3 Hard-Hitting YA Novels I Loved // ft. mini reviews + adoration!!

Sometimes you need a little more than fluff.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all here for a cutesy, fluffy contemporary. I mean, take a look at my bookshelf. But often it’s so necessary to read a YA novel that’s more than fluffy. It’s so important to read books that address more difficult topics, or aren’t only sunshine and happiness all the time.

Today I’m going to be reviewing (in a miniature fashion) three novels I recently read that were incredibly hard-hitting. Each of these sent powerful messages and really got me thinking. Like I said, I have nothing against fluff, but fluff isn’t everything, and these three books really proved that point!

I know I just did a mini reviews post last week, but there are just too many books and too little time that I read and then didn’t get to talk about, so after this post I’ll finally be caught up on my reviews and we can go back to more of my regular scheduled programming. 😉

All right, without further ado, let’s get into the reviews!

My Pride Month TBR // 6 Books With LGBTQ+ Characters That I Want to Read in June!

It’s very nearly June, and I can hardly believe it.

Wasn’t it just January? Why am I still writing 2018 on all my papers and forgetting that February, March, and April actually happened? Despite how quickly this year has gone by for me (the days are long but the months are short, my friends), June has *almost* come.

Since June is Pride Month, I’m excited to be sharing my Pride Month TBR! I know you’ll probably all see dozens of these posts this month, but I wanted to do one anyway because there are just so many good books out there.

I heard about all the books on this list from other book blogs, which just goes to show how lucky I am to be a part of this community. Without blogging, I don’t think I would have learned about so many amazing and diverse books!

If Pride Month is especially meaningful for you, then know I’m sending you all my love and I hope it’s a wonderful month.🌈 Without further ado, let’s get started!
