Review: You'd Be Home Now

Image
You'd Be Home Now by Kathleen Glasgow My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a painful book to read but it was also beautiful and real. It's hard to create YA characters that feel like teenagers and I think this book does an excellent job of it. And it captures struggles around substance abuse, parenting, dating and so much more in a raw and truthful manner. View all my reviews

Review: Things We Do in the Dark

Image
Things We Do in the Dark by Jennifer Hillier My rating: 4 of 5 stars I like Hiller's storytelling, even though it's always very dark and there are surprises but not twists that assume the reader is stupid. This story was no exception. You know she's not guilty but you don't know what's going on. And then there are surprises. And when you think you know them, there are new ones. I will read more of her :) View all my reviews

Review: Autoboyography

Autoboyography by Christina Lauren My rating: 3 of 5 stars Not my favorite of Christina Lauren books but I still enjoyed reading it. Just didn't think they did the YA voice as well as they do in their adult books. But I loved the subject and I loved the way they handled it. View all my reviews
