Throw Like A Girl, written by Sarah Henning, is a swooning young adult romance published by Little, Brown Company. This is officially my third review for this author and I thoroughly enjoyed reading each one of her books. Sea Witch and Sea Witch Rising were both young adult fantasy novels, so I was curious about this switch to a contemporary romance.
The author did not let me down.
Thank you The Novl for gifting me an advanced copy of this book!

The Girl the Sea Gave Back is a novel beautifully written by Adrienne Young. This epic young adult fantasy novel, published by Wednesday Books, is set to be released on September 3, 2019.
Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Let me start by saying that this is the first time that I’ve ever pestered a publisher so much to receive a book. And I’m not ashamed of it. I’ve been obsessed with this book since the moment I saw the cover reveal.
Sky in the Deep, the author’s first book, took me by surprise in the best way imaginable. This book offers so much: adventure, romance, battle, mystical belief, and a great storyline. Putting down this book was impossible, so when I found out about The Girl the Sea Gave Back, I simply had to read it.
This story is set in the same world as Sky in the Deep

For fans of Love, Simon and Eleanor and Park, a romantic and sweet novel about a transgender boy who falls in love for the first time—and how first love changes us all—from New York Times bestselling author Amber Smith.
Chris and Maia aren’t off to a great start.
A near-fatal car accident first brings them together, and their next encounters don’t fare much better. Chris’s good intentions backfire. Maia’s temper gets the best of her.
But they’re neighbors, at least for the summer, and despite their best efforts, they just can’t seem to stay away from each other.
The path forward isn’t easy. Chris has come out as transgender, but he’s still processing a frightening assault he survived the year before. Maia is grieving the loss of her older sister and trying to find her place in the world without her.
Falling in love was the last thing on either of their minds.
But would it be so bad if it happened anyway?
I’m close to finishing this book, and this book is beautifully written. The characters are well developed, and the love story is one of a kind. This story will make you laugh and cry. You
This book is making me think in ways I wouldn’t have normally done. I made me wonder and question our society. If you loved Simon versus The Homo Sapiens Agenda, give this book a try. You’ll love it!

I discovered Net Galley a few days ago, and I felt like a kid at Disneyland. I’ve always loved romance, whether it’s adult or YA. What can I say? I can’t resist a swoon-worthy story. So, when I stumbled upon this cute book cover, I immediately read the description. You’d Be Mine, written by Erin Hahn, seemed promising and right up my alley.
I’ve had The Last Namsara on my shelf for far too long. I’ve never really thought much about it, and I’ve always had another book I wanted to read more until recently when some fellow book-lovers started raving about it. We have the same taste in books, so I thought I should give it a try. This book is part of my December Reading Challenge.
Now, the only thing I’m thinking is “Why did I wait so long to pick up this book? Why??”

Today, I’m reviewing a Young Adult (YA) dystopian novel, The Rule of One, written by Ashley and Leslie Saunders. I’m the first to admit that I don’t read many books by indie authors, or at least not as many as I should. It’s not that I don’t like indie books; they just don’t receive as much exposure. Going for a book published by a large publisher is easy because of all the press revolving around it.
That said, I’m glad I picked up this book, and I think it’s fantastic that Amazon is giving more and more power to indie authors. The caveat has always been the quality of the books. Often indie authors’ books are published too fast, leaving a bitter taste in the reader’s mouth, but once in a while, we stumble upon little gems like this one.
