I reviewed Dahlia Adler's Cool For The Summer last year—just before I went on my impromptu hiatus—and it was such a joy to read that when I saw Home Field Advantage on NetGalley (coming out June 7), I knew I had to try to get my hands on a copy. Adler's writing is fun and … Continue reading Book Review: Home Field Advantage

Book Review: You’ve Reached Sam
Another day, another YA story with a beautiful cover that sucked me in. I really appreciate the fact that Wednesday Books are so great to me in giving me advanced copies of their books—though I did miss the release date on You've Reached Sam because of this crazy year. I was drawn to this book … Continue reading Book Review: You’ve Reached Sam
Book Review: Where It All Lands

Obviously, I jumped at the chance. From the synopsis to the beautiful cover for Tweet Cute by Emma Lord (which hits … Continue reading Book Review: Tweet Cute
Book Review: Again, but Better
When I saw this book on NetGalley, and I knew I needed to read it. It was about a girl who travelled abroad to London for a semester in order to try and break out of her shell...which I can relate to on a deep level, having done something similar myself. The publisher was done … Continue reading Book Review: Again, but Better
