Never Have I Ever - Karen McManus
5 Stars
- loved this one, reminded me of Christopher Pike's short stories and his Master of Murder phase.
Like Before - Maureen Goo
3 Stars
- I liked the treasure hunt the friends go on, but not sure why she was trying to salvage the friendship, since both girls were awful to her, and the ending was a bummer.
Old Rifts and Snow Drifts - Kayla Whaley
4 Stars
- Very cute! I'm all about snowed in romances!
Con Nights, Parallel Hearts - Marieke Nijkamp
3 Stars
- I liked the concept, but it felt too crammed into the space for it to really work. Would have worked better as a novella.
Kiss the Boy - Amanda Joy
4 Stars
- Rather swoony! It definitely made me want to check out more by Amanda Joy! Three friends had made a pact to try to kiss their crushes before graduation (not in a creepy way), and tonight's the night for the last one to try!
Creature Capture - Laura Silverman
4 Stars
- A girl into a Pokemon Go like game who feels like maybe she's too old to be this into it. I remember reluctantly giving up some of the things I loved as a teen because they were too "babyish". Trying to be an adult sucks almost as much as being an actual adult, lol.
Shark Bait - Tiffany D Jackson
5 Stars
- Does UNOS allow you on the heart transplant list if yours has been shredded by an author?
A Nice Place to Start - Nina LaCour
3.5 Stars
- I wasn't quite sure where this story was going to go, but I ended up really enjoying reading about brand new step-siblings bonding.
When You Bring a Dog to Prom - Anna Meriano
4 Stars
- Funny and adorable, could have read a whole book about these characters!
Missing - Kathleen Glasgow
3.5 Stars
- I wish this one had been a book, because I got confused over the characters at times, but I love a haunted asylum story.
What About Your Friends - Brandy Colbert
2.5 Stars
- Not a bad story, but it just didn't hold my interest. It's about two friends coming back together. I did like the setting (an all night dance contest) and that one of the girls is back after taking a gap semester abroad, and the other one had pledged a black sorority (since they were the only black girls at their high school).
Under our Masks - Julian Winters
4 Stars
- adorable romance with a masked teen hero and his crush, while they spend the night on a rooftop.
The Ghost of Goon Creek - Francesca Zappia
4 Stars
- a story about teens spending the night in a cemetary, waiting for a ghost? Yes, please. Friendships forming and first impressions giving way to something deeper? Hell, yes! Also, ghost hunting!
