What I love about Stephanie Perkins is that her characters are all in real time. I LOVE her passage of time. I love her writing style. They are both refreshing in a way I hadn't known I was missing. While Lola and the Boy Next Door could stand alone, I can't help but notice that … Continue reading Lola and The Boy Next Door

#GirlBoss
I am a girl boss and if we're all being perfectly honest, you can be too. I started watching the new Netflix original #GirlBoss a couple of weeks ago and damn if I wasn't pulled in right away. It's smart, funny, and...wait for it... Loosely based on true events. That was enough for me to … Continue reading #GirlBoss

Before I fall
If there is one story I can read, reimagined time and time again, it's the groundhog day - 12 days of chirstmas - butterfly effect - repete this day until you finally get it right - story. BEFORE I FALL was the perfect reimagined version of this. I was a fan of Lauren Oliver when I … Continue reading Before I fall
Fangirl
FANGIRL is my third Rainbow Rowell book and so maybe my love of ELEANOR AND PARK and KINDRED SPIRITS should have been the clue that reading more of Rainbow's stuff was a good idea. But if I'm being honest, I had this fear that I'd be let down. It happens sometimes. You build an author up … Continue reading Fangirl
Ronit & Jamil
RONIT & JAMIL by Pamela L. Laskin is a Lyrical novel in verse. It's a fresh retelling of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet where the star-crossed lovers are in modern-day Israel and Palestine stuck in the middle of their countries conflict. There were a lot of reasons I picked up this book: the cover art is … Continue reading Ronit & Jamil
More Happy Than Not
I think most readers of Adam Silvera's MORE HAPPY THAN NOT, probably don't remember Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but I do. Silvera's first novel brings this idea of erasing bad memories, to a new generation. A rollercoaster of emotions have wrecked havoc on my emotional state while reading this book. I kept hoping for a happy … Continue reading More Happy Than Not
13 Reasons Why
It's no secret the internet has been blowing up with the new Netflix original series 13 REASONS WHY based on the book by Jay Asher produced by Selena Gomez and her mother. I happened upon it last week and started watching it on a whim. I'd never heard of it or the book. In fact … Continue reading 13 Reasons Why
Lolita
This has been on my "to-read" list for years. YEARS. I'm finally getting around to it. Or should I say, got around to it. Such a twisted story, one that is both at times revolting and fascinating. I never shied from the book, instead, the pages kept turning and I quickly was finished. I find … Continue reading Lolita
Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls, and Everything in Between
I can remember the first time I watched a preview for Gilmore Girls. I was the same age as one of the main characters, Rory Gilmore. I fell in love from the first episode and have since watched it several times. I even started a blog as a class assignment a few years ago called … Continue reading Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls, and Everything in Between
