“Banana Split For My Baby” Stay Sweet by Siobhan Vivian | 4.5 Star Review

Review: Stay Sweet by Siobhan Vivian Stay Sweet is a book all about teens and ice cream that belies it’s true feminist nature. Siobhan Vivian has put together a fantastic read that is just fluffy enough, just feminist enough, just romantic enough, and just nostalgic enough to make you feel all the summer feels. Stay Sweet centres on 17 year old Amelia Van Hagen, who’s been working at the local ice cream stand, Meade Creamery, for the last four summers. The stand is run entirely by girls, and steeped in girl-power traditions. Working at Meade Creamery means you work hard, […]

Dear blog…

…I apologize for ignoring you. I have been very busy at my day job, making money so that I can buy books to read and review for you. I have also been very busy learning many copy-editing skills so that I can maybe, possibly get a job in publishing where I can spend lots of time reading more books, and then posting on you. I have been even more busy trying to figure out ways to save money for my upcoming wedding and homeownership so that I can have a house with bookshelves to fill with books that I’ve reviewed. In […]
