I became a late fan of Ruth Ware’s after reading The Death of Mrs. Westaway, so I picked up this one as well. Sadly, the ends didn’t make the means for me. The Turn of the Key starts off with Rowan. She’s currently imprisoned for the murder of a little girl that she was taking…

I recently received a copy of Frankly in Love to help promote the book before its release. So of course, I read it because what responsible blogger doesn’t read the book they’re promoting. Turns out, it was better than I thought it was going to be. Frank Li is looking for a girlfriend. It’s the…

I went into reading this book imagining it was going to be the Lord of the Flies for girls, but it’s really not close to Lord of the Flies aside from the fact they’re quarantined to an island for 18 months with no idea if they’ll ever get off. Here’s more about Wilder Girls: I’m…

Captain’s Log Stardate: 07122019 Ok, I’m just being a little silly there, but I love my little reading updates. I feel like I can disappear for a week and then come back and be like “what’s up, here’s what happened to me this week and why my blog’s been so silent.” This week, I was…

I saw so many people post about Recursion over the past few weeks that I knew I needed to read this book ASAP and share my thoughts on it. Hyped books worry me sometimes because when a ton of people like the book, it sets your expectations much higher than you would have if there…
