What's Coming Up In July

-

July is one of the most exciting months of the year. It's right in the middle of summer, there's 4th of July which promises fun barbecues or a beach trip, and it's my birthday month. Also, there are tons of amazing books coming out this month. I'm going to tell you about a few of them that I'll get to feature over the course of the month.

Past Perfect Life
Not giving too much away, but I read this book in a single day. Elizabeth Eulberg has written a masterpiece in this intense story that delves into the world of a girl who's found out that her entire life isn't the full story of her past. 

The Best Lies and Interview with Sarah Lyu
Another breathtaking single day read, this twisty thriller is perfect for people who love unreliable narrators and alternating timelines. This book will blow your mind. I'm so excited that I get to discuss it with Sarah and learn some more about how it came to be. 

Please Send Help
College YA is my jam, so I'm so happy to get my hands on another one. While I have yet to read I Hate Everyone But You, I'm looking forward to reading them both! 

The next two books are releasing on my birthday!!!!
Me Myself and Him and Interview with Chris Tebbetts
As someone who is completely fascinated by the idea of parallel universes, this book sounds right up my alley. In a hilarious series of events, Chris realizes that there isn't a perfect universe out there. I can't wait to read!

The Boy & Girl Who Broke the World
Amy Reed is an author that I always get excited about. This sounds like a surreal twist on a story of two outcast teens coming together and realizing what it means to have someone. While I don't generally venture beyond the strict walls of contemporary, I'm excited about this one. 

The Arrival of Someday
Roller derbies are on full display in this novel. Also, though, it focuses on a girl dealing with a flare of a severe liver disease she was born with. Learning to cope with this and causes many questions and uncertainties.

The Year They Fell
When a plane crash takes the lives of a once close group of kid's parent's, the group is forced to reconcile what drove them apart while they grieve together. 

Hello Girls
Faced with abusive situations and life that seems to lack any hope, two girls decide to leave town together in search of a better life. 

Ziggy Stardust and Me
In this historical novel set in 1973, two boys find each other in a world that is still fiercely fighting against allowing them to love each other. Jonathan often escapes into an alternate reality in his head as a way to cope, offering some refuge as he works to gain confidence in himself.

House of Salt And Sorrow
Again, I don't tend to read fantasy, but when I saw it was a spin on the Twelve Dancing Princesses, I had to get my hands on it. While it will probably be a sharp departure from the Barbie movie "Twelve Dancing Princesses" I watched a million times as a child, I'm super excited to see it all grown up.

Let's Call It a Doomsday
Heretics Anonymous was one of my favorite books of last year, so I'm excited Henry is back with a new novel. Ellis is a doomsday prepper. Hannah, who she meets in her therapist office, has a premonition about when the end of the world will hit. The pair try to come together to prepare for the end of everything they know.

You'd Be Home By Now by Kathleen Glasgow: YA Book Review

  You'd Be Home By Now  by Kathleen Glasgow  I'm very thankful to the publisher for providing me with this ARC to share my honest thoughts on this book with all of you. Overview: Emory has always been the good one. The nice one. The easy one. The invisible one. Her older sister, Maddie, is gorgeous and talented. Her older brother, Joey, is struggling with addiction issues, and her parents saddle Emory with the responsibility of being his forever babysitter. No one thinks about Emory- ever. Which leads her to pick up a habit of stealing and collecting small things and hooking up with the high school baseball star next door to feel seen and important. While Joey is stuck on the rollercoaster of his addiction, his family is right there behind him, and as Emory struggles to keep Joey stable, she's also left to contend with her own precariously okay life. Overall: 5+ Characters: 5 Emory is maybe the most universally relatable teen character in YA. She feels unheard and unseen by

Happy Place  by Emily Henry Overview: Harriet found her friend group for life in college. They might as well be her family. They've grown together through graduation and law school and medical school and one member leaving to go to South America to learn organic farming because they always come back together to spend a week in Maine every year at one friend's family summer house. Now, as they confront true adulthood and the changes that come with it, they have one more summer together before the house is sold to set the course of the future of their bonds. Overall: 4 Do I think this is an incredible romance? Maybe not. But it is a great book.  Characters: 4 There's a lot of characters in this book. The core friend group is six people, plus we get a closer look at both Harriet and her ex-fiancé Wyn's families. They're all well developed and have good dimension despite there being so many characters involved.  Harriet is at a crisis point in her life. She's in the
