Hello everyone, Victoria here! Today I'm going to be reviewing Letting Go of Gravity by Meg Leder! * I GOT THIS AS AN ARC TO REVIEW FOR MY LOCAL BOOKSTORE. ITS EXPECTED PUBLICATION IS JULY 17, 2018*  Letting Go of Gravity By: Meg Leder Rating: 3/5 stars Synopsis: " Twins Parker and Charlie are polar opposites.

Hey everyone, Victoria here! Today I'm going to be reviewing Brain on Fire by Susannah Cahalan! Brain on Fire By: Susannah Cahalan Rating: 4.5/5 stars Synopsis: " When twenty-four-year-old Susannah Cahalan woke up alone in a hospital room, strapped to her bed and unable to move or speak, she had no memory of how she’d gotten there. Days earlier, she had been on the threshold of a new, adult life: at the beginning of her first serious relationship and a promising career at a major New York newspaper. Now she was labeled violent, psychotic, a flight risk. What happened?
