Instantly it reminded me of Viper by Bex Hogan with the lyrical writing of The Wicked Deep by […] The post Book Review | Compass and Blade by Rachel Greenlaw appeared first on Never Judge a Book by its Cov ..read more

Hello lovely readers, I’m so excited to be kicking off the blog tour on publication day for The Things We Leave Behind. Happy Release Day Clare. So without further ado here is my review for this moving and important YA novel that everyone needs to read. Wow what an powerful and impactful novel.

Hello my lovely readers. I am about to review the first book to make me cry of 2024 and my second 5 star read. I had a glorious glowing book hangover not in a bad way and it took me a while to really process it. 05/01/2023 – Only 17 pages in and already the main characters Sid and Mel, remind me a bit of 10 Things I Hate About You. Especially Sid specifically I think. I’m just getting that vibe and I love it. 10/01/2024 – Well what a book.
