Honest Book Pitches
Yeah, sure, we all read the blurbs on the back covers of books. But do those really tell us what we want to know? I, C.J., have taken it upon myself to reveal the truth about a number of popular books. And yes, this is going to be highly sarcastic, and also these are all books that I enjoy, so don't @ me with "you're so mean!" because I will chuckle. (For more extensive honesty, check out my Book Breakdowns on instagram.)
