Review:Wow, just wow. I have been looking for a great dystopia ever since Anglefall (Penryn's adventure) and this book may have been even better. Perhaps because this world is entirely created from the author and is so different while also being believable. I absolutely love these characters, I cried and laughed with them. I finished the book in between work and far into the night (4am!!!) The ending (no spoiler) was so emotional and yet left me with hope for a sequel. I dare not say more!!! P.S. This ... Read more

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 received this book yesterday, so I have not had time to start reading it. But I have heard wonderful things about this book. The package came very quickly which was great because I go on vacation soon and wanted this book, especially in paperback. I can not wait to start reading this book along with my others books for my summer reading list. Read more

Review:Really a good story. So much action, deceit and betrayal. For a brief moment there's joy, but too soon crushed achingly.
Great characters and interaction. I don't if there is another book, but I hope so. It would be nice to see Mare have a semblance of a happy ending. Most of the time reality sucks, especially for everyone in these stories. 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:As much as I liked the other books, I hate it!! I like happy ending and now I feel like stupid reading the saga during a week and find this end! I'm very disappointed!! I wish I could give zero stars!! Read more
