A Bit Slow, But Still a Brilliant Sequel

MY THOUGHTS I enjoyed the first book in this series, so I was excited to finally dive into this sequel! This book does have middle book syndrome, so it's very slow-paced, but I still enjoyed it! This book takes place shortly after the events...

Another Great Dystopian

MY THOUGHTS If you're expecting a sequel to The Giver, you will be very disappointed. The two books are completely unrelated to one another. Just think of this book has another dystopian and you will enjoy it more. This book focuses on Kira. She's a young...

Unique, Beautiful, and Tragic

Absolutely Brilliant!!

MY THOUGHTS I've been seeing this book around for awhile, but it just didn't really interest me. Mostly due to the fact that it takes place during a war. One day, I decided to read the synopsis again and saw: "She must disguise herself as a...

Realistic, Engaging Read on a Controversial Subject

MY THOUGHTS After reading How to Love, I needed to read another book by Katie Cotugno! I didn't find this book quite as beautiful as How to Love, but I still found this book very engaging! Molly Barlow has one big regret that no one will...

Not as Good as The Selection, but a Great Start to a New Series

MY THOUGHTS I admit, The Selection series is one of my guilty pleasures, so I was excited to read this spin-off. It wasn't as amazing as The Selection series, mostly because I can't ship anything yet, but this was a really great start to another series! ...

Always Read the Fine Print

MY THOUGHTS A dystopian book with a plot based on how no one reads the fine print, and now they either die or become assassins. Who reads the fine print, right? No one does, I don't, so a dystopian based on this is very interesting. ...
