More of Me

More of Me by Kathryn Evans |

A creative story idea that mixes light sci-fi with a contemporary YA setting; if you’ve ever wondered what your past self was like, or what life would be like if you could clone yourself, this novel will entertain and perplex you!

Once and For All

May 25, 2017 | Sarah
Once and For All by Sarah Dessen |

Sarah Dessen fans will not be disappointed with this book, it is a solid contemporary YA read – cynicism about love, enemies with chemistry, restoring hope to the hopeless, and all this develops among oh-so-the ironic setting of the wedding planning world.

Flash review: When Dimple met Rishi and Romancing the Throne

May 23, 2017 | Olivia
When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon | Romancing the Throne by Nadine Jolie Courtney

May has already been an amazing month for book releases, and the party isn’t over yet! There are some fantastic contemporary reads coming out over the next two weeks (and anyone who knows me knows that I’m not always rah rah contemporary, so that’s saying something). Today I’m going to talk about two of them!

Seeking Mansfield

May 10, 2017 | Sarah
Seeking Mansfield by Kate Watson |

An original take on Mansfield Park by Jane Austen. Author Kate Watson takes some liberties with the character backstories to make the story her own, but stays true to their personalities. The adaptation of the adult tale to a YA world was artfully done to make the eventual “coming into oneself” of the main characters all the more powerful. Recommended to fans of a heartwarming, if slightly frustrating, tale and Austen fans, of course!
