If you’re looking for a well written nonfiction read, I highly recommend this book. I, much like John Green, will now think of tuberculosis every day, wondering why we can’t make treatment more accessible to all.

Alise Monroe has done it again.
Listen, I LOVED When I Come Back. It was truly so well written, so of course I was super excited to be selected to get an ARC copy of Fighting for You. Margot & Brooks are my fave for sure.
The storyline had me hooked. The romance was everything. The drama was just enough and I only cried a lot while reading it. I highly recommend this series to anyone looking to escape to a small town, filled with funny quips, tons of whiskey, deep conversations, and all the love your heart needs.
I cannot wait to read the rest of the series, especially Ripley’s.

I really enjoyed reading this graphic novel. It legitimately made me laugh out loud. Beautiful artwork with a funny yet mysterious storyline. The dry humor was to die for!

Big thank you to Amy Award & her team at Love Notes PR for the ARC copy of this book! ✨
Let me start off by saying that Tempest Navarro is my all time favorite character in The Cocky Kingmans series. 10/10. No notes. She means everything to me. Flynn was equally as adorable and I really enjoyed their banter.
This is a cute story, with plenty of animal shenanigans, pure love, and all the emotional family moments. That's what I really enjoyed about this book. It made me laugh and cry and want so much more. Amy is a great author.
I will say that if you're looking for spice, then this isn't the book for that. What used to be pretty open door slowly turned into close door romance which is totally fine, but it's just a weird transition considering how the series started. The spice/smut gets less as the series goes on, so if that's why you're here, then I wouldn't recommend this book in particular FOR THAT REASON.
BUUUTTTTTT - this is an adorable love story about self-acceptance, sisterhood, found family, and truly just finding one's own self. It's cute and sappy in a good way. I can't wait to see what Amy Award writes next. ❤

Thank you Aiden Pierce & team for an early copy of this novella!
This was an easy, not so serious read. Never really thought about what being with a giant would be like, so that was new.

This wasn't for me. And usually I love horror. It was like a bad mix of Saw, The Terrifier, and The Hill Have Eyes.
I felt so confused reading it, too. Like one moment we are swimming in a lake and the next it's so cold that you need boots and a coat? An axe handle was swaying in the wind? Almost no mention of how these college kids are paying for anything and it didn't feel very 80s. Just a very generic timeline.
Also, hey, why was it necessarily to mention that a character we meet/see ONE TIME has a swatiska tattoo? We learned about it TWICE for a character that literally did not matter!!!!!! Like you have to be absolutely joking with me.
This isn't a huge thing, but I thought about it so I am going to share it with the masses. I could not tell you what any character looked like or dressed like. Nothing. I know nothing. Shoutout to BookSirens for allowing me to read this (I guess?).

I’ll try to keep this review not so wordy and personal. But this book truly hit home for me.
I watched some of my loved ones struggle with addiction and this book painted that struggle of being on the outside so well, especially being a teenager. I was Emory’s age when my whole world changed, maybe even younger. I remember finding evidence of drug use in our bathroom and wondering what to do. We weren’t rich like the Wards. Help was so far out of reach for years. I felt hopeless and scared and angry and confused. This book described all those feelings so incredibly well.
Thankfully, my loved ones are in recovery, a choice they had to make on their own and continue to make every single day. For that, I am proud and I am hopeful.
This book is heavy, it’s uncomfortable, and it intentionally leaves more to be discovered. Sometimes, like Emory goes on to explain, we don’t get to know the ending because it’s endless and we don’t get to know why or how. It is what it is.
