Thank you Ecco Books and BiblioLifestyle for the gifted copy of How Does That Make You Feel, Magda Eklund?  All opinions in this review are my own.

I wanted to read this book because while it primarily deals with grief, it is also a story about friendship and travel.  Once Magda starts on her road trip that her best friend planned for them before she died, the story picks up and I like how the author included letters from Sara in between to explain why she wanted to go to these places.  My only complaint is that it takes about 50 pages for Magda to get started and since it is a book on the shorter side, it felt like it took awhile to get going.  However, once it does, it is a sweet story about friendship and discovering yourself!

Thank you Harper Muse and BiblioLifestyle for the gifted copy of The Starlets!  All opinions in this review are my own.

Vivienne Rhodes is under the impression that she just landed her first big role, but when Lottie Lawrence reveals that she is actually the lead role and Vivienne has been recast to a secondary character.  When the two women discover that the crew is really using the movie as a front, they must go on the run and try to work together to survive.

This book was so much fun to read!  Not only is there the on-set drama between Vivienne and Lottie but then it becomes a run for their lives stories as they must travel across Europe and outsmart the corrupt cops who are chasing after them.  My favorite part is when they have to figure out a way to get out of the Monte Carlo casino when all of the exits are blocked!

Thank you Sourcebooks Landmark and NetGalley for the eARC of The Most Famous Girl in the World!  All opinions in this review are my own.

Honestly, my head is still whirling from this book.  While the characters are mostly unlikable, they go on the wildest of rides in this book.  I know some people are angry about the epilogue, but to be honest, I feel like it fit the rest of the book's chaotic nature.  I can't wait to see what else this author has to offer!

Thank you Flatiron Books and NetGalley for the eARC of The Cautious Traveller's Guide to the Wastelands.  All opinions in this review are my own.

I thought this book was going to be more like a fantasy version of Murder on the Orient Express mixed with a train ride across the Fold from Shadow & Bone.  The beginning was kind of slow and it didn't include as much fantasy as I thought it would.  However, it did pick up in the second half and it was good, but unfortunately, it just took too long to get there.
