Only You in Everything by Jennifer Ann Shore

5.0

This book was such a good book. It brought foreword topics like transgender, bullying and physical deformation. I loved getting to see the book through Cameron’s and Will’s perspective. I loved the way Jennifer showed development of them as well as Tori’s strength as a strong athlete, girlfriend and friend especially towards Bellamy. I love Jennifer’s writing. Definitely want to read her other work!

How to Love Your Neighbor by Sophie Sullivan

5.0

This book reminded me so much of my time in middle school that it made me so happy. I loved the conflict between Grace and Noah. They went from strangers to neighbors hating each other. And from there, the pieces all fit. With an wacky beginning and an amazing lesson at the end, this book is a GREAT book for young adults.

The way Grace developed as a character was such an amazing flourish. Most of all I love how in the end she stood up against her mother and how she didn’t become similar to her mother with relationships. Noah was not too far behind, he went from New York socialite to building a community center for kids like Leo, that just need a little extra attention or care. He went from being worried of being like his father, unable to keep a relationship, to wanting forever with Grace. Very amazing character development all the way with both Grace and Noah.

Let me start by saying boy am I glad there’s going to be a part two and that Karen Hopkins mentioned it because I was going to be ✨mad✨ if there wasn’t.

I loved this book. It kept me on edge every second, especially with some chapters ending with foreshadowing. I loved every characters perspective; Lucinda, Charlie and Sadie’s. I love how throughout the story we got a bit of a backstory on Charlie, without it being pushed into the story, it perfectly flowed with the storyline.

Lucinda,being the once rebellious teenager now a full-time Amish mother, falls prey to Charlie and it PERFECTLY flowed together, especially with how she puts Charlie into the community. Sadie being the sheriff was just an AMAZING element to the story, especially towards the end of the book. I loved how the setting helped out perfectly with the plot of the storyline.

The Barren Sea by B.A. Lovejoy

I loved this book so much. I love how B.A Lovejoy writes her fantasy. I think she is super articulate and she makes all of her characters super well rounded. All of her characters run into a conflict where it’s love interest/important person vs. their destiny/whole life. I’m super excited to read the other book(s) in the series!

Mina and Finn are from completely different worlds. And they only have what the other says to go off on. Both cannot reveal too much or else they damage their history/culture. Mina is a strong headed 17 year old who just wants to be the best Navia she can be. Finn is a fae from Whynne that has joined the navy as a mapmaker. Finn bumps into Mina and their life’s change completely.

The Witness Wore Red: The 19th Wife Who Brought Polygamous Cult Leaders to Justice by Rebecca Musser

heartbreaking

Growing up I watched “ Escaping Polygamy” and I also grew up in the LDS church. So I always had a hard time listening to the FLDS stories. Reading Rebecca’s story made my heart hurt for all of the people involved with Warren Jeffs and his wrath.
Dark Places by Gillian Flynn

I loved this book so much. Libby’s development as she learns more about the massacre and revisits old memories was written perfectly. It wasn’t messy and hard to understand either, which is my favorite part of it. I love how each chapter changed not only pov, but time period as well. We got to see the day leading up the killings from Patty (the mother) and from Ben’s perspective, which I loved.


This book had some wonderful suspense and mystery and definitely kept away from any romance. It did have mentioning of devil worship, drugs, molestation, and some curse words.

“Because beautiful things must find completion.”
Love and money. Two of the most dangerous things. Especially when one is supposed to be faked. Meet Lady Sophia and Simon Barre, a married couple that is only together to keep Simons estate. What happens when Sophia and Simon are in a dangerous situation that will mark her a traitor?

When Sophia came to terms with the fact that she loved him, it made me cry. I loved it. The way it all fell together was so beautiful.

It was extremely short, but very well written. It gets more like a watt pad book than a novel/short story.
