Welcome to Litsy!

Loved this sweet/sad/funny YA story. The characters and setting felt SO true - though maybe that‘s because they were ripped from my high school experience (Did you read my diary, Don Zolidis?? Small-town Wisconsin in the ‘90s ✅ hanging out in wood-paneled basements or at Perkins ✅ dreams of escape to college in Minnesota ✅ overachieving girls dating/not dating earnest, quirky boys ✅). But maybe it‘s also just a delightful and well-written book. 😁

I wanted to like this book so much but it‘s just went on and on about nothing (which seems to be a super disappointing theme with many new YA authors). I should have bailed on it about halfway through when I realized it was like living a Groundhog‘s Day. Blah, blah, rinse and repeat.

I stumbled across this little gem and I am so glad I did. It is really good.

It was a great reading month!

I adore the cover of this book and that it's set in Janesville makes me glad it's my Sunday afternoon read.

I loved this little YA NOVEL. Check out The Seven Torments of Amy and Craig by Don Zolidis

Not a better way to spend the day! A good ARC and a day at the beach. I‘m really enjoying this YA novel so far. #retired #netgalley From beautiful St. Augustine Florida!
