Bleed Like Me by Christa Desir is a book that I picked up because it was wicked short and also because I really, really loved her debut, Fault Line. Unfortunately, I do not think I was quite in the right mindset or place when I read Bleed Like Me. I had been hoping for something that resonated […]
What We Saw by Aaron Hartzler | Book Review
March 3, 2016
What We Saw by Aaron Hartzler is one hell of a young adult fiction debut.
