Cursed Bread
Sophie Mackintosh
Sooo weird and unpredictable, if I had to sum it up "be gay, do crime."
The Passing Playbook
Isaac Fitzsimons
Overall it was an enjoyable read with moments that made me smile and cry!
Mooncakes
Wendy Xu and Suzanne Walker
Overall a perfect read for autumn and recommend if you’re looking for a magical witchy/werewolf romance!
She Gets the Girl
Rachael Lippincott and Alyson Derrick
A sweet, feel good sapphic romance that doesn’t revolve around coming out which is always a nice change.
Red, White, & Royal Blue
Casey McQuiston
Overall it was a cute feel good story, but I think I had too high expectations because it’s such a hyped book so I felt a little let down.
Matrix
Lauren Groff
Highly recommend if you like stories about powerful women challenging that status quo (especially in the world of religion)!
I Kissed Shara Wheeler
Casey McQuiston
I just absolutely adored this novel and it’ll definitely be a favorite for 2023!
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Taylor Jenkins Reid
This one just wasn’t worth the hype to me. I enjoyed Daisy Jones so I’m willing to read more from TJR that I’ll hopefully enjoy more than this one.
Sawkill Girls
Claire Legrand
Highly recommend this YA horror novel, even if you don't typically enjoy horror like me.
Girl, Woman, Other
Bernardine Evaristo
A uniquely, wonderful novel that blew me away once I got past the different writing style.
Under the Udala Trees
Chinelo Okparanta
I’ll be recommending this to everyone and rated it a full 5 stars!
Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls
T Kira Madden
If I had to rate this book I’d give it 4.5 stars and suggest everyone read it (but only if you feel comfortable given there are a lot of dark topics).
Things a Bright Girl Can Do
Sally Nichols
It was a nice plot and a quick read but overall I was disappointed and left wanting more from the story.
