As has been my trend, I chose this book because it has gotten some raving reviews that deemed it worth checking out. Surprisingly, it took me quite a while to finish the novel. I don’t know if it was because it was long or because I was just moving through it slowly. Anyways, here is…

Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll

I’ve become extremely lazy with this blog. It’s not like I’ve stopped reading; I read every single day on my subway rides and even at home in the evenings. But when I actually have to write my review, I push it aside and hold off for a bit. Maybe it’s from the exhaustion of my…
