Sometimes you just need a nostalgic read. I was pleasantly surprised to learn Disney actually stuck close to the source material for once! A great read for the Peter Pan fans. 

What a fun and somewhat lighthearted read, despite it's sad overall storyline. I really enjoyed GUP - Gay Uncle Pat - and all he did for the kiddos! 

Holy smokes - what a read. So many characters and twists. I thought i had it figured out and then WHAM - plot twist.  Definitely recommend. 

There's nothing wrong with this book, but it didn't wow me. It was just ..okay. 

So much happened in this book - it starts as a mystery/suspense/crime novel and turns into a romance by the end. Yet somehow - it works! I did find the character of Mandy a little bit unsympathetic. I get the heartbreak but girl - be nice. 

The idea was there. The execution was not - the ending makes NO sense.  It kinda felt like there was a word limit, and it just....stopped? 

Supernatural in book form - specifically the seasons with angels and demons.  Not a ton of character development but it's also 136 pages so that's not surprising. 

Well - that was deep. Gave me some Handmaid's Tale meets Hunger Games vibes - government oversteps, does stupid shit, puts people into factions, etc.  The sad part is - this is absolutely something that could happen today, just not with young blood. 

This one is very thought provoking. Dystopian - MC comes back to earth, expecting it to be empty, but it's not. 

Dead 😂 - honestly gives Finlay Donovan vibes. Just the most unhinged possible scenario and characters.
