She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen REVIEW
THIS BOOK WAS...EVERYTHING!!!This is the YA sapphic romance I NEEDED as a high schooler. If I had had this, maybe I wouldn't have read so much fanfiction. It has all the best tropes: enemies-to-lovers, fake dating, basketball-player-and-cheerleader pairing, and some others I won't spoil ;). The romance had me squealing with delight and looking like… Continue reading She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen REVIEW
The Ex-Girlfriend of My Ex-Girlfriend is my Girlfriend REVIEW
The title is all too real. This book is like reading one of those magazine advice columns, except everyone who writes in to ask for advice is gay and the advice column writers are also gay and give advice that is both heart warming and keeps it real. As a non-binary lesbian, I found this… Continue reading The Ex-Girlfriend of My Ex-Girlfriend is my Girlfriend REVIEW

We Used to Be Friends Review
I am having ALL. THE. FEELS. This summer, I read Amy Spalding's other YA novel, The Summer of Jordi Perez (and the Best Burger in Los Angeles) and it was really everything sapphic I needed. So imagine my excitement to see Spalding had released a new book in 2020! I was really just expecting a… Continue reading We Used to Be Friends Review
The Library of Legends Review
Janie Chang's MIND y'all. The Library of Legends was SO GOOD. It was so magical, imaginative, and full of adventure and mystery. The story took so many turns and was full of this magical nostalgia. The magical elements reminded me of something we would see straight out of a studio ghibli movie, while the historical… Continue reading The Library of Legends Review
Take a Hint, Dani Brown Review
