Title: Maame Author: Jessica George My Rating: ⭐⭐ Why I gave this rating: If you took away how this book was written, it could’ve been an ok book. But the way it was written ruined it for me.

Title: The People We Keep Author: Allison Larkin My Rating: ⭐ Why I gave this rating: I’m sure this is a great book but as soon as they had the 16 year old start a relationship with a 27 year old, I couldn’t read anyone. Kind of a bummer cause was enjoying it until till... Continue Reading →

Title: The Light Pirate Author: Lily Brooks-Dalton My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ Why I gave this rating: I was confused for a good majority of this book. It was dystopian but like dystopian meets weather?

Title: My Body Author: Emily Ratajkowski My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why I gave this rating: If you asked me or many others who Emily Ratajkowski was, I think many of us would say who?

Title: Sometimes I Lie Author: Alice Feeney My Rating: ⭐ Why I gave this rating: This is the first Alice Feeney book I really didn’t like. It was lacking in so many ways compared to her others.

Title: Beautiful Little Fools Author: Jillian Cantor My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (.5) Why I gave this rating: This book was highly addictive and had me from the beginning.

Title: Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow Author: Gabrielle Zevin My Rating: ⭐⭐ Why I gave this rating: I unfortunately went into this book with a biased opinion before I even started.
