We Used To Be Friends by Amy Spalding tackles a topic that I don’t see often in fiction — friend breakups. I’ve experienced a few friend breakups, and this book hits all the right notes. Kat and James have been best friends since kindergarten, and had what seemed like an unbreakable friendship until senior yearRead More
Danika reviews Full Disclosure by Camryn Garrett
Full Disclosure is about Simone, a teenager who’s been HIV positive since birth. Her dads have done their best to make sure she has the best possible life, and as long as she takes her medication every day, her day-to-day isn’t much different from her peers.

Bee reviews I am Out With Lanterns by Emily Gale
I often see people complaining that there is no WLW equivalent to Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. I’m not really sure what the complaint is about: the popularity of the books? The tone? The content? The writing? I think that what people mean when they say this is that they areRead More
Danika reviews Her Royal Highness by Rachel Hawkins
If you’re looking for a fun f/f YA romcom, this is the perfect fit. I’ve been on a bit of an audiobook slump lately. I am very picky when it comes to audiobooks: they have to have the right narrator, and an interesting enough plot to pull me in, but it also has to beRead More
Danika reviews The Stars and the Blackness Between Them by Junauda Petrus
It’s the classic story: girl meets granddaughter of pastor, girls falls in love, girls get caught and sent away to separate countries. That is only the beginning, though. Audre loves her Trinidad home, and she is heartbroken to leave it–and her love, and her friends, and her family–behind. Her grandmother assures her that Spirit livesRead More
Danika reviews Of Ice and Shadows by Audrey Coulthurst
Has it really been three years since I fell in love with Of Fire and Stars? I never had a chance against a high fantasy YA about two princesses falling for each other. I was eager to pick up the sequel, and it definitely did not disappoint. In fact, I think this second book has a strongerRead More

Alice Pate reviews A Line In The Dark by Malinda Lo
Trigger Warnings: drug use, underage drinking, referenced underage sex, adult/teenager relationship Note: Not all trigger warnings are present in this review, but they are present in the book in question. A Line In The Dark may be marketed as a YA thriller, but I personally believe all the best parts of the story have nothingRead More
Alice Pate reviews The Brightsiders by Jen Wilde
Trigger Warnings: alcoholism, underage drinking, neglectful parenting, abusive relationship Note: Not all trigger warnings are present in this review, but they are present in the book in question. The Brightsiders has been on my to be read list for several months before I finally purchased a copy. The bright colors of the cover had reallyRead More
Sash S. reviews Wilder Girls by Rory Powers
“The Tox took teacher after teacher. Rules crumbling to dust and fading away, until only the barest bones were left.” Body horror. Boarding school. Queer girls. Wilder Girls promises a lot of cool things. Marketed as ‘a feminist Lord of the Flies’, one expects a grimdark pastiche of Enid Blyton’s Malory Towers, mixed with comfortingly familiarRead More
