Well, I'm back with a review for another SD book and honestly, I can copy that review and paste it onto here. Sixteen-year-old Macy Queen is looking forward to a long, boring summer. Her boyfriend is going away. She's stuck with a dull-as-dishwater job at the library. And she'll spend all of her free time studying for the SATs or grieving silently with her mother over her father's recent unexpected death. But everything changes when Macy is corralled into helping out at one of her mother's open house events, and she meets the chaotic Wish Catering crew. Before long, Macy joins the Wish team. She loves everything about the work and the people. But the best thing about Wish is ...

       My Rating:            ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.25)      My Thoughts:     Hello book lovers and welcome back to my blog!     My goal is to slowly make my way through all of Sarah Dessen's books and I made progress after finish The Rest of the Story . It was very cute but also pretty heavy and serious.      Emma Saylor doesn’t remember a lot about her mother, who died when Emma was twelve. But she does remember the stories her mom told her about the big lake that went on forever, with cold, clear water and mossy trees at the edges.      Now it’s just Emma and her dad, and life is good, if a little predictable…until Emma is unexpectedly sent to spend the summer with her mother’s family that she hasn’t seen since she was a little girl.      When Emma arrives at North Lake, she realizes there are actually two very different communities there. Her mother grew up in working-c...

       My Rating:            ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5)      My Thoughts:     Hello readers and welcome back to my blog!     W ow. For a book that's quite short, it packed a big punch! I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately and I think this book helped me to get out of it. It was a quick read but very impactful.     We follow Will as he decided to avenge his brother's death by killing Shawn's killer. But Will was fifteen and had never shot a gun in his life. He was following The Rules that his brother told him and had been passed down.     #1 - No crying     #2 - No Snitching     #3 - Always Get Revenge     Finding the gun in his brother's clothes drawer, Will got on the elevator on Floor 7. He met an unexpected guest, Buck, on Floor 6. Buck, Will found out, was the guy who gave Shawn the gun. And that same gun was missing a bullet. The next floor down, a girl came...

     My Rating:            ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5)      My Thoughts:     Hello and welcome back to my blog!     I just finished Aurora   Burning  this morning and just....wow. I don't even know where to start. P.S. I will try to keep this as spoiler-free from Aurora Rising as possible but be warned...     Compared to Aurora Rising, I have to say I like this a lot more. They're both excellent but this book had such a grip on me from the beginning. And I was hooked throughout the rest of the story. Squad 312 was in a heap of trouble after what happened in Aurora Rising. They were still on the run and worse, they were now the galaxy's most wanted criminals.     With the Ra'haam growing in power and the GIA (Global Intelligence Agency...Earth's scary and corrupted governing authority) after them, the fate of the universe was left on Auri (jeez), the mysterious girl who was found in a spacesh...

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.75) My Thoughts:      I had such a fun time reading this book! After reading the synopsis, I was hooked. It sounded like such a cool concept and the book did not disappoint. Emmy and Oliver were childhood friends and they had a chance of becoming something more . But Oliver was kidnapped by his dad and now, ten years later, Oliver came back and it's a wild mess of pesty reporters and family drama. Old romances rekindled but Oliver wasn't the same seven-year-old boy who left anymore.      Emmy was one of the main characters (hence the name of the book) and while she wasn't the one kidnapped, her whole life was affected by it. She grew up watching reporters and police come and go, but none was able to find Oliver. She spent ten years hoping—like everybody else—that he would come back home. But the tragedy left her parents shocked and extremely overprotective. Emmy knew her parents wouldn't consent to her surfing, but she loved it. She love...
