Hello friends, happy December! I’ve decided to start a new series called “What I’m Reading This Week”, mostly to keep myself accountable with being intentional about reading. Every two weeks, I’ll pop on here to give an update on my current reads. So what’s on my reading list this week? ‘There Goes the Neighbourhood’ by… Continue reading What I’m Reading This Week:
My rating: 4/5 stars Genre: Young Adult, Romance, Adventure “It’s not always about those huge moments. It’s the tiny details, the ones that remind you the other person is caring about you, even when you’re not the best at caring for yourself.” Past, Present, Future After transitioning from enemies to lovers in their senior year… Continue reading Review: Past, Present, Future by Rachel Lynn Solomon
My rating: 4/5 stars Genre: Fiction “Human life is quick. I do not mean life is short. I mean, the reason we feel like certain significant days happened only yesterday is because they did. Many of us have bodies that age preposterously out of proportion with how young we are. It’s like, aging in theatre… Continue reading Review: Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino
My rating: 3.75/5 stars Genre: Young Adult, Fiction // TW: suicide, depression, grief “I’m working on accepting that sometimes we can’t put things back the way they were.

My rating: 4.75 stars Angie Thomas has got that midas touch when it comes to writing because this was gold. I absolutely loved The Hate U Give when I first read it and I ended up loving On The Come Up (OTCU) even more. OTCU is about 16 year old Bri whose dream is to… Continue reading Review: On the Come Up by Angie Thomas
The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai My rating: 3.5/5 stars Alright so, this is essentially still the same old meet-cute romance formula we’re used to. Girl meets boy, they hit it off, feelings are suppressed, huge misunderstanding that could have been resolved if one person just waited 2 seconds to hear the other person out… Continue reading December Wrap-Up 2019
The Book of Love by Fionnuala Kearney My rating: 4.5/5 stars “Life, is about choices. Some we regret. Some we’re proud of, and some will plague us forever.” Round of applause for this beautiful piece of art. This truly is a book of love, in all its beauty, in all it’s pain. It’s the love… Continue reading October Wrap-Up 2019
The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer My rating: 4/5 stars “And didn’t it always go like that — body parts not quite lining up the way you wanted them to, all of it a little bit off, as if the world itself were an animated sequence of longing and envy and self-hatred and grandiosity and failure… Continue reading October Wrap-Up 2018
The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin My rating: 4.5/5 stars “Life isn’t about defying death. It’s also about defying yourself, about insisting on transformation. As long as you can transform, my friends, you cannot die.” This is a book about death but it’s also a book about life. Simon, Klara, Daniel & Varya are siblings. As… Continue reading April Wrap-Up 2018
