Already being a big fan of Courtney Summers since I read This Is Not a Test, I knew before going into this that it was going to be a ride with a lot of feels! So much feels!Parker is the definition of a snarky bitch. She has an attitude you want to slap her for, but as a protagonist she's especially...

I'm going to stray a little from my normally cohesive review format, to discuss this rollercoaster ride of a book.Some books - well, most books - have a way about them. They have this format where it's almost like the author has managed to zap themselves between the pages, luring you inside and whis...

After reading Cracked Up To Be I am ready to start a Courtney Summers fan club. Every book I have read by her is my perfect book. They are straight to the point and they feature characters who are so blunt and real that you feel like you knew them in high school. She is the only author I have com...

Ever since I read this novel, I've been judiciously punishing myself. I made a vow to not pick up another Courtney Summers book until I had tackled this review first and although I have sat down to type out this review on more than one occasion, the words never came. Even now, over two months since ...

My first Courtney Summers book was This Is Not a Test, which I loved (and read!) in 2012. I'm not the biggest contemporary YA fan, but I really enjoyed her writing style, no-nonense and intense, so I thought I would give her first book, Cracked Up To Be, a whirl.Let me be completely honest, Parker i...

I actually reviewed this one towards the end of January; however, during the process of writing my review, my internet connection timed out and I lost the whole thing. Oops! I really enjoyed the other two books that I read by Courtney (Some Girls Are and This is Not a Test), but something about Cr...

4.5 starsUntil I snap out of my lazy holiday phase and write an actual review, please do yourself a favour and read this post by Summers (some spoilers), on "nice" girls. Perfect post is perfect.

Gosh Courtney Summers writing just gets under your skin. This was the second book I've read by her. I've gotta say, I just love the way that she writes. Her voice and her prose are AMAZING. This is a troubling and difficult story. The narrator is dealing with a lot. It's a page turner because you w...

This was certainly not what I expected. It was so much more and I loved every single page of it.Can't wait to get my hands on Courtney Summers's other books. I can already tell I'm going to love every single one.

Also appears on The Screaming Nitpicker.A few weeks ago, I promptly swooned over Courtney Summers's novel This Is Not a Test and took it upon myself to acquire her three previous novels, and it just so happens I went from her fourth and most recent novel to her first. I can clearly see how much the ...
