I received a copy from Netgalley. A delightful story focusing on two teens during Pride week in San Francisco. Mark is in love with his best friend Ryan while Kate’s best friend has set her up with a girl who she’s built up in her mind and finally gets to meet after hearing about her from other pe...

All in all I really enjoyed this book. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is that I empathized more with Mark's character than Kate's. Kate drove me around the bend since most of her story-line was about her being afraid for no good reason. I still enjoyed the book, but I was going oh for ...

***This review has also been posted on The Social Potato You Know Me Well is an incredibly well-written feel-good book that doesn’t hold up as well when you start examining some of the finer threads that make up the novel. Never-the-less, it moved me and made me feel lots of mushy gushy things. One ...

Spoiler Rating: High Finest Katie, I read Nina LaCour’s Hold Still shortly after my friend Jeff died, and the book utterly wrecked me. So of course when I learned that LaCour had written a YA lesbian romance, I . . . well, okay. I let it sit in my TBR list for two years. But now I’ve read it, ...

Who knows you well? Your best friend? Your boyfriend or girlfriend? A stranger you meet on a crazy night? No one, really? Mark and Kate have sat next to each other for an entire year, but have never spoken. For whatever reason, their paths outside of class have never crossed. That is until Kate spot...

Hissing Cousins by Marc Peyser and Timothy Dwyer: I picked up this double biography of Eleanor & Alice Roosevelt because, I mean, look at that tile! How could I not? It turned out to be (as far as I could judge) a well-researched and well-written look at the complex intertwining lives of these two c...

Oh dear Gods almighty, that main character was obnoxious. Poor me! Poor me! I'm 18, I'm a genius set designer, but no one sees my genius! Except for everyone on the sets of the major movies I'm working on! Poor me! My girlfriend has broken up with me 6 times and I think I might still want her...

This was an incredibly adorable novel, and I don't think there was a moment of unenjoyment when reading it. I loved all the characters, the non-issueness of the main character's sexuality, and the movie set aspects. They were probably my favourite part. Even though the premise and situations in this...

This is one of the most wonderful, perfect romances I have read in a long time. I loved this book from start to finish and by the end I was a blubbering mess of tears. It was that well written. I loved the LA setting, the inside look at how movies are made, and the characters were wonderful. The s...
