Pobody's nerfect?I’ve tried to branch out more into other genres and new authors with my reading this year, and some of the bigger gaps in my library include YA and lesbian lit. Just my luck, then, that MrsLangdonAlger posted a review for not one but two YA coming out novels with female protagonists...
Astrid Jones desperately wants to confide in someone, but her mother's pushiness and her father's lack of interest tell her they're the last people she can trust. Instead, Astrid spends hours lying on the backyard picnic table watching airplanes fly overhead. She doesn't know the passengers inside, ...
3.5 starsThis is a story about a girl who is questioning and leaning toward being gay. She has a girlfriend, but she is figuring everything out, including her life in a new town and troubles with her parents. I feel like family relationships are just as big of a focus as anything else in this book...
Whatever I write here for my review will not give this book the justice it deserves. I listened to this book as I made my way down the road and then sometimes I sat just waiting in my car for that “one more chapter” to finish up, as I just couldn’t leave my new adopted family and go about my life un...
I did enjoy reading this, but I wasn't totally blown away by this book. Astrid Jones lives in a small town with her controlling workaholic mother, not-so-secretly pot smoking father, and her little sister who seems to fit in perfectly in this town that Astrid hates so much. Astrid likes to lie dow...

She spent the entire book being very unsure of her sexuality, and when people asked her if she was a lesbian she would tell th...

However, she and her family gets caught in the they-expect-you-to-be-perfect business where there is continuous gossip and rumor. Astrid begins to fall in love.. wi...
***Note: this review assumes that you've read the book.*** One-sentence summary: King didn't grow this book organically, she assembled it too methodically. I listened to this as an audiobook, and the narrator (Devon Sorvari) did not do it any favors. Still, I tried to see the words as she spoke,...
So, here's the thing. I finished this book yesterday and I just couldn't tell you guys because IT WAS SO GREAT I CAN'T THINK OF HOW TO EXPLAIN HOW GREAT IT IS. I WILL be doing a video review about it with more thoughts, but here's some current thinkings:1) A.S. King writes some of my favourite main ...
