***NOTE: This review is for the second book in a series and may contain spoilers for Removed, the first book. Click here to read my review of Removed.*** Released is the second book in Pajonas’s unique dystopian Nojiku series.

There was something completely wonderful and irresistible about The Boys of Summer. It was the type of book that made me remember young love – sometimes fondly and sometimes with a slight cringe. 🙂 The synopsis explains to book pretty well, so I’ll get right to my review. The negatives: Lack of communication. If you read my reviews often, you know that one of my pet peeves is when a couple has problems based solely […]
