REVIEW: Crave by Tracy Wolff

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Crave is a young adult paranormal romance book by Tracy Wolff, the first in its series. The book follows Grace, a seventeen-year-old girl, who after losing both of her parents, has to move away from the house, state and life she once knew to Katmere Academy. A boarding school in the middle of nowhere, Alaska, that is run by her Uncle and attended by her cousin. She knows next to nothing about her new home and all the fantastical students that attend it or the new world she has stepped into. Will being the only human in the school allow her to fly under the radar, or will it put too huge of a target on her back that no one can remove or ignore?

REVIEW: You Do You: The Inspirational Guide to Living the Life You Want by Charlotte Greedy

Rating: 5 out of 5.

You Do You: The Inspirational Guide to Living the Life You Want is Charlotte Greedy’s first book, which is classified as a self-help book but is very much more than that. It is what I like to think is an honest discussion about life. This book covers everything from the authors’ early childhood, relationships, family, mental health, body image, parenthood, work, and more. If you are ready for some relatable content that will make you smile and, in my case, ugly cry in equal measure, then pick this book up!

Film Adaptation: Where the Crawdads Sing

Where the Crawdads Sings is a novel by Delia Owens, that sits in many genres; Mystery, Literary Fiction, and Bildungsroman. That follows the short life of a resilient young girl abandoned by those who were supposed to love her, and raised by the marsh that surrounded her. From every which way she turned there was darkness where people should have been, and obstacles no child should have to face. And in spite of it all, she grew into an intelligent young woman whose soul was so blindingly pure it could break you in two. Scattered through the chapters of Kyra Clark’s life was another story that intertwined, a murder mystery some find too hard to solve and keeps you guessing more than you’d like. Whatever happened to Chase Andrews?
