“Love and Olives” My Review

Fiction + Romance + Young Adult

Okay, let’s talk about Love & Olives, this book is the 3rd book in the Love and Gelato Series and in my opinion is the best in the series. It is technically a standalone, so if you only read one, make it this one.

“Love & Luck” My Review

Fiction + Romance + Young Adult

I’ll give you one reason to read this book: It. Takes. Place. In. Ireland. But, just to warn you, this book is less of a romance and more of a getting over heartbreak story, but the rest of the book more than makes up for it.

“Love & Gelato” My Review

Fiction + Romance + Young Adult

This book is the perfect summer read. In a nutshell, here is what you should expect… Italy… Gelato… A big secret… A love interest with a gap between their two front teeth… and a girl with CrAZy hair. Yep, that is Love & Gelato wrapped up with a bow.

“Sunkissed” Review: A Clean Summer Romance Worth Reading

Fiction + Romance + Young Adult

I needed a bit of sun and summer in these cold winter months that just don’t seem to end, and this book gave me just that. Sunkissed is a great summer read, but honestly, I think it’s a good read for anyone looking for a clean, fun, sunny story.

Everything Everything: A Romantic Emotional Rollercoaster

Romance + Young Adult

I read this book last month after taking one look at its beautiful cover and immediately buying it. I then waited until I finished the book I was currently reading (I know, such self control and maturity) before starting Everything Everything.

“Rise of the Vicious Princess” Review

Fantasy + Fiction + Romance + Young Adult

My friend read this book before me and basically forced me to read it. Well, not really. I willingly picked it up the moment I heard it had the princess and bodyguard trope.

“The Goliath Code” Review:

Christian Literature + Dystopian + Fiction + Young Adult

This book really intrigued me. It is about the Rapture. If you do not know what that is, it is essentially the end of the world as described in the Bible, when all Christians are taken to heaven before chaos breaks out on Earth.
I have always loved dystopian novels, but I had never read one based on real biblical events.

“The Outsiders” Review: A Story of Friendship, Loss and Growing Up

Classics + Fiction + Young Adult

”The Outsiders” is a book about friendship, belonging, and growing up. It is heavy and emotional, yet still easy to read and connect with. Here is why I suggest reading “The Outsiders.”

“The Fault in Our Stars” Review: A Tragic Love Story, Full of Heart

Fiction + Romance + Young Adult

Some books grab your attention immediately, pulling you into the story from the very first sentence and making it impossible not to keep reading. The Fault in Our Stars does exactly that.

“Heart Check” Review: A Romance that Delivers

Fiction + Romance + Young Adult

I bought Heart Check on a whim. The cover was cute, the synopsis drew me in, and after a quick Google search, I came to the conclusion that it was clean. So I brought it home, admired the cover for far too long, and then started reading.
