Review: Emmy & Oliver by Robin Benway

 Here is a summary of what the book is about.  Emmy and Oliver were going to be best friends forever, or maybe even more, before their futures were ripped apart.  In Emmy's soul, despite the space and time between them, their connection has never been severed. But is their story still written in the stars? Or are their hearts like the pieces of two different puzzles- impossible to fit together?

Emmy just wants to be in charge of her own life.... She wants to stay out late, surf her favorite beach- go anywhere without her parents' relentless worrying. But Emmy's parents can't seem to let  her grow up- not since the day Oliver disappeared.

Oliver needs a moment to figure out his heart.... He'd thought, all these years, that  his dad was a good guy. He never knew that it was his father who had kidnapped him and kept him on the run.

Discovering it, and finding himself returned to his old hometown, all at once, has his heart racing, and his thoughts swirling.

Readers will devour theses pages with hearts in throats as Emmy and Oliver struggle to face the messy, confusing consequences of Oliver's father's crime. Full of romance, coming-of-age emotion, and heartache, these two equally compelling characters create an unforgettable  story.

Wow  what an amazing story. I thought it was written very well.

I found this book to be a real page turner. It was cute and sweet. I couldn't put it down.

My husband bought this book for me as a gift and I fell in love with the cover.

I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.

Happy Reading Everyone!

Review: That Night by Cecily Wolfe

Here is a summary of what the book is about. Drug overdoses don't happen to girls with good grades and athletic prowess, with longtime friends and a devoted boyfriend. Or do they?

When high school seniors Cassidy and Sarah, along with Kayla's boyfriend Paul, discover their best friend Kayla unconscious at a party, the idea that they have lost her to a heroin overdose is unbelievable. She didn't  use drugs, except the pain medicine prescribed for a soccer injury, and she had no reason to accept any from a stranger.

The month that follows her death is filled with anxiety, sadness, frustration, and questions. Answers won't bring Kayla back, however, so as Cass and Sarah struggle with the insensitive but predictable behavior of parents, classmates, and teachers, Paul falls into a depression that leads him down a dangerous path.

With Kayla's  younger sister Mia in mind, the three of them work towards forging ahead without the girl who has held them together since elementary school.

I found this book to be a difficult read because it talks about a very heavy topic.

I believe this topic does not get talked about enough in the world today.

We all know that drug overdose does happen but you wouldn't think it would  happen to girls.

I thought the author did a great job writing the story. I look forward to reading more books by her.

Happy Reading Everyone!

Review: Wonder by R.J. Palacio

Here is a summary of what the book is about. "I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse." August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up till now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school.

Staring 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid-but his new classmates can't get past Auggie's extraordinary face.

Wow what an amazing book. I am so glad I bought it.

It is truly an inspirational story. It has great life lessons throughout the story.

This book is a little reminder to always choose kindness and also not to judge people.

If we all choose kindness the world would be a better place.

If I could I would give this book a 20 stars rating or more.

Happy Reading Everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I am thankful that God has blessed me with a wonderful husband. I am also thankful that we are closer to our families now.  So lets eat a lot of turkey and all that comes with it.  I am very excited about this Thanksgiving because I get to spend it with my dad. It has been a lot of years since we have had a Thanksgiving together. My dad was very busy with his job when I was growing up so he would sometimes be out of town.  Enjoy today and always.
