The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

5.0

I am a huge fan and supporter of “Fixer Girls.” I love a brooding man who is grumpy, closed off and a huge brat. At the end Belly and Conrad get together and my heart was SOARING. Hell yeah Belly, save those angsty mean men, you’re doing the hard but honest work

As a child of divorce, I love seeing kids winning

Go off Queen

Honor Girl: A Graphic Memoir by Maggie Thrash

4.0

What do you mean the girls don’t fall in love at the end of the book? Gay people are supposed to be happy, and even though the girls had a weird age gap, I want women to be happy.

Still, being gay at Camp? That’s a win for the community anyway

What If It's Us by Adam Silvera, Becky Albertalli

5.0

I am once again upset that the gays are not having happy endings. Yeah love is ephemeral and all that and we have to enjoy it in the moment.

However, I believe that these two boys deserved to be together and do long distance

500 Words or Less by Juleah del Rosario

4.0

I enjoyed the way the book was formatted and the verses made it very easy to read.

I gotta level with you, i’m not sure why the ex boyfriend had to die or why no one actually used the college essay letters.

I love skiing so I don’t want to think about his death for too long otherwise I’ll get anxious

Looking for Alaska by John Green

5.0

January 10th is that significant to you? On January 10th, Alaska’s mother died. Alaska died the night of January 10th. As I was reading this heart wrenching book about loss and grief and love and infinite energy, I was gutted by the date of January 10th. My professor, director, and friend died this year on January 10th, I hadn’t moved on, or forgiven him for leaving so suddenly with no warning. I didn’t have a chance to say goodbye or even mourn, I too was back to school the very day of his passing. Today I felt him in this book, as Pudge says energy is never destroyed or made and that we live on with those we’ve lost within us, for the first time I felt my friend again. Who knew that me being “not-like-other-girls” when this book came out would lead the book back to me when I needed it the most
