2021 with an amazing read. I was truly impressed with this book and I enjoyed every minute of it. I listened to it on audio and I was enjoying it so much that I went and bought a hard copy before I even finished the book, and […]
Girls With Razor Hearts (Girls With Sharp Sticks #2) by Suzanne Young
I just love this series. I love these girls and their fierce friendships. I love their sense of morality. I love that even though they can disagree and fight with one another, they still love each other above all else. I think they are all so precious and I was an anxious wreck the entire […]
Girls With Sharp Sticks by Suzanne Young
I thought this book was phenomenal. It had everything I ever wanted. Amazingly strong, lovely female friendship and no backstabbing. Sweet yet realistic boy that isn’t required to save anyone because they save themselves An intelligent heroine I also thought this was plotted beautifully and really reminded me of Plato’s allegory of the cave. It […]
A Line in the Dark by Malinda Lo
I quite enjoyed this book, though there are a couple of things that I do have issues with. First I’ll talk about the good things: It’s queer and there is no judgement or hate for the queer characters. Jess’s mother, who is Chinese, even says, “If you’re a lesbian, that’ s not a problem.” Jess […]
We Rule the Night by Claire Eliza Bartlett
This review contains unmarked spoilers for the end of the book. I really enjoyed most of this book, right up until the ending. For the most part, I really enjoyed this book. I really enjoyed the characterisation of our two leads, Revna and Linae: both of them absolutely furious at the world for the hypocrisy […]
The Darkness Outside Us
This is a sci-fi romance between two teen boys who are on a deep space rescue mission. However, since the most central plot point – the fact that they are two boys – doesn’t make sense to me, and the reasons provided as to WHY it has to be two boys, especially in the context […]
The Gilded Cage by Lynette Noni
I genuinely think it’s harder to write a 5 star review than it is to write a 1 star review. It’s hard to list what a book does so well when it does everything so well. I genuinely had no issues with this book at all and enjoyed every minute of it. This book is […]
Anything but Fine by Tobias Madden
You know how a couple of weeks ago I said I totally loved a book that I could totally see bits of my life in? Well, I had absolutely NOTHING in common with this book, and it still blew me away. Tobias Madden has been on my radar ever since he edited the Underdog #loveOzYa […]
The Year the Maps Changed by Danielle Binks
This is a middle-grade book, intended for audience more than half my age, so while I’m not the target audience, I did love the author’s other book The Monster Of Her Age so much I wanted to give this one a try as well. I ended up really loving it. It’s really hard for me […]
