Review: First Comes Love by Emily Giffin

First Comes LoveFirst Comes Love by Emily Giffin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I always find Emily Giffin's books compulsive reads—even when I usually don't love the main characters. I never really cared overly for Darcy and Rachel in Something Borrowed but I still enjoyed the book throughly. I have the same feelings about First Comes Love. Sisters Josie and Meredith seemed a little stunted with their emotional growth, but their trials and tribulations following a tragedy with their brother make for a compelling read. Some of the drama seemed petty, but I think it only added a realistic feel to the novel. Another solid book from a must-read author.

Review: This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab

This Savage Song  (Monsters of Verity, #1)This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This Savage Song was incredibly good. It was so good, in fact I'm having a hard time reading a new novel after it. The beginning had me lost, but I'm so glad I was patient and waited to see how the story was going to come together. I loved the dual POVs and although I didn't care for Kate at first, she definitely won me over by the end. The book had a definite conclusion but left enough loose ends for the next book. I normally like a lot of romance in YA books, but this was one of the rare exceptions when it wasn't needed and the bond between Kate and August went deeper than romantic partners. Can't wait for the next book!
