This was the last book I read in 2019, and what a way to end a bookish year. A Constellation of Roses is a dark yet hopeful tale about finding your family. Trix McCabe’s had a hard life. The book […]
What an infuriating book. I liked it a lot. This was my first Moira Fowley-Doyle novel and if this is the type of story she promises, I have to read her previous works immediately. All the Bad Apples manages to […]
What a surprise The Astonishing Color of After was. It’s a beautiful look at family, mental health, identity, love, and forgiveness. I’m glad I read this book when I did; it’s stayed on my mind since I turned the last page. […]

A FIERCE AND SUBTLE POISON was one of my most anticipated 2016 reads. It looked dark and magical, and I love dark storylines. The location is one that has hardly been used in young adult fiction, if at all. Inspired […]
First off, Hey! My name’s Amy O and I’ll be contributing the occasional review here. I’m excited to jump on board and interact with all you book lovers out there! Second, this might be a little misleading for my first […]
As I’m writing this, I’ve finished this book over an hour ago. I still don’t know what to rate it or how to review it. And that’s new to me, because normally it never takes me this long. I always […]
