Moxie: Spoiler Free Review
I’m so excited to bring you all my book of the month review for Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu! I really enjoyed this book, but more importantly, I really wish it had existed for me in high school. I’m going to try so hard to not wander off on tangents about the importance of Title IX…

The Windfall: A Spoiler Free Review
First of all, I’m so proud of this picture so I really need you all to fawn over my photography skills for me (even though it’s not at all technically great). Secondly, this book was fascinating.

Anyway, enough disclaimers/excuses: TO THE REVIEW!…

Hate to Want You by Alisha Rai Book Talk
I thought I didn’t like second chance tropes, but turns out I just really don’t like them when they’re done poorly or the lead reminds me of my ex-boyfriend. What I’m say is that I went into Hate to Want You a little nervous and then I LOVED it so much. So if you’re putting…
