This book was so good! It was different from some of the other Sarah Dessen books I’ve read and tackled some heavier topics.
On Caitlin’s sixteenth birthday, her older sister Cass runs away. With her family falling apart, Caitlin tries to fill the void her sister left. Then she meets Rogerson who makes her forget about everything. But are things with Rogerson as good as they seem?

A Sky Of Paper Stars by Susie Yi
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A Sky of Paper Star is a middle grades graphic novel about Yuna, a Korean-American student who just wants to fit in. She wants to go to sleepovers, have a cellphone, and eat cafeteria food like all of her other friends. When her grandmother passes away unexpectedly, Yuna and her family make the trip to Korea for the funeral.
When I saw someone reading this book, my interest was instantly peaked. The tears I cried while reading this book. 😭 The way grief, loss, and finding your identity were handled so well. Anything less than 5 stars would be a crime.

I read we were liars a while ago and I really liked it. I didn’t really have any expectations for what it would be, but I liked it for what it was. Just another glimpse into the Sinclair family and the liars they are.
I liked it. It was very hallmark esque which I expected nothing less for obvious reasons.

First I’d like to thank @adorabol for the ARC. Now when she said slow burn, she meant that. 😭 The love story between Ira and Merit was beautifully written and I love that he never gave up on her and she never gave up on herself. Now the banter was bantering and I could not get enough. For fans of:
