I definitely enjoy reading Donaldson‘s work. She has a way of twisting the plot to keep the story from being predictable.

Interesting book and a quick little read. I liked the spin they put on this tale.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this book. I really only bought it because there was a promo for it at Starbucks. So I took it on my plane ride to Wisconsin, and read the whole thing in 3 hours. Definitely recommend!

After reading Tricks, I knew I had to read Traffick! I am a fan of Hopkins writing style. I love how she ends Tricks with the characters at their all-time lows, but shows how even through struggles, they can reach redemption in Traffick.

This was the first book that I chose to read and review on NetGalley. At first I was really into it, but then I realized that all of the characters were one-dimensional, selfish girls with no redeeming qualities and the book really just leaves the reader hanging at the end. It wasn‘t terrible, but it wasn‘t great.

Another fascinating, yet disturbing, book by Ellen Hopkins! This lady sure knows how to write about the inside of the evils of our world. Can‘t wait to read the sequel!

This was an... interesting read. Started out good, but the more I read, the less I enjoyed it. I felt like it centered around a group of high school kids that went to sadistic extremes to have freedom to be together and completely invisible.

WOW 💙 Talk about a heart-wrenching read! Glasglow does a phenomenal job of telling Tiger‘s story. This is definitely an eye-opening must read about a young girl and her journey of loss.

Vaguely remembered reading this book in high school, but couldn‘t recall all of the details so I read it again. Dark twist on feminism for sure. Just wish there would‘ve been more of the story, it ended pretty abruptly.

This was a pretty good thriller, but to be honest... I felt let down by the ending. All that build up and I did not get the outcome I was hoping for. Overall good read though!

What the actual F did I just read 🤯 Perhaps one of the most twisted books I‘ve read in a long time, but I just couldn‘t stop reading. There are a few parts where I definitely felt uncomfortable reading it, but it was a good read.

Another great read by Megan Miranda 💙 Very interesting take, telling the story in reverse. She definitely kept me guessing right up to the end.

If the few people that follow my reading list haven‘t realized, I love psychological thrillers! With that being said, Megan Miranda is a great author in that genre. Very good read, with a twist that I did not see coming.

Very interesting find 💚 Power did a great job telling the story of the girls at Raxter and all of the trials they faced when dealing with the Tox. Would definitely recommend!

Family first- always, right?
Karen McManus does it again! Another good thriller ❤️ Won‘t say much so that I don‘t spoil anything, but WOW! Did not see that ending coming!

Truly chilling story. Listening to Lia‘s journey, hearing her mindset as she battles her eating disorder, was just eye-opening. Definitely a great read 💙

Another Ellen Hopkins novel marked off of my list. As always, she does a great job building up unique characters. Fairly predictable, but still a good read just the same.

Did a novel study with my 7th grade class over A Wrinkle in Time. Somehow I had never read it before. Cute little story 💙 Would definitely recommend if you are into fantasy novels.

Didn‘t realize that Perfect was a sequel to this book, so I went back and read it. Again, Hopkins did not disappoint. I loved hearing the inner workings of her characters‘ minds and seeing how they dealt with their demons.

Apparently I am now on an Ellen Hopkins kick. Just finished Burned. It was a good book, but not my favorite by her. This one was a little predictable. Still a good read though!

Another twisted tale from Ellen Hopkins 💜 I love the way she intertwines her characters to make the whole book one connected world. As always, she does a great job hitting issues that are controversial in nature. Would definitely recommend!

“Two can keep a secret if I one of them is dead.” From one Sara Shepard book to the next. I enjoy reading her style of writing, with the killer plot twists and multiple points of view.

I‘ve always been a fan of Sara Shepard‘s writing, she is a master at plot twists. This book did not disappoint. Lots of drama and angles. Can‘t wait to read the next one!

Once again, Kara Thomas did not disappoint! I love the way she pulls you in and gets you invested in the character‘s lives. As always, plenty of twists and turns throughout. Very good read ❤️

Just finished reading, and I have to say, it was okay. Started off good, and even though I do like how the author shows us the internal struggles of the characters, the storyline just fell flat. In the end, it‘s an okay book.

An old one, but a good one. A thrilling story, full of secrets and lies, but the story Eve Benedict is anything but boring. Definitely recommend this one.

Another good book by Julie Murphy! Not your typical teenager love story. I enjoy that there is a lot about learning to live with the consequences of your actions, seeing as Alice causes quite a stir when she believed that she was dying from cancer. Would recommend this read ❤️

Probably one of the most disturbing books I‘ve ever read. Oddly enough, as horrifying as some of the content was, I couldn‘t stop reading it. Once again, Hopkins amazes me just how far she will push norms of literature to write about things that are usually hushed.

Very disturbing, yet interesting, take on teenage drug use. Was a quick read, but definitely made me want to read more by Hopkins. I like that she isn‘t afraid to write about things that most people cower away from.

Pretty good suspense novel! It drew me in and I couldn‘t stop reading, which means I finished it in two days. Definitely looking forward to reading more from Kara Thomas.

I love twisted fairytales and this one is no different ❤️ A wonderful story that shows just how important it is for a woman to be courageous and take charge of her own fate. Probably one of my favorite versions of Cinderella yet.

One word: PHENOMENAL ❤️🔥This book was an amazing read. It sends a positive message about overcoming adversity, especially as a teenage girl. I would highly recommend this book!

I absolutely loved this book! Angie Thomas did a fantastic job of putting racism and the pursuit of social justice into perspective. Would highly recommend this ❤️

Julie Murphy did not disappoint in the sequel to Dumplin‘. I enjoyed reading Puddin‘ and I love how well she intertwined the two stories even though they are told from different points of view. I would definitely recommend this book ❤️

Great read ❤️ Julie Murphy has a comical way of telling a story while also addressing serious issues underneath. Love the way she addresses different body image issues that young girls face; it sends such a positive message about self-acceptance. Definitely recommend this book!

Very interesting, twisted story told from multiple points of view. Full of suspense and drama, just as expected. Definitely enjoyed this read ❤️

This has always been my favorite book by Sarah Dessen 💜 I reread it for the first time in years. I love how after all she has been through, Remy finally learns that love is a worthwhile risk. Cute little love story!

I read the book as I listened to the audio version. I loved the audio because Mindy Kaling narrates it herself. Good read, definitely interesting! Kaling was made for comedy!

Great suspense novel! Just when you think you‘ve got things figured out, Miranda throws a curveball. I figured out pieces, but there were some things I didn‘t get work out until the end. Will definitely be reading other books by this author!

“I was so unaccustomed to such emotions, it took some time before I realized I was happy.”

Great short story! The story discusses Adeline living with an unloving mother after her father‘s death. She chooses not to speak anymore, which only makes things worse. But it‘s only a matter of time, through twists of loyalty and betrayal, before Adeline gets her happy ending.

Ran across this audiobook while looking for something new to listen to on an 8 hour road trip. I‘m surprised at how much I enjoyed it! Super cute little story about a 13 year old girl who was born without arms. It discusses how she navigates through life in a new town with her disability, and her friendship with a boy diagnosed with Tourette‘s. Would definitely recommend this!

First off, let me say, I LOVE the entire HP series ❤️ I read them at least once a year. However, this time, I chose to listen to the audio version with my daughters. Made for a great experience! I applaud JK Rowling for such a great start to a magical journey!

“In the perilous days of World Wars 1 & 2, the Gods held the fates - and the hearts - of 4 mortals in their hands.”

Wow... this book was simply amazing. I couldn‘t put it down. Berry pulls you in and entangles you in the love story of 4 individuals who had no clue that the Gods were aiding their every move. Definitely recommend this book ❤️

Wow! I really enjoyed this book! I listened to it as an audiobook (The girl that read had such an engaging voice!) and I could not stop listening. Jackson spins a suspenseful, interesting tale. Would definitely recommend this book!

“We are a collection of lost causes, stashed here so no one has to see just how wounded we are.”

This book was an insightful journey of a young girl dealing with personal loss and an eating disorder. Definitely something new for me to read. Though there were some things left unanswered, it was a good, quick read.

“I‘ve decided language isn‘t as advanced as we think it is. We‘re still apes trying to express our thoughts with grunts while most of what we want to communicate stays locked in our brains.”

Read this for my book club. It is a very intriguing story about how children deal with trauma. I really enjoyed it, and definitely cried through the last several chapters.

Listened to the audiobook, so it was interesting to hear it read with different voices, depending on whose point of view it was from. I will say, I enjoy Flynn‘s writing style and the way she builds to suspense. However, the ending was fairly predictable. Good read though!

Short, decent read. I finished it one day. It was an alright plot, but fairly predictable. At least up until the very end... what the actually hell?! I‘m still just in shock.

Probably won‘t be the last book by Natasha Preston that I read. Interested to see what else she has written.

“This is what it means to swim in the tide, to walk the earth and feel it touch your feet. This is what it means to be alive.”

I‘ve always had an avid interest in Greek mythology. I loved how this book took one character, Circe, and walks you through her life from start to finish. I also enjoyed how it ties into other famous Greek figures. Definitely makes me want to find another book about the origins of these tales. Very interesting read 💛

Well, after reading her third book, I‘m officially a Karen McManus fan! I literally read this one in two days. Love her writing style and how suspenseful her stories are. Definitely one to add to your TBR list!
