Gen had a lot on her plate, and I felt like Pipkin did such an awesome job helping her navigate it all.

The author sounds like she's done a realistic story in terms of the characters and their situations -- some times, characters in YA can sound too grown up I think.Verushkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640500646511533020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-48966226723221116902017-07-07T15:11:18.751-04:002017-07-07T15:11:18.751-04:00I didn't expect to be this impressed, but I am...I didn't expect to be this impressed, but I am glad I was.Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-33909303229758942252017-07-07T14:46:10.761-04:002017-07-07T14:46:10.761-04:00Wow, this sounds like something truly different.

For me, it's a rare occurrence but I love when something random line just packs a punch and takes me by surprises. Like I am *there*, living it along with the character.

Along with her support network. Nice that the author seems to hit all the right notes with a story that has a lot of challenges for the MC. Thanks for sharing it!

I wasn't sure how I would feel about this one, because I really like fluff, and I did feel so much when I was reading this, but it was done in the right way. There was resolution and hope and I really enjoyed it. I understand book buying bans. I have been on one, but I can borrow from the library at will. 😉Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-28198104369011262372017-07-06T05:28:22.951-04:002017-07-06T05:28:22.951-04:00Lots of emotions!

I've heard nothing but amazing things about this one too, how powerful and well-written, and the issues are handled well. The format DOES seem like something I would enjoy too. Thanks for your review! I should just go ahead and buy it, but I know it won't be until review #20 that I do so (so far I think I'm at #6 lol).<br /><br />Cass @ <a href="http://wordsonpaperya.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Words on Paper</a>Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568646164849243366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-81680147181264453972017-07-06T01:55:53.885-04:002017-07-06T01:55:53.885-04:00This sounds like JUST my kind of book.
