ARC Review: The Honey-Don't List by Christina Lauren

I received this ARC on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review (THANKS!) Rating: 5 Stars I was over the moon when I got the ARC for this book. I devour every  Christina Lauren  book I can get my hands on and when I heard this book is about people who work for a home renovation show, I jumped on this ARC so fast.   I loved both the main characters and watching them fall for each other while also managing their respective difficult bosses was super fun. They are trying to manage a PR nightmare (a famous couple who want to break up when their brand is their love life) while on a book tour. I liked seeing the disability rep in Carey's character, who has a disability involving pain in her hands and witnessing her character arc in the story was inspiring. I also liked James, who is doing a job he is overqualified for (which is #relatable for a lot of millennials).  If you loved the Netflix movie Set It Up as much as I do, you will love  The Honey-Don't Li...

ARC Review: Tweet Cute by Emma Lord

I received an ARC on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review (Thanks!)  Guys, this book is so freaking WHOLESOME. There are so many scenes where the characters are baking and there were so many good pop culture references (i.e., Mean Girls, Gossip Girl, Taylor Swift). This is a YA rom-com filled with sugary descriptions and memes (yes they fall in love while making MEMES. If this isn't so 2019/20, IDK what is). It is a very sweet PG romance (if you care about the steaminess of the romance).  While this is an adorable love story, it does focus a lot on the characters figuring out what they want to do after high school. It also deals with family issues (specifically feeling like you're living in the shadow of your sibling and how to deal after a divorce).  Overall,  Tweet Cute  is a wonderful coming of age story perfect for teens today. It perfectly encaptures the current online landscape teens face while creating an adorable teen romance.

ARC Review: Herding Cats by Sarah Andersen

Rating: 5 stars! I received an ARC on NetGalley. (Thanks!) I've loved every one of  Sarah Andersen 's comic collections and  Herding Cats  is no exception. They are always laugh-out-loud hilarious and relatable. Her art style is adorable and I always read these books in one sitting because I get addicted to the laughs.  Highly recommend to anyone looking to get into graphic novels. You can start with any one of  Sarah Andersen 's collections! My Reviews of: Adulthood is a Myth Big Mushy Happy Lump Save Save

Favourite YA Historical Fiction Novels (as of August 2017)

I feel like Historical YA fiction is kind of an underrated genre. YA Dystopian novels used to be huge back in the Hunger Games craze and now YA Fantasy and YA contemporary Romances are popular. A lot of the Historical YA books can run a little young sometimes but here's some of my favourites.
