“You might be looking for reasons, but there are no reasons.”
I loved “Hold Still” by Nina Lacour. It had a simple and easy to follow storyline, but complex characters, and great writing.

Quiet frankly, I‘m not sure as to what I just read. The wording is nice, however it lacks a huge moment of realization that most mysteries contain. The plot is somewhat back and forth, as if the author wasn‘t quite sure what the ending would be as they were writing and decided against going back to revise. Despite this, I would recommend to anyone who loves mysteries, as it really keeps you guessing all throughout the book, and after.

“Sick with the impossibility of it all, with the reality of how small a person is. How at any second you can get struck down by a bullet or a tree; how a person can look so very tiny against the world, how each of us is nothing more than a speck”
― Tara Altebrando, The Opposite of Here

I just finished Sleeper by Mackenzie Cadenhead, and it wasn‘t necessarily bad nor good. Her relationship with her Wes throughout the book reminded of JD and Veronica‘s relationship in Heathers, which is one of my favorite movies, however the book was somewhat cliché, but worth reading nonetheless.

I‘m only on page 150 of this book, and I‘m already loving it! It‘s somewhat a hard read at times, but it‘s vivid and just overall, beautiful. I would definitely recommend this book, specifically if you love complex but subtle literature, and can relate to discrimination and being unfairly stereotyped.
