Book Review: Anna K: A Love Story (Anna K #1) by Jenny Lee

Anna K has it all. And with the perfect reputation, the perfect boyfriend and the perfect life at an elite school in Greenwich, Anna is envied by many.

It is then that Anna meets Alexia “Count” Vronsky (a dashing and irresistible playboy who seems to have his eye on her).

Book Review: Love is a Revolution by Renée Watson

Nala has big plans for kicking back and enjoying her summer break. What those plans dont include is a lot of grueling volunteer work. That is until her cousin and BFF, Imani, invites her to an event hosted by Inspire Harlem; a local community service organization for teens. There, Nala meets Imani’s friends including a very cute activist-in-training named Tye. Suddenly all of Nala’s summer plans unravel and, in the hopes of winning over Tye, Nala decides to don a more service minded version of herself. After a summer of pretending, will there be anything left of the real Nala? And would Tye still be interested in her if he knew the truth?
