As always with a Becky Albertalli book, I flew through it. I haven’t read an entire book in a night in quite a long time, but I felt compelled to keep going even though it got pretty late. And then I figured I might as well just finish it. No regrets here! A good time was had. I do think this is my least favorite of her three books, so far, though. Surprisingly, it has nothing to do with Leah herself. Leah is a tough […]

A Power Unbound by Freya Marske Ah, the first of the many, many books that I was going to read on vacation. Which I finished on December 13th, with my vacation having start on (checks) November 18th. Excellent, excellent, I am SO glad to be moving to a new job that respects the idea of holidays… The final and largely satisfying end to the The Last Binding triology set in a regency(?) England which is so very queer, the pieces that have been slowly moving […]
“I don’t know if we’re in a love story or a story about love…”
What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera
“I believe in love at first sight. Fate, the universe, all of it. But not how you’re thinking. I don’t mean it in the our souls were split and you’re my other half forever and ever sort of way. I just think you’re meant to meet some people. I think the universe nudges them into your path.” Arthur is staying in New York for the summer while interning at his mom’s law office. While out getting coffee one day, he runs into the boy of […]
Rainbow Rowell may have ruined me, but I’m not mad
They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera
Last year was really the first time I read any YA books as an adult, aside from the first Harry Potter book my dad bought me for Christmas twenty years ago. Maybe I’ve just had a string of bad luck. Maybe I’m too much of a literary fiction snob (GAC) to get the same kind of enjoyment out of YA. Or maybe Rainbow Rowell, and to a lesser degree, Becky Albertalli, spoiled me for everyone else since their books resonated so deeply with me. I […]
What If It’s Me
What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli & Adam Silvera
I have to preface this review by saying that I haven’t read anything by either Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera though I did watch (and enjoy) Love, Simon. The premise of this YA novel is cute as is its origin story. The two authors didn’t know each other but their debut novels were sold and published at about the same time and they connected and bonded over e-mail and social media. They decided soon after to collaborate on a novel and this is the result. […]
More secrets from the Creekwood gang
I’m still three reviews behind, so I’ll get right to it with this one. Having read and loved Becky Albertalli’s Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda earlier this year, I figured I may as well read the follow-up, Leah on the Offbeat, especially since it was one of the few finalists for the 2018 Goodreads Awards that I already owned. The whole gang from Simon is back for senior year, and Simon’s long-time best friend Leah gets to tell her own story. The title is […]
