TEENS! IN! SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

The Disasters by M. K. England

June 20, 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos Leave a Comment

Got in juuuuuust under the wire with this one! Another #CannonBookClub pick, another book I probably wouldn’t have picked up without being told to do so! Fortunately, it was fast-paced, warm-hearted, just dangerous enough hold me in suspense, and (last but not least) cute. The basic set up is, well, pretty basic: misfit teens up against their own social structure and a corrupt regulatory force in a race against time to stop the big bad thing from being big and bad.

I look at Nicholas and realize I am actually marrying this man. Forty percent because I love him […]

Now he is faced with making yet another new group of friends in another new school, and to make matters worse, that school is a Catholic one. Michael is an atheist, and he has no interest in setting down any roots lest they be ripped back out again. But on the first day of school, he is […]
