Foul is Fair – Review
Many thanks to Wednesday Books & Netgalley for the chance to read this book. Macbeth meets Mean Girls…only significantly more bloody? Sign me up.

Nowhere But Here by Katie McGarry is another book that has been on my TBR for what feels like forever, and I’m so excited to finally check it off my list. It has been a long time since I’ve enjoyed a YA book as much as I did with this one. I honestly thought I…
Regretting You – Review
Thank you to Montlake Romance and Netgalley for the chance to read this book and to Colleen Hoover for acknowledging that orange is the worst color on the planet.

Originally published in July 2018.

Speak – Review
With 400,000 ratings on Goodreads, you’d think I would have been more familiar with Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.

Bad Romance – Review
You know when you finish a book and you immediately want to tell everyone you have ever known to read it? Yeah? That JUST happened to me. First, I can’t stop singing Lady Gaga’s, “Rah rah ah-ah-ah!
