Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys. by Viv Albertine
3.0
Lousy grammar but vivid voice; the narrator is really easy to relate to and like. Though admittedly, it did feel like the book dragged on a bit longer than was effective.
Day 21 by Kass Morgan
4.0
Pretty dramatic, and honestly was kind of a cliche twist, which I resented because . But there were definitely other (cooler) developments, as well as a lot of great Bellarke moments, and overall I really liked it.

I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak
3.0
Whimsically interesting yet grounded enough to be believable and relatable. Memorable cast of characters and an overall fantastic premise - I just didn't like the narrator very much.
The Secrets of Midwives by Sally Hepworth
4.0
All three narrators had distinct voices and personalities, and the plot was well-conceived and well-executed. This book may not make my all-time favorites list, but it was really good.
The Taste of Salt by Martha Southgate
3.0
Vivid narrative with dynamic characters who represent minorities, but I wasn't a huge fan of the narrative style and the plot seemed to drag.
Two or Three Things I Forgot to Tell You by Joyce Carol Oates
1.0
Ugh, I absolutely could NOT stand the characters - even if the bitchiness was intentional, they were more caricatures of teenagers than relatable individuals. The plot didn't seem to connect or make any real sense.
