I will say, first and foremost, this book is not for everyone. I had a very fierce argument with a friend about it a few years back, because she was simply unable to get through the first few chapters. She thought the main character to be annoying, obtuse, inappropriate and ungrateful, and furthermo...
I really enjoyed this book. I was a bit leery at first because I tend to avoid YA - I just can't deal with all the misplaced and overblown angst - but I'm really glad I stuck with this one. It's definitely super angsty, and sometimes you just wanted to grab Andi and shake her - not to mention her fr...
Actual rating is 2.5This had been a tough read for me - almost to the point of giving up. I checked the reviews and some people said the same thing. I'm proud to have endured and finished though. I had been thinking what is it that put people off so they end up putting the book down. Personally, the...
Gorgeous writing, magnetically compelling relationship, lovely story of self-discovery. The historical and musical elements make this incredibly rich storytelling.

I am still amazed at how much I am thinking about the characters and what they went through. Their feelings were s...
Revolution is one of those rare books that both adults and teens can read and still see how wonderful it is.I usually have a hunch when it comes to buying books published before 2011 and almost always get it right. Back then, the YA community was still trying to find a firm ground and there weren’t...
I had great hopes for this book - the blurb seemed A+ and I do love anything involving time travel - but although it started off great, I grew tired of it by 3/4 of the way through. I didn't particular care for the romance (Virgil was great, it just felt a little shoehorned in) and I was there had b...
