Book Review | The Writing Retreat (ARC)

On January 24, 2023January 23, 2023 By Jenny ALeave a comment

Book Review | The Loneliest Girl in the Universe (ARC)

On July 13, 2018July 26, 2020 By Jenny ALeave a comment

I received an advance reader’s copy (ARC) of The Loneliest Girl in the Universe by Lauren James, so I will not quote it, just comment in general. I have to say, I liked this book more than I was expecting. It has a rather interesting premise that reminded me, at first glance, of a young …
