Welcome to Litsy!

A coming of age story set against the backdrop of the Honduran presidential election of 2017, this book focuses on the Morazán family, primarily Libertad as she turns 18, explores her sexuality, &expresses herself through poetry on an anonymous Instagram acct. We also get glimpses into her older brother, Maynor‘s, life as a budding activist &their family dynamic. I found this YA novel to be revelatory, enlightening, &at times heartbreaking.

Heading into my birthday weekend reading my favorite author!! ❤️ #arc

I loved this one so much! Set in Georgia in the 1960‘s, Doris is a very religious teen who needs to have an abortion and turns to her favorite teacher for help. The duo embark on a weekend trip to Atlanta for the procedure, which gets delayed. While waiting, Doris meets a cast of characters who completely change her worldview and broaden her life choices.

Definitely a favorite read this year!

Love this cover, and the story is great, so far! ☺️ #arc

A quick paced, flirty workplace rom-com that features (my favorite) enemies-to-lovers trope. I enjoyed how it tackled diversity and being a woman in corporate America, balancing out the seriousness of that with the fun and sexy dynamic of the romance. Tris and Rafe were amazing characters, and I especially liked the female friendships featured here.

In true Kevin Wilson style, this book deals with dysfunctional families. A group of strangers who discover they share the same father set out on a road trip to find their dad.

Although this isn't my favorite by him, it was still a good read. At times, scenarios felt too easily resolved, but I enjoyed seeing the relationships between the characters grow as the story progressed.

I just did my best impression of a tea kettle just now. I was so sure I wasn‘t going to get this, but I did! #NetGalley #ARC

This was so wonderful to see after the day I‘ve had.

I loved the premise of this book and it started out like a very promising read. I loved how the author used a lot of stereotypes to portray racism and privilege. It started going down for me at around 60%, I just felt like it started to become predictable and the ending felt very flat. I wished the author had taken a few more risks with this one.

This was ok. It was entertaining. The goddess of winter is made mortal to learn some key lessons. The cover is gorgeous imo.
