lit review: midnight sun
to even the most uptight of readers, i will unabashedly claim my love for the twilight series. in many ways, it paved the road for explosively popular teen series. stephenie meyer was fully unaware of the sheer frenzy that would follow upon the publication of the first book in her infamous saga. midnight sun was…

lit review: julie and julia
in the most meta-i’m-a-blogger moment thus far, my first book of 2021 is julie and julia. now, if you’re one of my sixty subscribers you may be wondering: didn’t you already write about julie and julia? to which i’m now responding: yes, but the movie version. and, even so, it was more of a musing…

lit review: girls of july

lit review: ready player one
so, before i begin, i’d like to apologize for my lack of posts! i know my four followers don’t mind too much, but, regardless, the only way to a loyal readership (which is a big goal of mine) is to be posting consistently! so, to hopefully end this hiatus, i’ll be posting a short, mostly…

lit review: clean
so, i did it again! i read my entire book in a day, but with a book little less magic than last time. today, i’ll be reviewing amy reed’s novel clean. my rating: ★★★☆☆ plot line: this book follows a group of five teens (olivia, jason, eva, christopher, and kelly) going through their first time…

lit review: the truth of right now
it took me a day to really just sit down and read this book, but once i did, i dived into it. so, without further ado, here’s my opinion of kara lee corthron’s the truth of right now. my rating: ★★★★★ plot line: this book follows lily and dari, two teenagers on seemingly opposite spectrums…
