• Author Highlight: Rachel Lynn Solomon

  Our next author highlight is Rachel Lynn Solomon whose books tackle complex emotions with emphasis on personal development entwined with spiritual faith in some cases. Which sounds really sophiscated but I love how she is able to blend heavy topics into typical YA rom-coms. My library only had three of her books, and one which…

• Extras Review

  Three years after Tally unleashed the mind-rain, Japan is running on a reputation econnomy. Whether you’re a neofoodie, techhead, mangahead, reputation bomber or kicker, you gain money and privileges based on your face ranking. Basically, Westerfeld predicted influencers and people being paid because they’re instagram/tiktok famous. Decades before it happened! Amazing and really surreal. Aya…

• Specials Review

  We’re back to square one, sort of. Tally is once again brainwashed after surgery but this time she’s not another one of the bubblehead pretties but a special, a superhuman soldier with fangs, ultra-senses and titanium skeleton. Basically the world’s deadliest weapon and an enforcer of Dr. Cable to keep moore of the Smokies’ cure…

• Pretties Review

  Where we last left Tally, she bravely sacrificed her mind to become pretty, knowing at the opportune time, David and the others would give her the potential cure so they can see if it will really work and spread their message across PrettyTown.

• Uglies Review

  In a world where everyone is ugly until they turn sixteen, everyone is equal. After all, people in the past used to be so prejudiced. Fighting wars over race, giving unfair privileges to those who happen to be prettier or taller or more attractive even if they’re unqualified. From there, humanity realized its flaws and…

• There’s Something About Sweetie Review

  We bring things back to the Patal family about two years later with Ashish Patel suffering through the throes of the worst kind of hurt, heartbreak. Celia cheated on him and it seems his mojo is lost for good. He can’t flirt, can’t play basketball and he can’t even work up his Ash-smolder. Worse is…

• From Twinkle, With Love Review

  This epistoloary novel is made up of letters from Twinkle to her favorite female directors like Ava Duv, Mira Nair, Nora Ephron etc. (they’re more diary entries than letters really) that immediately bring readers up to speed to who Twinkle Mehra is. A junior in high school, Twinkle dreams of becoming a film-maker and despite…

• Juicy Drama Series

  I love a good juicy drama, backstabbing, high fashion, television, that’s how I got into reading and now I feel compelled to share it with everyone on the internet. Even as it painfully dates me to an early 2000s girl (the best era, let’s be honest), and most of these are from the now unfortunately…
