Not For Sale

My rating: 4 of 5 stars The mistaken identity bit at the beginning is amazing and probably my favorite part. The confusion gets cleared up rather quickly, which is good because the rest of the story is super sweet and dedicated to the MCs getting to know the real person. Jace [...]

Out of Character

My rating: 3 of 5 stars While I enjoyed Out of Character a bit more than the first book in the True Colors series (Conventionally Yours), I still had some difficulty fully enjoying this book. I should preface this review with a disclaimer: I find I have issues with bully redemption [...]

Still Alive

My rating: 5 of 5 stars In my experience, it's rare to find an author who can make me laugh until my sides hurt or tear me apart with all the angst. Whitecroft is a master at both, and her talent as a writer hooks me with every new book she [...]

May the Best Man Win

My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars I thoroughly enjoyed May the Best Many Win by ZR Ellor. Going into this story, I was jaded by one of my last trans YA reads and had checked my expectations at the door. Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked Jeremy, [...]

Hard Sell

My rating: 5 of 5 stars Warning: Hard Sell contains numerous descriptions of delicious food. Do NOT read if you are hungry or you'll be sad that you can't stuff your face with the yummy dishes the characters eat. Now that I've gotten the disclaimer out of the way. let's get [...]

Brother-in-Law Material

My rating: 3 of 5 stars Brother-in-Law Material is bursting with fake relationships, my favorite trope. It took almost half the book for me to really get into the story as there were a few things that stood out and made the story a bit too unbelievable for me. Kiera and [...]

All Fired Up

My rating: 4 of 5 stars When Jenn Burke announced plans for Evan's story, an undignified squeal was heard around the world. Well, not really, but I was beyond excited. I was surprised by how much time had passed between Graveyard Shift (the last book of the Not Dead yet series [...]

The Last Single Man in Texas

My rating: 5 of 5 stars The first thing I feel I need to address is that cover. You're probably asking yourself, just like I did, "What in the actual Hades is going on here and what does any of that have to do with The Last Single Man in Texas?" [...]

Meet Cute Diary

My rating: 2 of 5 stars I loved the heck out of Felix Ever After and had high hopes that Meet Cute Diary would enrapture me like Felix did. I was so wrong. Noah is the most condescending and entitled character I have ever read. He is truly unlikeable, and I [...]

The Hate Project

My rating: 5 of 5 stars 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 The anxiety rep in The Hate Project is written so well and was relatable at many times. I loved Oscar's grouchiness, and his lack of self-confidence was endearing in a way. I was happy to see Jack get some [...]
