Vile Stars – Sera Milano

There are few things in life that cause as much pain as burying a parent, well before their time and during the part of life where your parent is who guides you most and is the provider of unconditional love. There are few things in life that make your stomach swoop and heart race as

Heartbreak Boys – Simon James Green

The Extraordinaries – TJ Klune

How do you get the attention of an Extraordinary when you are simply a bit extra? The Extraordinaries is a wonderfully clever story about superheroes, friendship and discovering that sometimes the things we want most in life are actually much more within reach than we thought.

Reverie by Ryan La Sala

Kane Montgomery can’t remember how he ended up sitting in a river, how the car he was driving ended up crashing into (and exploding) the old mill or even who his friends are, if he has any. In an effort to piece together what happened, Kane, and his sister Sophia return to the scene of

Knock Knock – Chris Merritt

 Knock Knock – Chris Merritt Detective Inspector Dan Lockhart has seen his fair share of dead bodies in his life, as both a military man and as a police officer, so seeing the body of Natasha Mayston should not be all too surprising. Except Dan has seen this exact MO before, months prior the body

Bad Girls With Perfect Faces – Lynn Weingarten

With just enough substance to fill out a single Netflix episode, Bad Girls with Perfect Faces left a lot to be desired in terms of being a satisfying read. Lack of world building, unique character voice and plot holes the size of a Volkswagon are contributing factors to this teen novel falling a bit flat. Sasha has exactly one best friend in

Such A Fun Age – Kiley Reid

I need to preface this entire review with this- I am like, white bread to the power of a million so I was a bit nervous to review this because one of the main themes of the book is race and I would hate to offend any people of colour due to my unintentional ignorance.

The Wives – Tarryn Fisher

Lord above we really wanted to love this. When Kylie and I were discussing which book we wanted to review for our first monthly review we agreed we wanted ideally a recent release. This one jumped out to me as the blurb sounded good so I think we can safely agree we went into this feeling like

Beautiful on the Outside – Adam Rippon

So, here we go, biographies aren’t my thing. I pride myself on reading anything and everything but if I had to pick something that didn’t really do it for me, biographies are fairly close to the bottom of my list. I just find them a bit much. My favourite type of famous person is those
