pickI nearly gave up on this in the first few pages because of the wildly descriptive beginning. Then I read this was adapted from a play by Keane, so I was able to see that as the stage directions for Act 1, Scene 1. And then the action started. The love triangle was not for me, but I very much liked Aunt Anna Rose.
pickBook 2 of 2025. This is the sequel to All Our Hidden Gifts and was just as good as the first one! If you like witchy books, this trilogy may be for you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
so-soThis is a post-apocalyptic Frankenstein retelling. It was okay. The twist ending was good.

Funny but didn't grip me so much. Lets try another one
pickJenny Ireland‘s debut YA romance has a well drawn female main character and does a great job of showing what it‘s like to live with arthritis. However Juliet‘s relationship with Tara interested me more than the romance with Ronan, mainly because Ronan‘s backstory didn‘t ring as emotionally true with his relationship with his mother in particular feeling undercooked. That said I enjoyed reading this and will happily check out Ireland‘s next book.
pickThis series is just so fantastic at capturing the feelings and growing pains and interpersonal challenges of the teen years, all while fighting religious fundamentalism with witchcraft, queer love, and the power of friendship. This installment especially excels with representations of queer, racial, neurodivergent, and disability marginalization—and with portraying the suffering so often behind the worst actions—and it‘s just a fun ride!
pickAnother fun and lighthearted trip to enjoy the last of the summer. 6/10
pickI've always loved Marian Keyes and Rachel's Holiday was an especial favourite years ago. This novel captures the Walsh family and their natural Irish humour just as I fondly remember them but this time throws even more depth and meaning as Rachel is further ahead in life and dealing with some difficult issues. A really enjoyable read.
