I love when family is strongly involved in YA and when she manages to get her romances right with characters I like I always end up loving West's books so fingers crossed I'll enjoy this one.Becky Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938602345709426466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-45674599960108215472018-05-31T15:04:41.162-04:002018-05-31T15:04:41.162-04:00She writes the perfect YA romances for me.
