I desperately wish that I had loved this. However, I did not, and while I may not have liked this book, it is by no means a bad one. This just happens to be one of those it’s me, not you scenarios. Anna K is a modern retelling of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. We follow a large cast [...]
I've been thinking back to the whirlwind that was this book and...wow. It's been a long time since I've read a book that was this gripping yet powerful. I cannot express into words how much I LOVED this book. It's a weird and an original concept that is executed beautifully. There are so many pieces [...]
Rating: I think every review I write should just have a built in this is a difficult book to rate introduction, but hey I can't help the fact that I overthink things to a T. I think the issue mainly resides in my overwhelming love and appreciation of an idea, but then grappling with the [...]
Rating: Eh, if by Everything All At Once we're referring to the lack of substance until the last twenty pages, then yes I'd say that's a pretty accurate title. For the last few months I’ve heard a lot of hype surrounding Katrina Leno. Albeit, more toward Summer of Salt than anything else. However, I thought I’d start [...]
Rating: I have a hard time writing something critical/potentially negative when it comes to memoirs, because in a way it does feel as if you're rating someone's life. However, my issue with this novel comes more from Walden's writing and overall story telling than it does her subject. It seems as if Walden has overcome [...]
Rating: This was incredibly fun! I can definitely see why there's hype surrounding this hilarious gem. Now, I'm not the type of reader who laughs aloud or physically cries, but I did find myself smiling like a fool several times throughout the story. One of this novel's strongest suit is the fact that it doesn't [...]
Rating: Can we talk about how slightly insane it is, that this was the biggest book of the year in 2018, and virtually no one's talked about the sequel? It honest to goodness confounds me, and I'd like a deep and thorough investigation on the matter. Please and thank you. Anyways, enjoy my review of [...]
Review: The gist of this review and reading experience: I got what I came here for. I think 3 star ratings tend to be looked down upon, but to me it just means I enjoyed reading the book without it making a memorable impression on me. Emma Mills' books are like cotton candy. They're pretty, [...]
Rating: I seem to be in the minority here. Weirdly enough I don't think I've ever looked at a majority of reviews and just thought: "nope I don't see it." Dangerous Girls is entertaining and gripping at best. I was never bored, annoyed/frustrated at parts sure, but never bored. Given my busy schedule it's a [...]
Alright, alright you have my full permission to roast me or anything short of crucifying me. I will be the first to admit it's been well over a hot minute since I posted on here, and to post what is probably the most climactic post of the year, two months late is an absolute atrocity [...]
