"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on." - Robert FrostBeautifully written. I can't exactly place my feelings on this because of the mix of emotions. I believe that life is about taking chances and I'm glad that's what Parker realized in the end. Julianna's journ...

This story is about a girl reading about another girl's story.And you are reading a review about a story about a girl reading about another girl's story.Immediately after reading Golden my impulse was to give it a 4. Despite the sluggish start, I found myself captivated by a good and tautly drawn my...

Golden left me a little torn. On one hand, I really enjoyed it but on the other, it left me feeling unmoved. The prose was beautiful. The introspectiveness of it pulled me right in when I opened the books and read the first few pages. Eventually, the prose wasn’t enough anymore. Not when the plot b...

60 percent into this book I knew how it was going to end.Though it didn't go exactly how I thought, I got the main things right. What makes me mad is if this had gone differently , this book would be a solid three or even four star book for me. No such luck, though. I am going to put it out there, I...

It holds bits of parallelism with my current dilemmas as a confused college individual (even if ...

So if you haven't heard, I've been in a bit of a book rut. It has been ugly and lasted over a month. I mean, WHY IS LIFE SO CRUEL??? I won't go into the whys or what I speculate are the contributing factors of why it happened, but join me in the epic happy dance that it is over. Seriously. Joi...

I almost missed out on Jessi Kirby’s books from a lack of interest, and I am so glad I decided to pick up her first two books anyway. Otherwise, I probably would have ignored all the gushing about her latest book and I wouldn’t have found such a reliable contemporary author. Parker was a pretty in...
