Book Review | Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales

Posted May 18, 2020 by Emma in 2020 books, Book Review, LGBTQ+, YA / 0 Comments

Hello my lovely readers, today I’m sharing my review of Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales. ‘Tell me more, tell me more how good is this book?” I’m sorry I couldn’t resist starting my review in a sing song of Grease. After all it is a queer imagining of Grease, so I couldn’t not. It might not be the last either. I also happened to have watched Grease fairly recently so I was so up for this. My Review ‘I met a guy crazy for me and he met a boy as cute as can be.’ Ollie’s family changes their […]

Hi Everyone, It’s been a long time since I’ve done some book reviews, I have quite a few to catch up on, some going back to May. 🙊 Today I bring you two very different but perfect Summer YA reads. I would like to point out that by doing mini-reviews this is in no a bad reflection of the books. It sometimes nice to do short and sweet reviews. Do you like the Step-Up movies? Well your in for a treat. I loved this book, whilst it had elements of that finding your talent or where you fit in, with the […]
