“I am the weed growing through the sidewalk's cracks, resilient, but knowing I'll someday be ripped out by the root.”

Happy Friday! 🍂

#recommendsday Lindsay Smith's Sekret serves up some Cold War spy drama with psychic teens and a large dose of feels. If Eleven was your favorite character on Stranger Things, pick this up now (no monsters or parallel universes, just really cool, and sometimes visceral psychic powers). I really need to read Skandal!

Has giant tbr pile, goes to library and finds a duo to read first because how often do you get to read a YA novel set in Russia!

This wasn't the shit show that I was lead to believe it would be, but still wasn't great. Prose left a lot to be desired, but it was fun enough. I enjoyed the Russian atmosphere and I'll check out the sequel at some point.

A lot of reviewers I read didn't like this book, but I'm so thirsty for YA Russian fiction, that I'm willing to bite. So far, so good.

I finished this for book club. I had higher expectations based on the premise. But the pacing and the lack of a good tie into historical information didn't convince me to continue on with the series.
