After two good, but grim murder books in a row, I need something lighter and this was the perfect pick. If you want to read something that will make you happy, this is that book. I didn’t think of it until after, but if you like Rainbow Rowell’s books, you’ll probably like Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.

I’m so glad I dove right into this one after finishing In The Woods. I liked them both, but The Likeness is a touch stronger in terms of writing and I loved the story.

I really wanted to love Ghost World. There aren’t many books, let alone graphic novels, centering on the close friendship between two complex female characters. I just couldn’t escape the awful feeling that would close in around me every time I […]
