A fantastic YA story with great representation and all the feels. It touched on a lot of tough topics and didn’t shy away from showing the harsh truth, but did so with care. There were also plenty of feel good moments and it all went well together. The ending was a bit unrealistic and I usually prefer ‘real’ over ‘tied up with a bow to be pretty’ but in this case, I didn’t mind. Sometimes an unrealistic ending is what the characters deserve and I’m here for it💛

A no frills look at what the apocalypse could actually be. I would not survive which isn’t surprising, but it is all the more horrifying to realize I may stand a better chance if it were zombies. 

I loved this book. I was drawn in by the narration and  connected to the characters. The purposely simple writing style had me hooked from beginning to end. I’ve already downloaded the sequel. 

Not the typical Ania stories I know and LOVE, but still an enjoyable time. The Pretty Ones was okay, but predictable and not one that will stick with me. I liked I Call Upon Thee a lot more, just expected a little more from the ending. 

Wow, I was not prepared for the emotional gut punch Elena Knows delivers. This is not a feel good story, it hurts, but I think the pain is necessary to truly appreciate the author’s skill. At just under 200 pages, there are no flowery phrases to distract the reader. Several difficult topics are addressed head-on and yet there’s a design, an almost poetic feel, in the way they’re shared. This is one I won’t be forgetting anytime soon. 

There are beautiful moments in this tale of love across time. Unfortunately, the amount of the story left unexplained prevented me from making a strong connection with the characters. I appreciate the writing style and enjoyed the audiobook, but it isn’t a new favorite. 

Utterly delightful🖤
