"This book was truly one of my favorite books I've ever read, if not my #1. It follows a love story that is a classic and it is both heartbreaking and endearing. This author writes in a way that you truly feel everything that her characters feel. She explains their love story and their tragic journey in such a painful but beautiful way. This book also brings attention and sheds light onto the LGBTQ+ community, which is a huge part of our current society. Everything about this book is beautiful. 10000/10 recommend."

"A thrilling YA mystery brought together beautifully with elements of Indigenous culture. Drug investigation, undercover cops, murder, and main character Daunis seems to be at the center of it all. She must navigate all her complicated relationships with everyone to 'root out the corruption in her community.'"

"I started reading this book because I wanted to learn more about Munchausen’s by Proxy and was definitely drawn in. The book switches by chapter between the mother’s point of view and the daughter’s (Rose Gold). It moves around in the timeline in a very interesting way, and gives you insights to both the past and present at the same time. I’d highly recommend if you’re interested in Munchausen’s by Proxy and an unexpected twist! Content warnings: emotional abuse, parental abuse, discussion of eating habits/food"

"This book really highlights what it is like being a black woman in medicine. As a  pre-med student I felt that this was great insight on how interact with patients. Moreover, this novel shows there is in fact a beauty in breaking. The author depicts her journey to self healing and understanding and highlights how her interactions with others throughout her personal and professional life impacted her growth."

"Everything you hope for when reading speculative fiction! Set against the backdrop of a fictional Oxford in in the 19th century, Kuang creates a world that struggles with similar themes in our own present day. My favorite aspect of the book dealt with the topic of identity: Who am I? What do I represent? Who do I represent? How do I fit into a world where I'm not supposed to fit? I loved this book, and I feel that the characters will stay with me for a very long time."

"An unconventional book taking place in the 22nd century, where humans and humanoids (lab-grown humans, but not quite) work together on a space ship. What's so interesting to me about this book is the format: the book is written in the perspective of the higher-ups in charge of the ship, documenting worker productivity though a series of interviews. The recent discovery of alien life affected them all, which makes the book and the interviews even more interesting. This book definitely whet my appetite for sci-fi."

"This was a wonderful follow up to the first book It Ends with Us. However, I found it to be very underwhelming. The story was given great details and background. The love that Atlas and Lily share is beautiful. I love the she showcases how real and often domestic violence occurs. The book just ends very expected. There are many unanswered questions and it is quite a short read. I am satisfied to know the ending was as expected, but it could have been deeper in the end. It felt rushed and simple."

"A beautiful story of the love of a couple in the face of grief and loss. Rosenthal conveys his deep love for his late wife Amy, and the events of their falling in love, raising children together, navigating terminal illness, and life after Amy. His writing was funny at times, but also deeply sad in other times. This story would be a comfort to those grieving a loss of a loved one, and a wonderful picture of making meaning of a loss while allowing yourself to continue living after they are gone."

"A book about the voice in our head, how it affects us, and how we can better manage it. This book was informative, with several helpful tips and anecdotes. It was a little longer than I think it needed to be, but overall, it was a beneficial read. As a counselor, I would definitely recommend it to clients who were struggling with anxiety or rumination. The science was explained in layman's terms, with metaphors and anecdotes to aid in understanding."

"Such a good read ! Going into this book I didnt have much knowledge about the interaction between Native Americans and the fracking industry. This book showed me how this industry unproportionately affects indigenous peoples, especially those who live on reservations. Toni is an excellent writer who educates while also keeping the interest of her readers. Sometimes I had to re-read a paragraph a few times to understand (Toni frequently uses metaphors and connections to previously mentioned subjects) the full meaning of the writing, but once I fully understand it was extremely impactful.

"An autobiographical on the author's life, as she pays off her student loans by working in the oil business. This story made me reflect on greater ideas like capitalism, sexism, and the destruction of the environment and the First Nation's land-- all while being mundanely realistic (and I mean this in a good way). A sobering read.

I may add, there are instances of implied of sexual assault. If that's something to avoid, don't read this."

"Loved everything Frankenstein's monster had to say, loved the dialogue between Frankenstein and the monster, loved the connections to Paradise Lost, enjoyed the description of Victor's emotions, as well as the affect the very detailed environments had towards the overall mood of the novel.

Did not like how much filler there seemed to be, especially in regards to the description of the environment/setting. I don't think the letters in the beginning of the novel are interesting, and I just thought there was quite a bit in the novel that wasn't really necessary. There were many parts where I consistently checked the page number.

Overall, the novel is worth reading, however if I could cut out a bunch of paragraphs, I would."

"This book was a slowly unfolding mystery that left me with my jaw dropped at the end. Lisa Jewell does an amazing job at hinting towards something being a little off, without telling you why or how. There is never a dull or boring moment within this story and I couldn't put it down. The main character is very likable and you can't help but be on her side. Amazing read."
