The world-building, the characters, even the romance was all excellent. I couldn’t get enough of this book and only sleep kept me from it. I absolutely found the entire world that Varela created was so fascinating. It was definitely a bit creepy thinking about AI taking over (a nightmare of mine). The tension between humans […]
I really enjoyed the book up to the ending. It was filled with enjoyable dark humor and a great message. But I would’ve liked to have a bit more closure in the novel. I loved how all the women came together to help each other. Was it a little outlandish? Yes, of course, you’ll definitely […]

Sometimes we want more books in a series but don’t necessarily need them, having the original series stand on it’s own is enough. The original Hunger Games trilogy is such a series.

I actually found my first review of this back in the early days of this blog and oh boy, the cringe! Please don’t go and read it, I am begging you. I do still agree with my past self that this book was amazing and perfect! Such a great murder mystery with diverse and fully-fleshed […]
This book is like a big bear hug you need on a day you’re feeling down about yourself! So adorable, I couldn’t not love it. I don’t usually read middle grade books but when I read the description for this, I knew I had to read it. It’s definitely age appropriate for middle grade, so […]
I have never felt the need to go and yell at a fictional family more than I have in this novel! Every time I finish a novel, I go and look at the reviews to see what others say about it (really how different are their thoughts from mine and did we even read the […]
This was an adorable and fun book with a group of LGBTQ+ high schoolers trying to solve a crime. I’m always down for books with queer kids and crime solving! First off, I really love how complex the cast of characters was, and not just in terms of the main characters. The principal (the main […]
First off, I know the summary said that Faolan’s grandfather disguised her as a boy, but I was still expecting the theme of gender or non-conforming gender would have come up. It did in certain aspects with the settlement and the division of boys and girls, but there wasn’t anything in relation to Faolan. Faolan’s […]
