If you liked Geekerella you should try Follow Me Back

Both revolve around any fangirls dream, secretly talking to your celebrity crush and them falling hopelessly in love with you 😂

Follow me back is a thriller

Geekerella is a contemporary

Both were published in 2017

Both were amazing, fun, quick reads!

My Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What makes this book amazing

- similar feels to Stalking Jack the Ripper Series

- Strong family bonds

- There’s a sub plot to start a revolution and overthrow the government

- Has a plague that is comparable to the Corona Virus (might want to avoid if an uncomfortable topic)

I loved this book and did not want to put it down! It is a great pick for the spooky season!

THE BREAKUP SUPPORT GROUP by Cheyanne Young

I actually received this book from the author at Comic Palooza last year and I feel kinda bad it’s taken me so long to get to it

It took me a good 80 pages to get into it but it was an alright story

I am not a romance fan I guess… but I keep trying different books to see if something will change my mind…never really does but 🤷‍♀️

After those 80 pages we finally get out of the fantasizing romance stuff and just get into their everyday life

The author actually uses some schools that are very important to my personal life in this book so I was constantly dying from laughing histarically at seeing my university and one of the HS from the district I was in, from someone else’s view …. I didn’t know the HS part until the acknowledgement page but that’s what had me laughing so hard because I had suspected it the ENTIRE book I just had a different one in mind

I think the characters in the support group are completely adorable

I really thought she would be called out on lying to her new school claiming she used to be a cheer leader at one point but it never came up 🤷‍♀️

If you like romances… that begin with heartbreak and include some high school drama I would recommend picking this up

ARISTOTLE AND DANTE DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE by Benjamin Alire Saenz

I just finished reading this on that rivitedlit website

And OMG this book was so GOOD!!!

I’ll admit based on the title and cover I had expected it to be about ancient earthly beings, possibly going on a road trip (before I started reading it I had never looked at the back cover 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😅) but this was still good

I really liked the story it was sweet at the beginning and end I felt like the book kept taking turns that I wasn’t expecting but it was SO GOOD! (😂😅)

Idk I know this is kind of an old book now but I really did like it

CATCHING STARS by Cayla Keenan

This book was pretty good It had magic and traveling and just so much stuff in it but I loved all of it

The main male character kinda pissed me off a little… I don’t like a lot of things he said and I feel that he’s barley made a change in him, like they say he has but I just don’t believe it I feel like it’s kind of the enemies to lovers trope and idk I think I just want to see him suffer a little for the things he said before they get together… like I know he’s seen and experienced things that have changed his opinion and all but I don’t feel like he’s really gone through a change (this probably doesn’t make sense and I think I’m rambling but🤷‍♀️)

I really did enjoy this book and I wish there was a way for some characters to come back but I really hope I never see Hale again 🙄(supposedly he’s a villain but I just find him really annoying)

A LINE IN THE DARK by Malinda Lo

This book was interesting I didn’t really see the ending coming

It was kinda just sad by the end

It was kinda cool how we got to see Jess write her comic book, it reminded me of Eliza and Her Monsters, but we didn’t get to actually see any of the pictures (but I think that might have been something the author did on purpose (idk)), I just kinda wish that the comics storyline hadn’t seemed to follow Jess’s storyline so closely cause I felt like I was reading the same story twice in one book but 🤷‍♀️

I mostly picked this up because it talked about having an “unreliable narrator” and I didn’t know what that meant so I thought it would be more interesting than it was (for me at least)

Idk most thrillers I’ve been reading lately haven’t felt real scary and have kind of let me down

WE AWAKEN by Calista Lynne

I finally got around to reading this, I’ve been looking at it for about a year now probably but I had been on the fence because 1. It’s pretty expensive for a book that’s less than 200 pages and 2. I’ve seen a lot of bad reviews for it

But honestly I thought it was a cute little story, some things were over explained occasionally, and I was able to predict the ending, but I still enjoyed this book

THE QUEEN UNDERNEATH by Stacey Filak

this was such a pretty cover but so not the book for me

instead of actually writing my review I’m just going to share screenshots of my good reads updates because I just can’t with this book anymore

If you bought this book for the plot of a group of thieves and assassins trying to keep their kingdom from being over thrown this book will be very disappointing because that’s maybe like 30 out of the 270 pages the rest is a combination of nsfw makeout scense and flashbacks to not so great child hood memories

but if you like nsfw stuff then this may work out for you

It also has some LGBT representation but since I am not a gay man I have no idea if it is accurate or anything (although I still kinda think it might be good 🤷‍♀️)

either way, for me, I feel it wasn’t worth the $16 I spent on it

DAUGHTER OF THE SIREN QUEEN by Tricia Levenseller

I loved this sequel so much! I missed the characters from DOTPK (🤷‍♀️) and I loved getting the siren queens side of the story

CHARISMA by Jeanne Ryan

This book was ok I guess… it sounded so much more interesting than it was, I was hoping for a bit more from something labeled as a thriller

Shane deserved better… *spoiler*…it still felt like she was just trying to solve a love triangle by killing him off to me, but idk maybe that’s a little strong… still he could have lived his life and been happy, he had many other love interests

I also don’t like the ending… like this drug caused so many problems already, yet the MC is not only letting her classmate take an assumed modified version, she’s actually considering taking it herself…just because it’s now in a powdered form and she’s already received the cure once (this reasoning wasn’t stated in the book, but she did consider taking it because she thinks it’s different now(most of this reasoning is just my opinion))

If you’re interested in reading about all the things that could possibly go wrong with gene therapy it’s a book to consider, the writing wasn’t too bad

REIGN OF THE FALLEN by Sarah Glenn Marsh

I was hoping for more from this book It sounded so promising but there wasn’t much exciting about it

I feel like the main character had too many love interests I couldn’t really ship her with anyone

I really don’t have any strong feelings towards any of the characters And the plot stretched out too long to be interesting

This was my first page habit read and all the little sticky notes from the author were kinda cool, they showed where the story could have gone in some places and why some other things seemed to be really specific about

It’s so pretty though
