I was skeptical of reading this at first due to the teenage relationship drama and the strange formatting but in the end the formatting has won me over 😅 it's refreshing and fun and totally different from the usual YA out there!

Picked this one up from the library today on a whim. The formatting is definitely unique, to say the least 😮

Asterby What in the world! 8y
Asterby That accidentally posted too early, I meant to ask what it is about! 😅 8y
betweenthelions @Asterby I guess it would be described as sci-fi YA set in the year 2575 with space travel and AI. It's definitely interesting as it's told through documents, emails, and IMs! I think you'd probably like it but it's one you'd have to read in print and not an ebook version 8y

Fifteen Lanes | S. J. Laidlaw

⭐️⭐️⭐️Set in Mumbai and deals with India's underage sex trade and poverty from one perspective, and bullying and slut shaming from another. Noor's chapters were what kept me reading, while I found Grace's to be lacking in comparison. Would recommend looking at the author's note before reading.

Mehso-so

Dark retelling of Peter Pan with an incredibly naive, annoying main character, other undeveloped characters, instalove, and predictable story. The saving grace was Hook. I would recommend giving it a chance if you're a Peter Pan fan wanting a quick read, but don't go into it expecting too much.

Asterby Your entire review of this book excites me and worries me on reading it 😅 8y
betweenthelions @Asterby lol I think you would really like it but the whole time I was reading it I couldn't stop thinking about Once Upon a Time because it was so similar to the Peter Pan arc they did. Hook's character is definitely the best part of the book if you do end up reading it👌🏻 8y

Hoping this one lives up to the hype and doesn't disappoint me like Red Queen did 😅

Asterby Sorry if I got your hopes up about RQ the world was just too cool 😭 8y
betweenthelions @Asterby I heard so many good things about RQ and not just from you so I think I'm in the minority on thinking it was just okay 😭 I agree that the world was super interesting, but damn did Mare get on my nerves! Still debating on whether I'll pick up the sequel, maybe she'll redeem herself lol 8y
wanderlustywriter I JUST said this same thing to myself. I seriously disliked Red Queen and am quite confused as to why so many people seem to love it. This one looks good but I'm afraid of it also being overhyped. But so far, I like it! 8y
betweenthelions @wanderlustywriter Yes! RQ was disappointing but this one had a lot of things I thought RQ lacked (better world building, character development, etc). The major iffy thing was the love square but I think this one also handled it better. Lots of hype around both books but this one lived up to it imo. 8y
wanderlustywriter @betweenthelions good to hear! I'm a few chapters in and so far really liking it 8y
