Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage

1 star I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I’m sorry to say that I absolutely hated it. Great cover, but I disliked nearly everything inside it. For one thing, I found it extremely boring. It is very drawn out. I stuck with it, hoping there would be an…

Each Pokemon is described by category, height, weight, and type as well as a short blurb with other unique abilities. Many of…
