Brooke Pawling Stennett is a college student pursuing a degree in Multimedia Journalism and Creative Non-Fiction in the old Windy City. She tends to lean toward the obsessive side of the tracks when it comes to books and music. She's an avid concert attendee (or at least she tries to!) and rambler. She'd like to travel the world and write about it, but in the only ways she knows how: sarcastically and full of internet jargon. Her opinions are her best ones, especially if they involve boy-bands and Netflix. . .even though she doesn't even have her own account. You can tweet her at @br_stennett and tell her how ridiculous (and totally great!) her opinions are.

Music Review: Lana Del Rey Releases New Album ‘Honeymoon’

Honeymoon captures the neon signs of the west, and the desperation of the love that captures the world at large, all wrapped up in a stunning bow that fills us with more angst than joy. The good kind of angst, though. Del Rey is always the queen of the ache in your chest, where your pure white pearls rest against it.
