What a fun quick read this was! I love Emma Mills's writing so I was really looking forward to reading this and it did not disappoint.  It follows Nina who joins a radio broadcasting class in her final year of high school where she ends up in a group with her neighbour/childhood friend Jamie. Someone who she has been avoiding for the past few years because of an incident that happened when they were younger. Nothing seems to be going right her, the radio show is a disaster, her mother is getting remarried which means a lot of changes and she has to spend a lot of time with Jamie, who she may or may not still care about. I loved the relationship Nina had with her sisters, they joked around and annoyed each other but were ultimately there for each other whenever they needed each other. It was a very realistic portrayal of sisters. I also loved their sarcasm and humour. I liked how, yes this book was about a radio show but also so much more. Every character had a side sto

One Of Us Is Next is the sequel to One Of  Us Is Lying . It doesn't follow the same cast of characters but they do appear throughout the novel. I found that this one was more predictable to me than the first one but it still had a nice little twist at the end that you don't see coming. My only fault with this book is that I wished we could have seen more of what happened at the end after that last twist but I guess that just means I was fully invested in the characters and wasn't read to leave them yet which is the sign of a good book. In this novel, the teens at Bayview are sent a truth or dare game. Once you are selected you have 24 hours to accept your dare or else a truth about you will be revealed. This was such a fun premise for this book and was the reason why I couldn't wait to read this book. Who doesn't love a good game of truth or dare, perhaps with stakes not quite as high as in this book though. I loved all the characters in this one e

The Boy Next Story is the second book in the Bookish Boyfriends series. The premise of these books is the main character (usually a female and somehow connected to the main character in the previous story) is set a book to read by the 'magical' English teacher for extra credit and they soon find that their lives follow the path of the character in the novel they are reading. These books are honestly a lot of fun and feature a swoon-worthy romance that will have you adding another bookish boyfriend to your every growing list. This book in particular follows Rory (the younger sister of the previous book's main character) and her struggles coping at her new school Hero High and her heartache with being in love with the boy next door who only seems to have eyes for her sister. Rory is an artist who has a lot of anxiety and feels like she doesn't fit in anywhere - at home or at school. The only times she feels seen and heard are around Toby (the boy next door) t
