Even though I couldn't see half the movie through my tears, I'm confident in my belief that "Love, Simon" is one of the best movies ever made and should be considered the "Breakfast Club" of our generation. A break from the traditional indie film, "Love, Simon" is long overdue and gives gay teens the...

The "Legend" trilogy is basically a combination of the "Hunger Games," "Divergent" and awesome. Marie Lu is my new favorite author -- seriously. The series consists of three books, "Legend," "Prodigy" and "Champion." Each of these books is amazing. "Legend" is told from two points of view -- June's...

The Twilight series is quite possibly the worst YA series I've read in my entire life. Yes, I said it, and I'll probably get some hate for this, because people either love Twilight or hate it. And yes, the movies were awful, but I'm going to tell you why I believe that the books never should have...

What's better than a Hallmark-esque Christmas romance? Three Hallmark-esque Christmas romances. That's the gist of "Let It Snow," a three-part holiday romance, with each story written by a different author, and all tied together in one story. The defining aspect of this book is the fact that one part...

Wind River is written and directed by Taylor Sheridan, writer of Sicario, and stars Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, and mostly unknown actors. If you’ve read my review of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, you know that that film was, in my opinion, the best of the year. However, Wind River is ...
