You’ll Miss Me When I’m Gone by Rachel Lynn Solomon
What are your thoughts on this week’s releases? Love and Other Train Wrecks sounds a little like Before Sunrise (which is a movie that Just One Day reminded me of) so I’m intrigued. Turn it Up sounds a little like Pitch Perfect, so I’m also intrigued by that one. And I need someone to read Pretty Dead Girls and tell me what they thought!
2018 started strong! I forgot a Conspiracy of Starts came out today!
It really did. Hoping it is a year of great books!
I really liked Together at Midnight. Meet Cute is one I want to get. Pretty Dead Girls looks intriguing too.
I’m thinking about Pretty Dead Girls too. And congratulations to you!!!!
I’ve read Pretty Dead Girls, You’ll Miss Me When I’m Gone, Everless, and Together at Midnight. Pretty Dead Girls is a guilty pleasure type read in my opinion. It’s readable and twisty. Is it the best book I’ve ever read? No. But did I still enjoy it? Definitely! YMMWIG is my favorite 2018 debut so far, Everless is such a fantastic fantasy, and Together at Midnight is a quiet yet impactful YA contemporary. I’m super excited for A Conspiracy of Stars and Gunslinger Girl! I may just have to buy them today 🙂
Wow – you are really reading a lot – I follow you on GR. Sorry you didn’t enjoy Bakersfield Dozen as much as I did 🙁
Gah. It’s been too long. I need to come here regularly just so I know what’s happening in the book world.
Happy New Year, Jenn!
No worries – I’ve been following your other pursuits on IG, etc and you’ve been busy! The books will be here when you want them. Happy 2018!
I would really like to pick up a copy of You’ll Miss Me When I’m Gone! Happy New Year Jen!!!
I hope you get a chance to read it, and that you like it! Happy 2018!
Runaways and The Cruel Prince both look good to me.
Happy 2018!
I’m hoping to read Cruel Prince too! Happy New Year 🙂
