I discovered Stephanie Oakes from the credits to the tv series Sacred Lies (watch it!). This new book is set in a future after the great collapse of civilisation due to climate disaster, in a new technological authoritarian society. Overall I found it a bit light and slow, but wasn‘t bad. The sci fi elements weren‘t deep but the hair transplant module was interesting. Some YA does grab me, but this probably more for the teens.

A good dive back into this series. It‘s interesting how much of this is still relevant.
I think Netflix did a pretty good job overall of bringing this to screen.

Very cute, but probably could‘ve been shorter. An enjoyable read, and I‘d be open to reading the other books in the series!

I got way behind on my reviews last week! This one is all about Belinda “Billie” Layton, who is a tomboy at heart & loves playing sports. She‘s out of sorts because her mother is about to have a baby & her dad doesn‘t spend as much time with her anymore. Don‘t worry, Saint Liz will help! 😆

TorieStorieS Her parents stealing her name is a bit over the top, even for Sweet Valley, though! 🤣 1d
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS right? I had never read any of these earlier books other than the first 4 or 5. So I was wondering who Billie Layton is lol. Ah yes, Belinda! Poor Billie, naming their kid Bill is such a slap in the face! 1d
TorieStorieS I know!!! The Laytons are hardly model Sweet Valley parents! 1d

I‘m heartsick today, so I‘m looking for small joys to place opposite the horrible hatred I see around me. I hung the photograph I bought last week, and I‘m in the homestretch with this lovely book about queer teenagers who suffer but also have a great adventure together in NYC. #AuldLangSpine

Lilly still sucks. Tina should be her real best friend.

Mia's bodyguard, Lars is the only option I would accept if I were required a bodyguard.

All of the adults in Mia's life are fun, but in different ways. It seems like she has mostly good role models.
Her dad, Philippe again steals the show. He is so cool.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

DNF- Baby E took out my bookmark and I found I wasn‘t mad. So it‘s being unhauled and I‘m just going to stop reading. I kept going thinking she can‘t possibly keep having a crush on this jerk. Her crush would kiss her just to make his girl jealous, and then make up with her and then out POV character goes to Paris with all of them. Just yuk!
