Review I’m all about diversity which is why I wanted to read this anthology. In my opinion I find that the young adult genre does a great job with providing diverse stories. So as far as the anthology goes I liked some stories more than others. Some stories were well written and some stopped just when things got interesting. A […]
Review: Phew. This book had a lot going on at times and it was intense. This book was a little depressing if I am being honest. It touched on a death in the family. Child abuse.

Lord. Imagine if an organization like this really existed? A lot of people would be in BIG trouble. In my opinion, social […]

I have read short stories in anthologies by this author which I enjoyed but this book was next level. We are introduced to Dove aka Birdie who is struggling with being the perfect daughter but also wants to […]
Review: Amanda is one of the descendants of Cupid but doesn’t believe in love. Isn’t that something? This was a cute and funny story about a girl trying to run away from love as fast as she can. Amanda has always felt love wasn’t real and pretty much a chemical disorder. I liked Amanda and thought she was a hoot! […]
