    All the Paths to You by Morgan Lee Miller | ARC Review

    9th June 2020
    Cover of All the Paths to You (Morgan Lee Miller)

    All the Paths to You (All the Worlds Between Us #2) by Morgan Lee Miller

    • Publisher: Bold Strokes Books, 2020
    • Genre: Romance, LGBTQ+
    • Format: Paperback (eARC)
    • Page Count: 242 pages
    • My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

    Quinn Hughes and Kennedy Reed had known each other since they were seven. Before heading off to college, they made a pact: if their paths crossed again after college, they would try to date each other again.

    At twenty three, Quinn was heading to Tokyo Olympics for five swimming events. Right before she left San Francisco, East-Coast Kennedy happened to visit the city and sparks flew. That had to be a sign that they should date again, right?

    Post-Olympics Quinn was not a happy Quinn, but she had Kennedy. As everything else in Quinn’s life came crashing down, would Kennedy be her anchor, or would she lose everything she had ever wanted?

    The moral lesson here is to treat everyone kindly. You never know if any of your actions would create a deep gash in another person’s heart. Also, do what you must. Time never waits.

    Keeping Long Island by Courtney Peppernell

    8th June 2018
    Cover of Keeping Long Island (Courtney Peppernell)

    Keeping Long Island by Courtney Peppernell

    • Publisher: Pepper Books, 2017
    • Genre: Romance, LGBTQ+
    • Format: Ebook
    • Page Count: 268 pages
    • My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

    Wow.

    This book deserves so much more attention! I finished it in less than a day and was left feeling very, very loved. It was written in a similar format as The Perks of Being a Wallflower was, as both protagonists dealt with mental health issues by writing letters to strangers, but that is not to say that these books were at all alike in contents.

    One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey

    4th May 2018
    Cover of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Ken Kesey)

    One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey

    • Publisher: Penguin Classics, 2006
    • Genre: Classics
    • Format: Mass-Market Paperback
    • Page Count: 393 pages
    • My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

    I never thought I’d enjoy the book this much. Considering it was first published back in 1962 with its historical background, I think One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is thrilling and great in a rebellious way, even if the characters were a bit gender discriminating sometimes.

About Me

Lí-hó!! I am Hsinju (they/she), a Taiwanese book blogger, writer, and full-time grad student in engineering. Here, I mainly review books featuring authentically represented LGBTQ+ characters and/or written by LGBTQ+ authors. You’d usually find me going about life with my heart stuck in the last book I finished.
