REVIEW: The Third Twin by CJ Omololu

JiaC+ Reviewsadoption / California / Delacorte Press / first person present tense / sisters / thriller / twins / Young-Adult1 Comments

Dear Ms. Omololu, Let me know if this sounds familiar. We have a pair of twins. They switch places and occasionally assume each other’s identity. Eventually, they’re found out. Your novel, The Third Twin, takes this to an extreme I didn’t know existed. Lexi and Ava don’t assume each other’s ... more >

REVIEW: We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

JiaC ReviewsContemporary / Delacorte Press / mystery/suspense / Young-Adult23 Comments

Dear readers, Something I plan to do this year is review more “older” recent books. Don’t get me wrong. It’s nice being able to review new releases. Especially the part where I can recommend the ones I like to readers and seeing those readers like them, too. That satisfies me. ... more >

REVIEW: Being Sloane Jacobs by Lauren Morrill

JiaC+ ReviewsAthlete / Canada / Contemporary / Delacorte Press / Young-Adult3 Comments

Dear Ms. Morrill, When I picked up your novel, I somehow managed to misinterpret the back cover copy. For some reason, I thought the two heroines were twins separated at birth who randomly meet and switch places. No, I have no idea why I had The Parent Trap stuck in ... more >

REVIEW: Hanging by a Thread by Sophie Littlefield

JiaC+ ReviewsCalifornia / Delacorte Press / murder / Paranormal / psychic powers / Young-Adult7 Comments

Dear Ms. Littlefield, Your name’s been on my radar for a while now. Alas, I’m teetering on burnout when it comes to post-apocalyptic novels so I’ve consistently given your Harlequin Luna series a pass. This is no fault of your own. It’s all on me. But when I saw your ... more >

REVIEW: Cross My Heart by Sasha Gould

JiaC- ReviewsDelacorte Press / Historical Romances / secret society / sisters / Venice / Young-Adult5 Comments

Dear Ms. Gould, I love stories that feature relationships between female relatives, especially sisters and cousins close in age. I also love the idea of an all-female secret society that controls the world from the shadows. So when I saw that your novel combined the two, I snatched it up ... more >
