Welcome to Litsy!

A story of two teens, each with their own struggles, who meet & become BFFs. It was okay. The writing felt like it was meant for more middle grade than YA, but some of the subject matter was more teen than MG. While a sweet story, it really wasn‘t my cup of tea.

I did like the message “Be Awesome”

I love #bookhaul days.

From Bookshop.org, I got the top two books. I loved the House in the Cerulean Sea (the audiobook) so much I had to have a physical copy.

The Beyond is the 4th book in the Devil‘s Isle series.

Star Daughter is the August Owl Crate book (it takes it about 2 weeks longer to get to me here 😂)

And Kate & Meg just sounded like a fun book that I ordered, along with the Beauty & the Beast print, from LitJoyCrate.

I can usually read books within 3 days but I‘m struggling with this book. I just have no desire to continue reading it. The writing isn‘t bad but the story itself isn‘t keeping my attention.

I don‘t know if meg having ADHD was correctly represented. Both girls in this story Senn a lot younger than 17. Maybe I wasn‘t in the right frame of mind to read the book but I decided it‘s not worth it since I‘m only 100 pages in so I‘m bailing.

⭐️

This was mostly very delightful! It was a fun, quick read. I loved the gaming and fandom aspects, and focus on friendship. At times it felt like Kat was me - I related so much to her experiences of anxiety and the things that made her uncomfortable, like parties and spontaneity.
I enjoyed reading about her friendship with Meg develop.
Towards the end, the book dragged a bit for me, but overall this was quite good. Recommended!

I've been reading a lot of books about characters with anxiety lately and this is one of the most real. I also loved Kat and Meg's friendship, and the way this book depicts Meg's ADHD (which I haven't read a lot about.) My best friend is very Meg-like (and I'm more Kat) so I'm definitely passing this to her to read 😁

Kat has anxiety. Meg has ADHD. They're partners in a school project who bond over a shared love of a popular computer game.

I found Kat and her anxiety to be believable, but I had trouble with Meg. She felt like a caricature, but that could just be my limited understanding of ADHD. The story was cute- nothing earth shattering, but still a light, fun read.

This cover is HORRIBLE though. So cheesy.

Ohhhhh Myyyyyy Godddd!!!!! I loved this book so much. This book reminds me of Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell but better. The characters were very relatable and realistic which I loveddddd!!!!!! Overall this story is about two nerd misfit girls helping each other through life. 💟 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5
