Two things, before I dive into the meat of this review. One, this is the first YA Contemporary book that I've read in about a year so I'm coming into this with fresh eyes. It's entirely possible that has also biased me to love this book, so let's get that out of the way before anything else. Two, al...
You Were Here is the heartbreaking story of love, friendship and hardest of all, loss. The feelings are deep and the characters are very real in this book. I loved each character and found what they were going through true to teenagers today. Jaycee has been a daredevil ever since she lost her ol...
I received a copy from Netgalley. I got this through one of those read now for the first 500 member emails. I must admit I went into it knowing very little about it, other than a glance at the blurb. Unfortunately, this book was not for me at all. Just didn't like it. The story did nothing for me an...
[I received a copy of this book from NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.]An OK read, but one that ultimately didn't leave much of an impression on me.It seemd interesting at first—although, as usual in such cases, I don't really see the point of having a first person narrative for one chara...
What initially attracted me to this novel was the fact that it described accounts of urban exploration. From an artistic and architectural point of view, I think urban exploration is a fascinating and intriguing albeit dangerous sport; and I was truly interested in seeing how its highly sensorial el...
Best part, Mik and Zack. Hands down.You Were Here wasn’t exactly what I expected it to be. First, it jumped around with POV’s, which I didn’t expect. It was also made up of art, and graphic novel pages, which I didn’t expect either. I ended up really liking it though, which was good since I was nerv...
I pursued answers. I had found a story that had its merits but I felt that the story was dragging itself out and just didn’t work for me. The story centered on a few major issues and I just needed them answered to clear my head. Solving these issues would solidify the type of characters others per...
#YOUWEREHERE 4 STARS AVAILABLE 3/1/16 @CoriMcCarthy @Sourcebooks When I first started reading this, I thought definitely a YA book due to the amount of teenage angst. However, the farther I got along, I realized that it would also appeal to adults as as the angst became less and the matters sta...
This story of a group of people broken by the careless death of one boy will pul you in and not let go. I was unsure about this for the first 20%. It was a sad tale of a traumatized teenage girl who watched her older brother die, lives with her crumbling family, risks her life almost daily and dista...
