Review: Cool for the Summer by Dahlia Adler (Release 05/11/2021)
I received an eARC of this book from the publisher on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I wanted to love this book, a bi MC, senior year of high school, a love triangle, all of that sounded wonderful and like it would be to my taste. I unfortunately did not love this book.…

Review: Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas (Release 03/23/2021)
I received an E-arc from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This was one of my most anticipated books of the year after reading Aiden’s debut novel Cemetery Boys last year.

Review: Roman and Jewel by Dana L. Davis (Release 01/05/2021)
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I really wanted to like this book, I’m typically a sucker for a Romeo and Juliet retelling, but this book was just not my cup of tea. Jerzie felt very immature, more immature than her age of sixteen, turning seventeen…

Review: Even If We Break by Marieke Nijkamp (Released 09/15/2020)
The disability, neurodivergent, and trans/non-binary rep is where this book shines. As someone with EDS, the same chronic illness as Finn, I’ve never seen myself represented on the page.

Review: Adam Silvera’s Infinity Son (Release 1/14/2020)
I received an Advanced Reader’s Edition in a giveaway by Epic Reads. I wanted to like this book so so badly, but when unexplained worlds, too many point of view, and so much, too much slang collided in the form of this book I just couldn’t.
