My NetGalley is at my limit, 20, still but I will get it down!
Read Since The Last Post
A lot of the plot of this book was confusing and didn’t make a lot of sense (why did the compass melt into her hand exactly??). I also found the MC a little annoying.

Emergency Contact meets Moxie in this cheeky and searing novel that unpacks just how complicated new love can get…when you fall for your enemy.
Eliza Quan is the perfect candidate for editor in chief of her school paper. That is, until ex-jock Len DiMartile decides on a whim to run against her. Suddenly her vast qualifications mean squat because inexperienced Len—who is tall, handsome, and male—just seems more like a leader.
When Eliza’s frustration spills out in a viral essay, she finds herself inspiring a feminist movement she never meant to start, caught between those w ..read more

Lizzie Brown’s life is one big to-do list:
1. Start college
2. Become cool
3. Decide wtf to do with her life
So when she meets Viv, the crazy, beautiful lead singer in a band, she thinks she’s on her way to achieving number two on her list. And when Viv asks her to be the bass player in the band, there’s only one problem – Lizzie can’t play a single note. And that she’s nowhere near cool enough (ok, two problems). And that she has a huge crush on the guitarist (ok, three), who happens to be Viv’s boyfriend (ok, this is a terrible idea).
But Viv won’t take no for an answer, and decides ..read more

I am now drowning under my NetGalley pile as it hit 21 this week so I’m going to have to cram Unseelie to get it back down again!
Read Since The Last Post
This was fine, the story just felt quite rushed which ruined my enjoyment of it. I wanted more time of the various challenges and dates they did.

Both of these are on my wishlist, and I feel like Where Echoes Die was announced so long ago? I remember the cover being compared with Not Good For Maidens.
