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? Felt like sci-fi but add in climate change and hurricanes. Was just kind of lost the entire time. Title: Under Her Care... Continue Reading →
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? Oh, you mean the supermodel who danced naked in that Blurred Lines video. That’s all anyone really knows about her and she’s... Continue Reading →
Title: The Investigator Author: John Sandford My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ Why I gave this rating: This style of action/thriller isn’t really my favorite.

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. It was such a fun drama and a different take on the classic great gatsby. The only reason it’s not a full 5 stars is I felt the... Continue Reading →
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.

Title: Miss Memory Lane: A Memoir Author: Colton Haynes My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why I gave this rating: Need to give a warning in advance for this book.
