Who Wants to Live Forever by Hanna Thomas Uose
One of the most thought-provoking debuts I have read. Had the ending worked better for me, I'd have gone even higher in my rating.

Bitter Greens by Kate Forsyth
This ambitious Rapunzel retelling is outstanding in historical research, but the writing choices and the gratuitous adult content didn't make me happy.

Billie's Not So Secret Diary (billiesnotsosecretdiary) | 257 comments The Shadow Bride by Shelby Mahurin The Shadow Bride (The Scarlet Veil, #2) by Shelby Mahurin was a good ending to this series, but sadly it's aimed at YA, but has an adult scene that's a little too descriptive, so now it's not suitable for YA! (and I took a star away)

Don't Tell Me How to Die by Marshall Karp
I was an outlier for this "thriller", which felt more like a family drama.
