I read (a lot) of books in this genre: YA teen in an alternate present/near future often dystopian… usually there’s a boy involved (I prefer when that is not the primary story line) and the girl is a “chosen one” or “special” or something.

(It is also free […]
Makes you think twice about the sick people on the plane with you…
I would give this a solid 4.5 stars (rounded up here). This book has been on my to-read list for over a year, and I finally was able to walk away from my ongoing series to listen to this one.

The book primarily follows a few key characters throughout their […]

Lucy grows a backbone
Lucy Hutton is oblivious. Let me just start with that. It is abundantly clear within the first chapter, so I don’t think that this is a spoiler, unless you are also oblivious… Basically, this is the story of two office mates with a lot of pent-up sexual frustration. I do not like romances or chic flicks, but I listened to this book on the advice of BethEllen. I will say, that it’s a cute story and some of the quips of the characters made me […]
