Truly Wanted by J.J. Hale
A solid debut novel with a neurodivergent MC Brooke and Sam have been friends for ten years, ever since Brooke invited Sam to join a group project in college. It took a while for Sam to let Brooke in but from then on, they’ve been best friends. Inseparable. Even more so after Brooke’s husband died. […]
Honey in the Marrow by Emily Waters
An inspiring journey from grief and depression to forever love As I’ve explained before, I’ve never been a big fanfiction reader but it so happens that the fanfic this book is based on is one of a handful I reviewed. I was both excited and a tad wary when I saw Ylva had picked it […]
The Rules of Forever by Nan Campbell
A very promising rich girl/poor girl romance debut I think this book is a debut and it’s exactly the kind of debut that makes me happy and hopeful. It’s smart and well-written and sure, it’s not flawless but I love that the author has room for growth. The premise is simple: at boarding school, teenage […]
Dauntless by Elisa A. Bonnin
This was my kind of read and one of the more enjoyable stories I’ve read in a while While this might not end up being the best fantasy book I’ll read this year, it sure is in the running for one of the most fun YA fantasy books I’ll read. While I love fantasy anything, […]
Beyond Any Experience by Anne E. Terpstra
A wonderful debut novel I read a lot of books, and love a lot of books. I am constantly amazed at how far we’ve come, at how much the quality has risen in the twenty-five or thirty years since I started reading sapphic fiction. I mean no disrespect to anyone but some of the books […]

Yes! This is the book I wanted and needed Young Adult is a competitive space and there are so many good YA books out there, but this isn’t good YA, this is great YA. This is an example of why I read and love this genre so much. I love emotional YA that gives you […]
Perks of Office by Liz Rain
Perks of Office is a dream debut you really don’t want to miss Perks of Office by Liz Rain is a dream debut, really. I want to congratulate Ylva for their good taste in publishing this fresh new Aussie author. I super enjoyed this one. For some reason, I always feel that down-under writers bring […]
Radiant by Judy Sapphire
This was a very solid debut book I often talk about how the publisher Bella, has an unbelievable talent for finding good new authors, and I think Judy Sapphire will soon be joining that list. While I wasn’t blown away by this, it was enjoyable and absolutely an above-average read, which to me means, even […]
Beyond the Blue by TJ O’Shea
This was a wonderful read! This is another book that I read a while ago when I was recovering from surgery, and I’m just catching up writing a review for now. While I took short notes so I would remember the books and what I wanted to mention in my reviews, this book didn’t require […]
