YA fiction 

All This Time by Mikki Daughtry

Kyle thought that he had everything. A perfect girlfriend, Kimberly, plans for college, and a high-ride football lifestyle. That was until Kimberly reveals a hidden secret and a fatal crash leaves Kimberly dead, and Kyle having to redirect his entire life. Then Marley comes around. She is suffering from her own loss and doesn't think anyone can hear her except for Kyle. Their lives intertwine, and their true feelings help each other heal their pasts. Two broken hearts, a beautiful love story, and a twist of magic. 


I had a feeling that this book was going to be epic because I went through a whole Five Feet Apart phase after reading that book from these same two authors, but I was still surprised by how good this book ended up being. This was defiantly my first five-star read of the year! There were many twists and magical aspects that I didn't expect, but they really added to the storyline and plot. I mean, let's be honest, I was covering my mouth at some points, and crying at others. When it came to the characters from this story, I really felt connected to Marley, as her being a twin and wanting to be heard for her beautiful stories. She was this bright soul like Kyle until she wasn't. 


I loved the shorter length chapters and the idea of having your whole life planned out because that represents me in a nutshell. This book was lighthearted but also deeply thought through at the same time, and I wouldn't change a thing about it--besides the fact that it is going to leave a little scar in my heart, right next to the one that Five Feet Apart gave me. 


If you like YA fiction or just the classic magical romance, then this is the book for you! It is fast passed and personal on so many levels. Go check it out now! 


- P.S. I am really trying to aim for a larger yearly book goal than last year but I guess we will have to see. I am feeling confident though because I am already halfway through one of the harder school years in my life, lol (sophomore year), plus I have already four books this January!

Happy Place by Emily Henry

  Happy Place by Emily Henry   Romance I may have only read seven books this year so far, but I can confidently say that I am glad that Happy Place was one of those seven. Not only was this one of my favorite books I have read in a while, but it was also the most perfect refreshing book of the summer.  Emily Henry uses a common thread throughout her stories. Those threads are connected by time, time jumps, memories, etc. This story takes place between the now and the past of the protagonist, Harriet’s, summers in Knott’s Harbor, Maine. She and her five other friends travel back to Maine for a long-awaited reunion, but not all is right. Harriet, aka Harry, has recently split up with her ex-fiance, Wynn, and they haven’t told their friends yet. This story is heart-wrenching and heartwarming as it navigates the truth about change through growth, and how some secrets are better left unsaid. And the summer vibes are all there. From those sea breeze winds to small-town shopping...
