This debut, angsty, YA novel is based on the music video of Kiyoko's song, Girls Like Girls.
It's summertime and 17 year old Coley is new in town, having just lost her mother. She's dealing with reconnecting with her father who she hasn't seen in 14 years.
When she meets Sonya, it's instant attraction, but is Sonya ready to admit her feelings?
This book deals with several hard hitting topic. Coley and her father's blossoming relationship was heartwarming.
My main critique is that it was too short as I felt like some things could have been explored more.
All in all an excellent debut, looking forward to more of Kiyoko's work.

This is a Ike Anya's memoir about how he became a doctor in Nigeria in the 1990s.
This memoir was very informative and gives us insight into the unique issues facing the Nigerian healthcare system at the time, both financial and cultural (eg. language barriers).

In this second chance, sapphic romance, teenaged Samira, raised by her widowed, father, a conservative politician goes to Tasmania for a summer journalism course, where she meets Alex.
Passion ignites, but it soon falls apart leaving them both wounded. Then one year later their paths cross again...
I loved the premise of this both, but unfortunately I felt it lacked depth, therefore I found it boring.
