Confession time. The only reason I read this book was because I was at the library, it was sitting there on the shelf at eye level and I was facing a bookless bus ride home. To say my enthusiasm for diving in to this story that I'd so actively opted not to read so many times was low, would be genero...

This book wowed me on so many levels. I’d heard of Leah Raeder before and had begun one of her other books, but really didn’t like the subject matter (a cam girl), so set it down. I decided to give her a second chance when I saw the reviews that were gushing about her prose. I’m so glad that I did b...
The Reading Perusals of Rose Summers
Initial reaction: I'm still trying to decide how to do the review for this book. Should I do a standard discussion review to kind of vet out all of my feels on this book, or should I do "Black Iris: The Musical" - which would be all in verse? (ROGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN HAVE NOTHING ON YOU - you may say...

This review was originally posted on Bookish Things & MoreThoughts on Cam GirlThis is going to be pretty damn scatter-brained.  Raeder always leaves me thinking and hopeful.  It's one thing I can always count on with one of her books, and Cam Girl is no different.Vada and Ellis are amazing character...

I have to admit I went into this book with high expectations. I think that is part of why I did not enjoy Unteachable as much as I could have. High expectations always ruin the reading experience because it is seldom that they can be met. The other part why I did not enjoy Unteachable more than I di...

“Fuck forgiveness. That’s what they want me to do. Make it easy for them. Clear their consciences. Let them get away with what they’ve done. The powerful. The strong. The privileged. Not a fucking chance.” I'm honestly in awe of Leah Raeder right now. The fact that she produced such a darkly poet...

Brilliant, but fuckedMaddeningDarker than darkBest mindfuck I am not a patient person. This book tested that. I was contemplating a one star review halfway in. Because I was pissed! I needed answers and not knowing was irritating me. I felt played by the unreliable narrator and blindsighted by per...

Wow. Ungh. I have no idea how to rate this. I’m not even sure I LIKED it, even though it is unquestionably a good book. It pulled me all over the place: made me frustrated, anxious and uncomfortable. And at times amused. Leah Raeder, I almost hate you for building tension little by little throug...

This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life.1 StarI didn't like this book at all. I was so excited to get an early copy of this book because I saw everyone raving about it on Goodreads. I just knew that this would be a book that I would fall in love with based on all the 5 star reviews t...

As someone who is not into angsty, explicit, NA romances, I liked this book very much. It is all about the writing, I think. How would I know anything about writing, I am not sure. The best example I can give is that I felt such an empathy with Maise. Generally, I like or dislike characters. In this...
