Review: The Loneliest Girl in the Universe by Lauren James (Spoiler-Free)
If a life of fear isn’t worth living, then why should I carry on?
I'll admit it. I was very wrong about my predictions of the plot twists... So kudos to Lauren James for managing to fool me, and kudos to myself for coming up with a better one lol (specifics about my theory come later in this review).
I absolutely loved the way Romy's character was portrayed in this novel, especially her battles with anxiety and intrusive thoughts. While it is never explicitly stated that

Review: Radio Silence by Alice Oseman (Spoiler-Free)
I went into this book with the absolute highest of expectations, and what I got was not really what I was expecting. I know, I know, that's completely my own fault, but that doesn't change my feelings. I was utterly addicted to this book, but overall it just didn't quite meet/match what I expected it to be.
What did I think it would be? You might ask.
Well, I honestly don't really know. I know that I thought it would change me. I thought I would feel like I absolutely nee

Review: Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott (Spoiler-Free)
This is going to be a book that's very hard to review. I think the best ways to describe my feelings on it require a disclaimer:
1) This book was written based on the screenplay of the movie. So, while the movie came out after the book, the movie essentially came first.
2) I went into this book expecting it to be tropey and whatnot, but still hoping it would be entertaining, and that was the perfect way to approach it.
3) I had an enormous amount of faith in this book and

Update: Ruse by Cindy Pon (Spoiler-Free)
DNF @ 30%
I know exactly what went wrong here. The same thing happened when I tried to read The Brink of Darkness on NetGalley a year after the first one came out... except it's been two years since I read Want. Something about the combination of not reading a physical copy, and not caring about the world or characters anymore just makes a terrible mix.
I honestly feel bad about not finishing this, but I just don't have the time to be reading books I'm not enjoying.

Review: The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness (Spoiler-Free)
It took me a long time to read this book, but NOT because I wasn't enjoying it. There are two reasons why this took me a while to read:
1. I have been VERY busy.
2. I wanted to savor every moment of this story.
I listened to this book on audio and oh my god, was it good. I think this might be my favorite audiobook of all time-- it might even beat the Illuminae Files audiobooks. I honestly don't know how I would have felt about this book if it weren't for the audio. The n
