Writing


Welcome to the writing section! The meaning of this part of the blog has evolved a lot for me. It started as a place to share my own writing, and, even though I don't really do that here anymore, this section still has a lot of meaning for me. Linked below, I do have a way for you to find some of my original writing, but I'm mostly highlighting posts where I share writing advice or talk to lovely authors who have wonderful wisdom to share. Being a part of this community has helped me grow as a writer!

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

Image
  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.

Overall: 5+ Characters: 5 Emory is maybe the most universally relatable teen character in YA. She feels unheard and unseen by
