Asterisks indicate my favourite ones.

*Silver and Gold by Natasha Ngan – 5 stars! This was so good! The spider squid sounded absolutely terrifying and I never want to see anything like that. I really enjoyed the characters and loved how they played off each other.

*Five Stars by Amy Spalding – Just like the title says – 5 stars! So so so good! I love Amy Spalding and this was so funny 😂😂😂 I would’ve died and also grabbed anything to possibly defend myself. I totally understand being too anxious to say anything. Represent!

Unfortunately, Blobs Do Not Eat Snacks by Rebecca Kim Well – 4 stars. MAGES, MAGE SCHOOL. I did like this. I didn’t like the whole confessing things under influence. I know thats the trope… But I dont like it. I wouldve starred it 3 but magic!

Edges by Ashley Herring Blake – 3 stars. Cute but not enough to capture me and interest me much.


*What Makes Us Heroes by Julian Winters – 5 stars! I mean, Julian Winters, so of course. It was all so cute and I more than likely squealed my way through it all.

*And by Hannah Moskowitz – 5 stars. Really really cute!!! Such a soft introduction into polyam and a natural change from 2 in a relationship to 3. And also, yes, that love triangle resulted in polyam because yes!! Those typical love triangles in books aren’t even proper love triangles!

My Best Friend’s Girl by Sara Farizan – 2 stars. I didn’t like the characters. I didn’t like the plot either. Hal was a weak character and I sort of didn’t believe he could be a hero? Like his character just didn’t fit the personality – superhero or ‘normal’. And not like the usual ‘oh the superhero isn’t a superhero once they’re not in costume’ – no, that’s totally different.

(Fairy) Like Attracts Like by Claire Kann – 1 star. I struggled to get through this. Glad this was a short story. I couldn’t get into the story and had no connections to the characters. The story makes no sense as well?


These Strings by Lilliam Rivera – 2 stars. I’m all for girls doing what they wanna do. It’s not 3 stars because I didn’t like the language – the narration and writing.

*The Passover Date by Laura Silverman – 5 stars. This was so super cute! It’s a little… CHEESY but that’s exactly why I liked it. Silverman does it again!!

Bloom by Rebecca Barrow – 1 star. It was very confusing, especially as this is a short story so you wouldnt expect to find so much world-building here


*Teed Up by Gloria Chao – I know absolutely zero about golf (because I find it really boring lol) but this was absolutely 5 stars and gorgeous!! I loved the discussion about pressure, especially from your parents, and I think even more when you’re a woc in a very male-dominated area.

I love Liam. He was so nice and proud of Sunny and wanted her to succeed – but ONLY if it’s what she actually wanted.

*Boys Noise by Mason Deaver – 5 stars!! So so good!! I love boy band books and this one was so so good! I loved it so much!

*Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Malinda Lo – 5 stars! So so sweet!! Loved the characters 😌😌

Disaster by Rebecca Podos – 2 stars. I liked the concept but it wasn’t written well enough for me to go wow and everything.
