Ophelia After All by Racquel Marie, narrated by Maria Liatis
A delightful and heartwarming YA debut I went into this book hoping I’d enjoy it. I didn’t expect to love it this much. I do not know whether it’s perfect and I really don’t care if it isn’t. I love what it made me feel. I love the characters. I super love Ophelia, how could […]
I Kissed a Girl by Jennet Alexander, narrated by Natalie Naudus
A typical case of a story elevated by the voice actor In order to review this audiobook, I feel I need to separate the written work from the voice performance. I have to say that my enjoyment of this story wouldn’t have been as much if I had read the book. Lilah Silver is a […]
Girl Island by Kate Castle
Beware of teenage girls I read this whole story in a shroud of constant trepidation. I don’t know how to say it in a way that doesn’t make it sound like it’s a bad thing because it’s really not. I knew what I was getting into (overall). It’s written on the cover, Mean Girls (which […]

The Girls Are Never Gone by Sarah Glenn Marsh
Another creepy book perfect for Halloween Another creepy book perfect for Halloween. I love this time of year so much but between all the ghost shows I’ve been watching, and all the horror books I’ve been reading, I’m going to need at least a short break of reading some warm and fluffy romance:) This has […]
The Grimrose Girls by Laura Pohl
A fairly good time! This was a fairly good time. I interrupted my Halloween reading list to get back to a few ARCs, this book being one of them. It was no hardship as this was another one of my more anticipated reads of 2021. I love reading retellings. I especially love sapphic retellings of […]
To Break a Covenant by Alison Ames
Read this book with the lights on! Now, this is a horror book! I’m taking another quick ARC break, to try to get in as many Halloween books as I can, and I was ready for something scary. YA horror is pretty popular right now, which I love, but I’ve found a lot of the […]
A fun, romantic, and sometimes deep new adult Rom-com
Review of This Used to Be Easier by Katia Rose I’ve been following this author on social media since I read Catch and Cradle, and then her novella Stop and Stare. Ms. Rose writes mostly m/f romances but This Used to Be Easier is her third f/f book. Meg Doyle just graduated and was about […]
An exciting YA sci-fi debut with a bisexual love triangle
Review of ‘City of Shattered Light’ by Claire Winn City of Shattered Light is Claire Winn’s debut novel, a pretty exciting and promising debut. It’s longer than many books I’ve read lately but I read it in a couple of days, I didn’t want to put it down. Asanna Almeida is the heir to her […]
