I loved the diversity in this book. The science-fictiony element of the institute offering a treatment that could make you forget things was interesting but not for me. I think the story was relatable in some ways but unrealistic in others. I think some people would love the storyline and main chara...

This was recommended to me since I loved "Everyone We've Been." This book has a similar setup teen gets to a tough moment in life and wants to go an institute and get his memoires suppressed. However, there's a twist and then even more after that. I felt for the character of Aaron Soto. However, I f...

It’s not a happy book while you’re reading it but once it’s over, I was happy. I was happy because it was final, the decision had been made, it seemed definite and the words spoken by Thomas which spoke the title of this novel seemed liked the icing on the cake and that is what I was looking for in ...

Holy hell, I have extremely mixed feelings about this. I feel let-down, but it wasn't unenjoyable. Firstly, a warning: The title is misleading. There is no HEA, this is not a particularly happy book, and there is little to no romance. This is sad and poignant and the ending left me with no closure...

Around the Year Reading Challenge Item #36: An identity book - a book about a different culture, religion or sexual orientationAlthough this book suffers a bit for feeling like a "first novel" (some awkward transitions, shallow development of secondary characters, a twist I could see coming), there ...

"If you looked inside me, I bet you’d find two different hearts beating for two different people, like the sun and moon up at the same time, a terrible eclipse I’m the only witness to." Oh how I wish I could wrap this synopsis up in a neatly constructed, pretty bow and deliver this book to you in ...

The boy with no direction taught me something unforgettable: happiness comes again if you let it. This book is freaking fantastic. It deserves all the stars and more. If you haven’t read this book then um, what are you waiting for?! Read this book now if you haven’t because EVERYONE should read thi...

There are so many things to love about this book. First of all I found it really refreshing that this book centered around characters that were racially diverse and immersed in issues of poverty and violence. It's so rare to read about realistic inner city kids in teen fiction, as so many teen books...
