I really liked the concept of this book! Brynn been recently hurt by her ex husband and doesn't know if she'll ever feel safe loving again. She finds solace and escape in her favourite teen show (based on an amalgamation of shows from the 90s/aughts but heavily inspired by Dawson's Creek). She loves the way everything works out the way it's meant to in the show. On her birthday she makes a wish that goes wrong and ends up in the show standing in for the main character, and her roommate Josh is stuck in the shows world with her too. Neither of them can go home until Brynn gives the main character ( Sloan) the ending she deserved after the.shows cliffhanger ending.


I think this book had a great mix of fun and introspection. I liked the reflection on how maybe some things from the show didn't age well, and the realization that just because everything worked out for the main characters didn't mean that everyone else was happy. The concept of the book was fun, the romance was a bit rushed but it was sweet. All in all I'd definitely recommend this book for a light romcom especially if you're a fan of CW style teen shows!

I love all Awaeke Emezis books that I've read and this one is probably my favourite. I love chaotic and stressf l stories about the darkness inside of people and this book was definitely that. Will need to sit on this more before writing a full review.

I've really enjoyed all of Iain Reid's books, I don't know why it's taken me so long to read this. Hope he writes a new book soon. I love surrealism. This book was truly scary for me because I (like most people, I think) am pretty scared of growing old and losing autonomy.

I really enjoyed this one, but it wasn't notable. Toby learning about his true heritage is amazing and I'm so excited to see where we go with that info, but the rest of the story was just ok.

I really liked Perfume & Pain so I decided to read Anna Dorns other books. Vagablonde was a lot of fun, but still had a good amount of heart. I liked the unlikely friendship between Prue and Yumiko. The two books I've read so far have had similar vibes without just being copies. I really enjoy books about messy unlikeable women so this works for me. I'm looking forward to reading Exalted.

A difficult one to review. Very dark and difficult to read but I loved the more critical narration and the style of the book.

This has been on my list for a while. It was definitely a very dark (and potentially triggering to many people) story, but I loved it. It was both relatable and extremely unrelatable at the same time. At its root it's about lonely, abused, traumatized people who don't know how to be functioning members of society. A lot of sadness.

This is probably the most mature book I've read in the animorph series so far. It didn't even really feel like I was reading a middle grade book honestly. It was incredibly dark and sad, I really loved the way it explores the horrors of war and violence and oppression. There was so much going on and even a beautiful love story. A true masterpiece tbh

I was a big fan of Cursed Bunny, so I was excited to read Your Utopia. Yet I kept putting it off. There were stories in here that I absolutely loved but there were also quite a few misses for me. It wasn't the 5 star every story is a winner kinda experience I had with Cursed Bunny. There was definitely still more than enough in here to be worth the read though.

The End Of The Voyage was so much fun and a really unique take on two common tropes.

Maria, Gratia Plena was beautiful and so sad.

A Song For Sleep was my favourite story, I just loved it.

Seed was my other favourite and it was hard to choose between this one and A Song For Sleep as my top pick. Such a sad but also funny and unique story.

To Meet Her was also a very good story, I loved the protagonist.

Your Utopia, A Very Ordinary Marriage, & The Center For Immortality Research were the three that just didn't really work for me.

This collection was a lot more focused on SciFi which I love but I did wish there was more horror as well. Definitely excited to see what Bora Chung puts out next, I think I remember seeing a novel in the works but I don't see it listed anywhere now so I'm not sure.

Just not for me
