Scythe by Neal Shusterman

4.0

This book was such an interesting concept! A bit slow, but I am glad I stuck it out. Many real-world concepts are discussed and the concept of morality is laid bare. if you're looking for a YA book that is outside the often over-hyped norm, you'll definitely want to give this a shot.

The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton

5.0

This book is pure poetry in narration. Very whimsical, magical realism. Extremely well-written; I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to read something out of the ordinary that you won't soon forget.

Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst

4.0

This book was so refreshing to read! A wonderful twist on a typical YA romance that finally showcases a blossoming LGBTQ relationship. Would highly recommend!

Destiny Blues by Sharon Joss

3.0

Quick read.

Pretty average novel. I didn't hate it but it wasn't my favorite either. This is a good book to read while travelling or hanging out at the beach.

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

5.0

Super quick read but I loved every minute! This world is very cool and can't wait to continue with Siege and Storm to find out what happens next. I'm hooked!

The Rose & the Dagger by Renée Ahdieh

5.0

The epic tale of love and adventure and friendship continues! I am so happy I came upon this series. I highly recommend this series to anyone suffering a reading slump. This will pull you back into the fold, guaranteed.

Escape by Lynne Ewing

4.0

A decent YA novel. This is a quick read with a fun and fast-paced plot. Lynne Ewing has a way with words!

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

5.0

Despite only being the month of March, I am quite confident this is going to be my favorite book of this year. The Hate U Give is a YA contemporary must-read for everyone. This is a Black Lives Matter novel following our main character Starr who is with her childhood best friend, Khalil, heading home from a party when they get pulled over by the police. Khalil loses his life that night. This book looks racism dead in the eye and brings many issues to light. This book will make you think about your own biases and makes room for a conversation about race when so often the topic is swept under the rug. This book will change your life. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
