https://youtu.be/gKJGFB2PjkA Today I talk about the things I was obsessed with as a teenager. Do I still like all of these movies, TV shows, and books, though?

The Mothers by Brit Bennett | Book Review
What a powerful story about love, friendship, motherhood, and religion. The Mothers centers around Nadia Turner, a beautiful seventeen year old girl who has a tragic past but has a bright future ahead of her. After becoming pregnant and getting an abortion, though, the novel focuses on how this single action affects Nadia and everyone… Continue reading The Mothers by Brit Bennett | Book Review
Odd Birds by Ian Harding | Book Review
I'll just admit this out of the gate: I adore Ian Harding, and had a huge crush on him while he portrayed Ezra Fitz on Pretty Little Liars. So, of course, I had to read his memoir. I was a little wary because celebrity memoirs can sometimes come across as a quick cash-grab or can… Continue reading Odd Birds by Ian Harding | Book Review
The Mountain Between Us by Charles Martin | Book Review
What a beautifully told story of survival and love. The Mountain Between Us focuses on two individuals: Ben Payne, a surgeon, and Ashley Knox, a journalist. Their flights are canceled due to heavy snow, so they decide to hitch a ride on a private plane. Disaster soon strikes, though, and they're left deserted in the… Continue reading The Mountain Between Us by Charles Martin | Book Review

Gerald’s Game by Stephen King | Book Review
This is genuinely one of the most twisted, unique books I've read. Focusing on a sex game gone horribly wrong, this is the story of Jessie Burlingame's struggle to survive. That's not all that's going on, though. Jessie has voices speaking to her, a stray dog who is desperately hungry, and a possibly malevolent presence… Continue reading Gerald’s Game by Stephen King | Book Review

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch | Book Review
WOW. This is one hell of a novel. Without giving too much of this incredible story away, the book follows a man named Jason Dessen, a married father who is a physics professor at a local university. One day, though, his life is completely changed, in ways he never imagined. I loved the writing style… Continue reading Dark Matter by Blake Crouch | Book Review
The Lesser Bohemians by Eimear McBride | Book Review
The plot of this novel intrigued me. The story follows a young woman named Eily as she attends drama school in London. One night, she meets an older man and embarks on a passionate relationship with him. Sadly, the book let me down severely. The narrative is written in a stream of consciousness/syntax format, and… Continue reading The Lesser Bohemians by Eimear McBride | Book Review
