3 things about this book:1. This is what it is. A book with a road trip to get to a destination and an interior trip to get to understand life and everything. Both these trips are made by teenager girl with some problems. You get the idea, right?2. Loved the way this book was written. With the lett...
Mosquitoland was an odd book for me. I knew right away that if it got into the blogosphere enough, it would be a new trend book like The Fault in Our Stars. It’s full of so much deep thought and quirky opinions that it’s like, what’s not to love? But my feelings on it were pretty so-so. It was an in...

This author is now on my must buy list. 17 & Gone is a strange mystery about a girl who hears and sees the ghosts of teen girls who have gone missing a...
Hey guys, I hope you all are having a great day! This is my review to Mosquitoland by David Arnold! “I am a collection of oddities, a circus of neurons and electrons: my heart is the ringmaster, my soul is the trapeze artist, and the world is my audience. It sounds strange because it is, and it is...
My review from Goodreads didn't carry over, so... here we go. While, since reading, I've read some very well-thought-out objections to some of the content in this novel (it didn't bother me but it's not my place to say whether or not it's worth getting up in arms about; I totally see where those i...
