pick3rd in the series did not disappoint.
The 4 friends each with their own distinct cornerstones, family drama, romance drama, but similar undeveloped prefrontal cortex decision making… It‘s so awkward & dramatic & ✨perfect✨
Each ends on a cliffhanger, this was a big 1
One creepy adult got what was coming to him
I‘ve taken a 6 month break between each book but there‘s plenty of details sprinkled throughout without getting bogged down with history.
pickGosh. This book was stressful. Bad things happening to characters you really like 😰 it cracks me up that the author thought she‘d written a cozy book, then admitted later she‘d “forgotten about all the death” 🤣 if you like fantasy books set on ships, in the ocean etc, check this one out.
pickRead this as part of the readathon a couple of weeks ago. I‘d call this a soft pick. It‘s a collection of short stories about love and life in high school. The book benefits from the stories being short, as the book on the whole hasn‘t aged well. Mostly fun, a little squirmy 😂
pickGlad I finally got around to this book! It‘s delightful, slightly heartbreaking, but ultimately hopeful. A fantastic story of non-conformity. And bonus, the audiobook is read by the late, great (but never forgotten) John Ritter! I so want to see the Disney+ adaptation now too.

pick4.5⭐
This is a book that explores the implicit societal rules imposed on girls, presenting a realistic yet hopeful narrative. It stands out for its excellent writing, compelling characters, and powerful message. The narration by Julia Whelan was perfect.
They pulled him into the circle with them and danced slowly, so he could follow their steps. Even so, Azalea felt a warmth flicker within her. It was the best dance that had ever done.

pickI actually just finished this YA Victorian horror novel and it perfectly fits today‘s #springskies prompt since the main protagonist is a transmasc autistic teen. #neurodivergent
This was really well done if brutal and touches on so many very modern issues that the historical setting only helped to highlight. I‘ve been on a YA-avoidance kick lately, but I‘m happy the cover of this one made me dive in anyway.
