Falling Through the Night Book Review
Full disclosure: I was given a free advance reader copy of this book by Books Forward in exchange for an honest review. It’s funny how in six months, I’ve read two books about queer, Jewish women. One was the memoir Late Bloomer: Finding Authentic Myself at Midlife by Melissa Giberson. Today’s subject, the fictional FallingContinue reading “Falling Through the Night Book Review”

This excessiveness can also be seen in books like the Twilight series. However, since novels allow extensive insight into the characters’ mindsets as they deal with theContinue reading “The Great Alone Book Review”
