Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin
I’m not sure how to summarize this book without spoilers so there’s going to be a tiny spoiler (but it’s something that happens early on in the book) and then another spoiler that happens a lot later in the book but is obvious right from the start. So if [...]

Paper Towns by John Green
Paper Towns by John Green
John Green is another one of those authors that I would totally be missing out on if it weren’t for book blogs. (And I would be missing out on Brotherhood 2.0, which I discovered by reading the inside back cover of the book and since then I’ve been watching all the [...]

Just Listen by Sarah Dessen

Beatrice and Virgil by Yann Martel
