Rating: 9/10 So, this was fantastic. I am in awe. It’s a little slow in the beginning, I’ll admit. The thing about it though, that really makes it stand out, is how women-centered it is. It’s not just that all the female characters are incredibly complex – it is that the story, essentially, is aboutContinue reading “Book Review: Queen B by Juno Dawson”

Book Review: Here the Whole Time by Vitor Martins
Rating: 7.75/10 This book was honestly pretty sweet. I didn’t find it to be, like, out of this world spectacular, but it was pretty good.

Book Review: If We Were Villains by M. L. Rio
Rating: 10/10 Oh. My. God. This was THE most intense book I’ve ever read. Ever. Seriously, it was… a transcendental experience.

I felt like I understood how the words were conveyedContinue reading “Book Review: If We Were Villains by M. L. Rio”
