Just Like Fate by Cat Patrick and Suzanne Young is a book that I have waited way too long to read. It’s also a book that’s co-authored by writers who are among my favorites when it comes to young adult books. Oh my goodness, it is hard for me to put into words just how much I loved this collaboration and how much I want there to be more collaborations between Cat Patrick and Suzanne Young.
#scandal by Sarah Ockler | Book Review
July 24, 2014
I really wanted to love #scandal by Sarah Ockler. I mean, as a user of the internet, I like books about other users of the internet and books that make a commentary on social media. The description of #scandal made it sound like it would be a total April book. It was not. While the […]

Since You’ve Been Gone by Morgan Matson | Book Review
April 14, 2014
