Love and Other Natural Disasters by Misa Sugiura
For the love of Jupiter, Nozomi was such a detestable main character. It had been a while since I so wholeheartedly hated and rooted against the main character of a novel…but here we go. Love and Other Natural Disasters is the kind of romance YA novel that pretends to critique and be self-aware of the […]

Chain of Iron by Cassandra Clare
“So many secrets between them. So many lies.” That’s it. That’s the book. (i am only half joking) Actual review: Although Chain of Iron is one of Cassandra Clare’s least action/mystery driven books the drama between the various characters is sure to keep you turning pages. Chain of Iron picks up 4 months after its […]

Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall — book review
Boyfriend Material reads less like fiction than fanfiction. No one acts their age, we have an exceedingly angsty protagonist, a plethora of silly side characters who express themselves using a Tumblresque sort of lingo, unlikely interactions, and a lot tropes. The novel’s sitcom-like structure was predictable and often unfunny. Luc O’Donnell’s friends, colleagues, and acquaintances […]

Date Me, Bryson Keller by Kevin van Whye — book review
“But what does normal even mean? Who decided that? And why are gay teens still forced to keep secrets and live double lives?” It seems I’m not an Ice Queen after all…this book melted my heart. Date Me, Bryson Keller is an incredibly sweet and thoughtful YA romance that can be easily read in one […]

If I Never Met You by Mhairi McFarlane — book review.
“The trouble with liars, Laurie had decided from much research in the professional field, is they always thought everyone else was less smart than them.” If I Never Met You is the fourth novel I’ve read by Mhairi McFarlane and I’m happy to say that it is my favourite book of hers. McFarlane just keeps […]
