The book Sisters is a follow up from her other book smile. The book is about a long summer family vacation. They were taking a trip from San Francisco to Colorado. It is all about Reina and her younger sister Amara and their sisterly relationship. I really enjoyed reading this book and would rate it five stars.

This book reminds me of the TV show "This is Us", wherein a family and personal life constantly face very real struggles. A big message in this book is the stigma around mental health and therapy. I enjoyed the approach to the topic and how it fared in the book.

Five stars for being a) a fantastic novel about history, disease, and humanity, and b) a book written by John Green.

It was good - not exactly a page turner but good,

Book 3 of 5. Teen/ YA Book Hourglass picks up where Stargazer left off. The couple join Blackcross vampire hunters and Bianca keeps her secret until she is caught drinking blood. So Good!

A very adventurous second installment in the series. Lots of action coinciding with a fleshing out or established characters and introductions to new ones. The world of the series was also elaborated upon further enriching the story. A cliffhanger ending sets up the next book perfectly.

This was not my favorite book by Elin Hildebrand. Sometimes it was slow moving, sometimes funny. But overall, enjoyable beach read.

Well that was bleak!! Not like, Cormac McCarthy bleak, but desolate enough. In the future or the past, 39 women and one teen girl find themselves captive in an underground bunker, with little memory of how they got there. This is dystopian scifi, and going in you should be aware that no, you won't be getting any answers about What Happened or Why, but that's not what it's about. At no point did I know where it was going, but I enjoyed it. Idk, read it or don't? It's short!

This is my second novel by this author, and I liked both, although I prefer Honor (the first book of hers I read.) I thought this one was a little bit too long, and better pacing and a more likeable title character would have bumped up my rating. Things tied up a little too neatly for me in this story.

These 9 stories made me feel all sorts of ways but mostly: happy. I loved getting to know these new characters and enjoyed learning about them as the stories progressed. Even though I knew these were love stories, I was always surprised when the characters kissed. My favorite of the stories was Winter Songs for Summer, where a downstairs neighbor gave customized CD's for the main character, who was going through a breakup. The last few stories were not exactly the type of books I usually read, but despite it being unusual, I enjoyed the characters even if it was only a little. Overall, Scattered Showers was a quick read as well as a book I could finish and think about for at least a few minutes.
