BOOK REVIEW – I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST

As one of my most anticipated reads of 2019, this book certainly didn't disappoint.

When Ben De Backer comes out to their parents as nonbinary, they're…

BOOK REVIEW – BLOOM

Anyone who knows me will know how much I adore graphic novels, and Bloom is no different. I picked it up a while back in Forbidden Planet after seeing the book recommended on Instagram a few times, and luckily they had a copy in stock! Now that high school is over, Ari is dying to…
