A List of Cages
Author: Robin Roe
Book review added by Mel on 2024-01-18
Robin Roe's writing has a certain quality that compels me to devour her books in one go. I was particularly captivated by her latest work, Darkroom Etiquette, and my excitement led me to dive into this one as well. The story revolves around two young men who were once foster brothers and are now reunited in high school. Adam, a popular senior with ADHD, is tasked with helping Julian, who is struggling to come out of hi... Read Full Review »
All the Bright Places
Author: Jennifer Niven
Book review added by Mel on 2024-01-14
It's the story of a boy and a girl who come from different worlds, but they are both struggling in their own way. So far, nothing that we haven't read before, so what makes all the bright places different? I'm not 100% sure, but I can say that I always wanted to come back to the story. Told from two different perspectives, it explains the highs and lows of mental illness and how it can affect anyone. I liked this book ... Read Full Review »
November 9
Author: Colleen Hoover
Book review added by Mel on 2024-01-14
Alright, so I'm a big fan of Colleen Hoover, and I always love her books. It's always an easy read, and I enjoy how the story isn't predictable for the most part, and on November 9, it was no different. I can't say it was my favorite, but I really enjoyed the story line. As always, I just wanted to know how she was going to turn this one around. There is always a plot twist, some more believable than others, perhaps, b... Read Full Review »

Reminders of Him
Author: Colleen Hoover
Book review added by Mel on 2024-01-07
I'll be honest, after the first couple of chapters, I knew that it wouldn't be my favorite Colleen Hoover book. This was going to be a 3 star review, but then Colleen Hoover did it again and dragged me in, and the next thing I knew, I was crying in my bath while drinking a glass of pinot. I don't know if this book would have gotten to me so much when I didn't have a kid, but I do, and I felt bad for Kenna. However, I w... Read Full Review »
