Book Review: Straight Expectations, by Calum McSwiggan
“You know what? I wish I could have what you have, Alicia. I wish I could be one of the normal kids.” “Oh, grow up, Max,” Dean says. He actually looks at me with disgust. “You know what,” I say, grabbing the friendship bracelet on my wrist and pulling with all my strength. “I wish we were never even friends.” I look Dean dead in the eye as I say it, and, as the bracelet snaps, I feel something snap inside me too.
Book Review: Lesser Known Monsters, by Rory Michaelson
"It is the eleventh of October, at four twenty-three in the morning. The weather in London is overcast with a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius (48.2 degrees Fahrenheit if you're into that sort of thing). There has been mild precipitation; this is England, after all. Oh, and the world is ending. The world is ending, and it is due to the choices of a young man named Oscar Tundale. He is entirely average in many ways and less than average in more. This is the story of why the world is ending. And how Oscar let it happen."
Book Review: The Very Nice Box, by Laura Blackett and Eve Gleichman
"She took another bite. She felt a small residual guilt over having left Jaime downstairs, but she would give herself this — this small pleasure. She would allow herself to drop her sad lunch into an Accommodating Garbage Bin. She would allow herself the gift of a well-assembled medium-rare cheeseburger. She would allow herself the coveted position of the corner table of the cafeteria. And she would allow herself to once again feel a small but perceivable joy at the fact that Mat had clearly not wanted to discuss work — he had simply wanted to eat lunch with her."
