Review: The Here and Now – Ann Brashares

Review: The Here and Now ̵..

I kept waffling on whether it not I wanted to read this book. I’m not always a fan of time travel books, but I’m a fan of parallel life books and they sometimes can be the same. And I was a fan of All Our Yesterdays so I took a chance. Sadly this is one of those times that my gamble didn’t pay off. Basically I was really disappointed in this story and I was disappointed for 2 reasons which I’ll explain shortly. The Here and Now is the story of Prenna, a girl from another time that has traveled […]

Review: Reboot – Amy Tintera

Review: Reboot – Amy Tin..

I bought Reboot a while ago and like most books, I actually forgot I had it. It wasn’t until I started seeing chatter about its sequel Rebel that I remembered and was finally inspired to read it. And once again I was happy to have done it. Reboot was more than I expected. It was action packed and had a great romance and a great dystopian feel. It was an entertaining read with great characters and a pleasure to read. Reboot is a dystopian novel mainly about Wren, a 17-year-old girl that was killed when she was 12 and rebooted […]
