Furthermore was one of my favorite books of last year and so I shook with joy when this was handed to me. While still a great book, it didn’t live up to Furthermore for me.  And, as a bookseller, I am incredibly confused by this book because I am not sure how to sell it.  It is incredibly …

September 24, 2017

I had such high hopes for this book and it just didn’t live up to them. I was really excited by the concept: a loser dragon tries to find a partner before graduation.  What I ended up getting was a book that spent too much time focusing on one day and using a made up …
