My hands down favorite read in August was All Adults Here. I was having trouble connecting to many of the books I was reading. Perhaps my expectations were too high, or my reading was too interspersed with stressful happenings in my life, maybe I was just in a reading slump. Whatever the case, All Adults

Rating: 4/5 Continuing my Sarah Dessen backlist kick, I picked this book up in early June while I was travelling to visit family.

Rating: 3/5 Rao’s debut novel, Purple Lotus, has a lot of good story in it. Unfortunately for me, the execution did not meet the high bar raised by the plot.
