Exciting Young Adult Sports Romance
Review of Catch and Cradle by Katia Rose This is my first book by this author and it is a very good NA sports romance about a university lacrosse team in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I must admit, I had to watch a video about this sport to understand how the game works. It’s an exciting […]
A mix of apocalyptic, dystopian, cli-fi, fantasy, and YA book
Review of Girls at the Edge of the World by Laura Brooke Robson A very good premise, but the book as a whole didn’t all come together for me. This book was a really interesting mix of apocalyptic, dystopian, cli-fi, fantasy, and YA. When you throw in sapphic characters… well let’s just say this was […]
An unsettling but interesting New Adult novel
Review of The Love Song of Ivy K. Harlowe by Hannah Moskowitz I don’t know what to think of this book. It’s well-written. There are feelings. Teenage angst. So much teenage angst. Andie has been in love with Ivy since forever. Ivy doesn’t do relationships and goes from girl to girl, which isn’t that surprising […]
One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
My favourite read of 2021 I fell in love with August and Jane. August is searching for a place to belong. Unsure of her future, wanting no part of her eccentric mother’s obsessive behaviour, she becomes a minimalist. I could relate to that restless uncertainty in my twenties. Where do I go from here? Where […]
An enjoyable YA read
Review of Some Girls Do by Jennifer Dugan This was a good read. There have been so many YA LGBTQ+ books coming out this year that have looked so good. This book was immediately on my radar since I have wanted to read Dugan for a while –her book Hot Dog Girl looks adorable-. I […]
Not My Problem by Ciara Smyth
This book met all my expectations I loved this! I was a big fan of Smyth’s, The Falling in Love Montage, so this book was on the top of my must-read of 2021 list. My expectations were high, but this book met every single one of them. I’m happily surprised to say this, but I […]
How to Become a Planet by Nicole Melleby
A wonderful Middle Grade book on depression and discovering new feelings I love this book. It made me cry a lot because I got Pluto and I got her mom and they both try so hard. I don’t know if the fact that I started reading on a day when every little thing was already […]
This was a pretty good read but I didn’t love it as I hoped to
Review of Cool for the Summer by Dahlia Adler This was a pretty good read but I didn’t love it as I hoped to. This story had a queer Grease vibe that I was really excited about reading. The premise was good, but there were some obvious issues for me, mostly story choices, that I’m […]
The meeting of two lonelinesses makes for a sweet and heartwarming romance
Review of The Safest Place by Lily Seabrooke Whoever said romance is dead? Lena is lost and not sure what she wants out of life but she does want to fall in love. Grace tried and failed but she still believes in romance so hard that she leaves anonymous little notes in a grotto to […]
