Say something else, I swear!” Livvy steps nose to nose with Gia. “When it comes down to it, I don’t need an excuse to whoop your ass. We already got beef. But my patience wears thin when bitches get racist. Ask your friend Hailey. Ask your friend Paul. Ask your friend Sean.”

Big thank you to Harper Teen & Harper Audio for my gifted copy of this book. All opinions are my own. *** Quinn’s relationship with her parents was definitely a great part in the book but she struggles with being open to her parents about a lot of things. How is this family’s relationship going to grow and what will be each person’s role in doing just that? Read to find out.After surviving a suicide attempt, a fragile teen isn't sure she can endure without cutting herself. The writing was adorable, witty and just plain entertaining. Overall, this book was extremely fun to binge and if I had thought of being swallowed by blankets and with a cup of tea beforehand, it would've been the perfect setting to read this in and experience the sweet nothings of the romance and friendship included within it. Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Audio for the digital review copy. As a note, this audio was a synthetic voice and was actually quite good! After the first few minutes, for the most part, I forgot that I was listening to a synthetic voice altogether and was wholly impressed with the quality and would definitely recommend this digital review copy to those who are interested. Welcome! We’re Marie (she/her) and Nyx (she/her), two sisters screaming about books at each other and now with you, too. We love books, traveling and we’re both marshmallows, basically. Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a look around and let’s chat! I liked how he had these flaws that almost broke the romance, especially making him realistic (not, I have never met someone like him. But to be honest, I go out once every two months) I wanted to shake him so badly because some things he did were close to unforgivable, and THEN he would proceed to insert his gorgeous face into the argument and say a few words and bam, Booksy forgives. I'm seriously not this forgivable in real life. He is making me soft, and I hate it. The rough yet gentle tone of his voice, combined with descriptions of his ethereal being- okay, I'll stop. Too many compliments, he already has a big enough head without my wonderful input.
Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry - Reading Middle Grade Review | Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry - Reading Middle Grade
I've come to realize, that the more unrealistic, over the top, and basically all over the place a rom com is, the better chance there is of me loving it. See, when you first start a book such as this one you already know what's gonna happen. The plot is obvious, the romance is slightly predictable, you basically guess every twist. Overall you're not expecting much. However, you probably end up reading said book, and falling endlessly in love with it. Why? Well, because to be honest, we are all trash for romance. And that comes from a girl who abhors useless romance where it's not needed, or tolerable. There’s one tiny little thing that left me… hanging a little bit, if you will, in this story. Without spoiling anything for you all, I just wanted to see a little bit more of a resolution with one of the characters, Matt. I feel like he was a bit forgotten by the end of the book and, I don’t know, I wanted more!
Seriously, how could you not see a scenario where your notebook would get stolen and thrust into the world's womb without knowing? Alas, burning its fragile self with the lava of the pits of hell. I honestly *slides out machine gun* want to have a small talk with you. You were resilient, a tad bit idiotic and just a small pinch of stupidity was added to your whole persona. Yeah, I liked your existence. One thing that I liked was her strength and compassion, obviously hated the latter in most instances, but I could see the potential. All in all, if you were on a cliff and I had the option to save you, I would throw you a shoelace and if it snapped, oh well. Not that big of a loss.

Books like this one are why I doubt I'll ever "grow out" of YA. They're a joy to read at any age. And now I think I sound older than 22-MOVING ON. The characters all seem like real people so it's not hard to connect with their struggles and (ugly) cry along with them. And I did cry. A lot.Secrets are a major theme in Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry. What kinds of secrets are harmful? What kinds of secrets are useful? Quinn is a high school senior who makes lists of things she wants to do, things she's too scared to do, things she's done and is ashamed of and a bunch of miscellaneous ones as well.
EXCUSE ME WHILE I UGLY CRY | Kirkus Reviews
Excuse me while I gush about how much I love this book. Also, the covers for this book are absolutely gorgeous. Talking about book covers has apparently become my thing now. The dynamic and conversation between the friend group were at both insightful and dramatic. I felt that. Harlow Shaw feels naïve for believing in happily ever afters but she craves a love that lights her up. A fun, emotionally rich romance. Alongside the thrills and messiness of young love, Joya Goffney explores themes of bravery, friendship, and race. In Quinn, she creates a sweet, imperfect character who will win your heart. Liara TamaniPowerful, boundary pushing, and charmingly funny.” —Camryn Garrett, author of Full Disclosure and Off the Record
