Full dummy available!

I really love JUST US by Molly Beth Griffin.

Chatted w teens about banned books and books in general yesterday, and one of the teens said there should be a book category between middlegrade and young adult because what they read at 13 and are reading at 16 is very different, and yes please!

More books for inbetween/upper middle grade age!

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes.

I would rather share in your earnest mistakes Than be pandered to by a slick talking savior
