I Who Have Never Known Men
This book is SO good. Recommendation from a dear friend and it did not disappoint! I cannot believe this book is not more popular than it is. This story left me with more questions at the end than when I started but it really made me think about how I would be and act in her situation. I will definitely be recommending this book to others!!
Disney Twisted-Wonderland: The Manga – Book of Heartslabyul, Vol. 4
Final installment on the Heartslaybul dorm! Loved the ending and the low key message to get help for childhood trauma? Well done manga series! Will be reading the next ones soon! Great for kids!!
Disney Twisted-Wonderland, Vol. 3
Short and sweet manga. Great for kids! Love seeing these characters come to life in the new adaptation on Disney as well.
The Housemaid
Oh my goodness, this book had me on the edge of my seat until the end! I love mysteries, but feel I usually figure it out by the end of the book. Not the case with Freida’s books, I’m always surprised! The housemaid series has been my favorite of all of her books
The Summer I Turned Pretty
A sweet, simple read. An easy early teen read. I watched the show first, and was pleasantly surprised by the equal sweetness of the books!
Caught Up
It took me some time to get into the second book of this series but once the story line picked up, then I couldn\’t put it down. I feel like the first one was my favorite but Lauren and Nico grew on me. I did like that Josh and Aly did make appearances throughout the book though. Book is very spicy and explores different kinks at a club named velvet. Overall worth the read and ready for the third!
That\’s a Great Question, I\’d Love to Tell You
Funny and lighthearted read
Hunted
Beginning was off to a rough start, but the farther in the better
salt slow
Some of the short stories included in this book were extremely memorable, others were not. All of them were extremely creative, though.
Patricia Wants to Cuddle
I had fun listening to this story, but I don’t think it will stick with me. I didn’t enjoy how much time was spent building up to the main plot. I also did not realize initially that this book is classified as horror, and unfortunately it also missed the mark for me in that department. The gore felt like it was included just to keep the story in the horror genre, but it didn’t further the plot or invoke the sense of dread one would normally feel when reading horror (at least in my opinion).
The Haunting of Velkwood
One of the best books I’ve read this year by far. Such a beautiful story. The haunting sadness in this book will stick with me for a very long time.
All\’s Fair in Love and Field Hockey
This book was cute and kept my interest, but I don’t believe it will be very memorable. It was a nice quick read, though!
