Hey y’all! I’m Becky. I’m 16-years-old and a high school junior. I’m super excited to be back for my third year on the Teen Board. I’m a big fan of beaches, Bigfoot and (you’ll never guess this) books. Besides reading and homework, I spend my time catching up on sleep, hanging out with friends, scrolling through my Instagram feed and playing the flute with my band fam. I’m really excited to be on the Teen Board again this year, and I can’t wait to share my reviews with you.

I'm 17 years old and have been a literary enthusiast since infancy (thanks, Mom!). Aside from my love of reading and writing, I have a variety of interests. They include, but are not limited to, music, competitive sports, performing arts, anything outdoors, movies and video games, travel, fashion and everything Jane Austen. I am excited to be on the Teen Board and look forward to the experience.

Hi! My name is Kaleigh and I am currently a sophomore in high school. I developed a passion for reading after being introduced to the young adult genre and ever since then books have become an important part of my life. To me, reading is a very relaxing hobby because you can escape reality and focus on the characters' lives rather than your own. Besides reading, I also enjoy playing basketball and volleyball, listening to K-pop (BTS and Got7) and eating food, as well as watching YouTube and Korean dramas.

In your so-called dreary life, all the rainbow colors are there --- just close your eyes and dream them. Soon enough they will be real, if you believe in your own colors.

When I worked at Mademoiselle, the Barbizon Hotel was legendary as our Guest Editors stayed there. Thus, when THE DOLLHOUSE by Fiona Davis came across my desk, I was eager to read it. The history of the hotel is woven into a modern-day story. When the hotel was converted into high-end condos, a limited number of apartments were allocated for longtime residents. A story about one of these fictitious tenants, Darby McLaughlin, forms one of the narratives in the book. The other is of a modern-day woman, Rose Lewin, who is at a crossroads in her life. How their stories intertwine includes a mystery that has its roots back in the 1950s.
