The Upside of Falling by Alex Light

There's just something about a book when the character or characters also love books! I think that's one of my favorite things about this book. Becca loved her romance novels.

This Adventure Ends by Emma Mills

From the very beginning, I knew I was going to like this book. Mostly, because from the moment we meet, Sloane, I loved her. She's snarky and doesn't care what people think of her. She's honest, blunt, hilarious and cares deeply. I loved her so much. I think this is another great job by Emma …

First & Then by Emma Mills

This is my first book by Emma Mills! I have had this sitting on my bookshelf for a couple years now. This year, I'm focusing on my own bookshelves. I've got three of her books and decided it was time to read them. I loved this book. I wasn't completely hooked into the plot, at …

Serious Moonlight by Jenn Bennett

This is my first Jenn Bennett book. I think I had a lot of expectations because I know a few bloggers who love Bennett. It wasn't a bad book but it was just ... fine. I really enjoyed the relationship between Birdie and Daniel. Bennett does talk about some dark subjects but she handles it …
