Review: Whiteout

 

Just before Christmas - a blizzard hits Atlanta. It throws the city into a tailspin - shutting own traffic and trapping people everywhere.

For Stevie, it's the worst timing possible. She's about to make a huge apology to her girlfriend after messing up big time.

Stevie's recruiting all her friends to help. If she pulls it off, it will be a miracle. 

But the snow is wrecking havoc on her plans. Will everything come together in the end? Will it be enough?

My Thoughts: This is from the same author team as BLACKOUT - which to say this book had a lot it had to live up to. And it did! You could feel the cold and the desperation to be anywhere else but trapped in the snow. I loved how again all the stories wove together to make one giant story - but how they all had their stories end too. A happy story that's just perfect to reading inside in front of the fire - and with a cup of cocoa.

Cover Thoughts: Adorable

Library Recommendation: A must have for your teen romance collection!

Mini Review: Blackout

 

Six authors - six stories that connect about one night in New York City when the lights go out. 

It's a story about romance - second chances, moving on, and meeting new people. It's a story about friendship. It's a story about survival. 

And at the end, there's an epic block party. 

My Thoughts: I loved how the stories all came together at the end at the block party. I loved the romance and friendships. This was a fast and fun read.

Library Recommendation: Highly recommended for school and public libraries

Movie Review: The Hate You Give

I loved this book.

I was so happy to finally watching the movie.

It was a great movie. 

Of course there were differences; but overall, it captured the feel of the book.

It gave me all the feels! It was heartbreaking and sad, powerful and hopeful, and everything in between. 

They left out of favorite line from the book - you know the horror movie one.

Did Angie Thomas have a cameo? Because I kept looking for her and never saw her. Did I miss it?

But overall the was amazingly good and I was reminded all over again how much I loved this book. 

Have you seen it yet?

The moms in these books stood out to me too.

What about you? What great moms have you read about lately?
