Review:Julie Buxbaum knows the insides of a teen's heart and mind! In TELL ME THREE THINGS she hits the nail on the head with the emotions of Jessie, who moves to LA with her father who marries a seemingly wicked stepmother. Everything in her life as she knows it changes in an instant. It's been two years since her mom has died and she's still grieving, and now this, everything has been taken away from her. In LA, an anonymous email comes to her and a friendly/flirty correspondence begins -- this SOMEB... Read more

Review:Loved the flow of the story and the brother and sister's voices back and forth as the story unfolded. The use of art in their lives was essential to the plot and so colorful. I felt the ending of the book was rushed were as the beginning was slow moving. Although this is not necessarily a criticism. I find it hard to believe that Jude's character would toss Noah's CSA application away. Read more

Review:I wish I could go back in time and give this book to my teenage self. It perfectly captures the wild joy and pain of crushes. It all hits home, Penny's relationship with her mom, the joy of seeing a new text appear on your phone, the anxiety of starting college. I want to give this book to the teens in my life so they can feel that comfort and love too. Read more

Review:Holding Up the Universe is a solid contemporary fiction YA by Jennifer Niven. What I love most about this genre is that it allows you to view a different perspective, and Niven nails two unique POVs in this one!

Holding Up the Universe alternates between two perspectives. One follows Libby, an overweight teen, who at one point was known as "the fattest teen in the world" at over 600 pounds. The second is that of Jack, a multicultural teen faced with prosopagnosia, the inability to reco... Read more

Review:Honestly, its so hard to find a teen novel that does not showcase an emotionally or mentally abusive relationship between the two chracters that are in love. In most books they romanticise the act of letting another person become your whole world. Which is abuse. This book was so oddly healthy. My mind feels better after reading it, I feel better. I enjoyed it so much....every last word. Read more

Review:I was waiting for these stories to come out an eternity, and finally managed to have time to indulge myself into reading this incredible story. Love it. If you love Tobias "Four" Eaton as mush as I do, then I recommend you to read these SHORT stories based on him. Thank you Veronica Roth Read more

Review:Spoilers!!!!
So much explaining on why the princess “feels” the way she does regaining to EVERYTHING!!!
The plot was decent enough. I barely became emotionally attached to any characters what so ever. I think the ending should have occurred in the middle of the book and there should have been more about those actions and then ended setting up for book 2 with Theo freeing the mines and Cres becoming queen and then killing the Kaiser. So much better.

This is a borrow/library read in m... Read more

Review:Takes you on another walk through Veronica's mind... The reasoning behind the factions... I loved it! It's great that it's free! But I would have payed a little to read it too :-)
Thx "V" for clearing some stuff up ;-) Read more

Review:I really enjoyed this one a lot. It probably has to be my favorite in the Four series, only because this one talks about meeting Tris and some events that happen in the Divergent book but now come to light. The tension he has with Eric, the struggle to admit his feelings for Tris, the struggle with the decision to tell Abnegation about the upcoming struggle; I mean there is so much that Four has to go through and that is why I enjoy reading about him overcoming his struggles, that I can relate t...

Review:Scythe is my first Neal Shusterman book AND one of the best books I’ve read this year. Society lives in a utopia. We’ve defeated death, poverty, hunger, you name it. Do people turn to a Star Trek-type society and explore space and do good things? Nope, they “turn the corner” when they get tired of looking old, having surgery to bring them back to a younger face and body. They stop doing, stop trying to achieve; it’s a stagnant society that doesn’t die. That’s where the Scythes come in.

So... Read more
