Please see trigger warnings before reading this, it may be a very triggering book for many. Though I didn't grow up watching iCarly or Sam and Cat I knew about the show's and has heard about this novel via tiktok. I want to wrap Jennette in a hug and punch her mom in the face at the same time. No one should have to deal with the shit she grew up with. I am so glad she is able to use her voice and tell her story, hopefully this will allow others in similar situations to find their voices! I loved that Jennette read the audio book, this allowed it to truly feel like a conversation with a friend!

I was fortunate enough to receive an audio ARC of Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake via netgalley. I found this book to be a cheesy, adorable, light hearted read. Overall, I enjoyed the book -- it was slightly predictable but in a good way. I enjoyed listening to how Lizzie and Rake take on everything that happens causing their lives to spiral out of control. I like how the author didn't shy away from Lizzie's ADHD but also provided a good representation of it.
First off, that dedication made my heart so happy. It was just so sweet!
I received an ARC copy of this book and I am grateful I did, I loved it. The poetry hit right in the feels, it was a wonderfully beautiful, powerful read. I loved the mix and match of the different lengths, the emotions that were shown, and the power behind the words.

I was gifted a copy of Frozen Hearts and Death Magic and by Day Leitao an exchange for an honest review.
Frozen Hearts and Death Magic is a multiple-pov ya fantasy novel with its own magical system. It is a fantastically written interwoven story that just keeps the reader on their toes. I loved the fact that we (the readers) get to see what is happening through the eyes of each of the main characters (Leah, Fel, Naia, and River). I also love how the past is so entwined with the main characters current lives, and how much it impacts everything they're going through.
Sidenote: I dispise the Ironhold's so much, that family is just horrible!! Just so much about them enrages me.
I am looking forward to book two in the duology.

As an individual obsessed with owls I knew I'd have a special spot for this lovely novel. Much like Griffin's first novel I am absolutely in love with this book. It was an amazingly addicting novel full off adventure, love, animals, magic, trust, and so much more.
