I started to compile my monthly list of books to look forward to and realized there are tons of YA books releasing in April that look amazing. So I decided to dedicate a post to some of the fantastic YA books I'm looking forward to. It's going to be an amazing month for new YA… Continue reading 10 YA Books to Look Forward to in April

Off the Wild Coast of Brittany, Juliet Blackwell
Off the Wild Coast of Brittany tells the stories of two sisters who have come through an unconventional and rigorous upbringing. Natalie is renovating an old inn, and it’s not going according to plan. The inn and the island are charming and carry so much history. Perhaps that history can bring these sisters together. Then… Continue reading Off the Wild Coast of Brittany, Juliet Blackwell
The Nowhere Girls, Amy Reed
I want to start my review by saying I DNF’d this book with less than 100 pages left. I’m going to talk about why I DNF’d it, so it might be a bit spoiler-y in telling y’all why I wanted to throw my tablet across the room. The story started fine. I liked how we… Continue reading The Nowhere Girls, Amy Reed
End of March TBR
I think I finally have my e-reader situation sorted so I can read more books! I have a new app that I don't 100% love, but it will do. I really don't like change so that could be why I don't love this app, but I do hope to get used to it. Let's get… Continue reading End of March TBR
Reading Funk
I have a confession. I bought into the hype regarding Tracy Wolff’s Crave series. If you loved this series, don’t read on because I didn’t love them, and this post will make you angry. If you haven’t read them, don’t read on because there will be (some minor) spoilers. I'm aware those two statements will… Continue reading Reading Funk
The Wife Upstairs, Rachel Hawkins
Told through alternating points of view, The Wife Upstairs is a thriller that slowly creeps up on you. It makes you wonder how their stories will come together. Jane is sketchy right off, you know she makes some questionable decisions, and she’s not exactly on the right side of the law sometimes. But she’s also… Continue reading The Wife Upstairs, Rachel Hawkins
Five Total Strangers, Natalie D. Richards
I am not entirely sure what I just read. Mira kept repeating herself and her thoughts because the author would start a thread of thought and abandon it, never to return. Questions arose that went unanswered. I thought, she must be in a coma because why is none of this making sense? Teens are not… Continue reading Five Total Strangers, Natalie D. Richards
The Perfect Daughter, D.J. Palmer
Wow! This is a book that draws you in and doesn’t let go from the very start. I love when an author gives you an unreliable narrator written so well, you can’t trust what you’re reading. Because Penny suffers from DID, she can’t be entirely sure of her actions because she has multiple alters. Her… Continue reading The Perfect Daughter, D.J. Palmer
The Stillwater Girls, Minka Kent
I borrowed The Stillwater Girls from Amazon Prime when it came up as a recommended read. The idea of girls raised away from civilization had a promising premise, and the book didn’t disappoint. I became oddly fascinated at the strict rules imposed on the girls, on how naïve they were, and wondered why a single… Continue reading The Stillwater Girls, Minka Kent
Broken (in the best possible way), Jenny Lawson
I found Jenny on Twitter some years ago and then spent two days reading through her blog. Finding out she had published a few books was the icing on the cake. So when she announced a new book was forthcoming, I stalked NetGalley, waiting for it to arrive, in hopes I could get lucky enough… Continue reading Broken (in the best possible way), Jenny Lawson
