We‘re just about to roll into day 10 of #AugustARC and here is my progress so far! My ratings have been all over the place, but mostly on the high end of the bar. My favourites so far include The Dream Daughter, Just Like Home, Widow Falls, andThe High Tide Club.
Least favourite was easily Secret Seduction, which was a surprise for me, since I normally like Jill Sanders books.
pickComet is extremely shy and loves to disappear into a really good book. Despite being shy she loves to wear quirky outfits because that‘s who she is and she also loves to write poems but hasn‘t shared them with anyone. Then enters American boy, Tobias King.
This was such a moving story about first love and learning that each relationship has it troubles. I loved how Comet grew as a character. i couldn‘t put this book down.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pick🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 my first Samantha Young book. Loved it. Wish I was reading this kind of YA when I was in high school
And because Samantha Young seemed to work for me, I moved onto her newest teen book that happened to be in my large bag of books:
“Much to my disturbance, I discovered that just because you tell yourself you can‘t possibly be attracted to a Neanderthal, doesn‘t mean you suddenly stop being attracted to a Neanderthal.”
It has odd similarities to Fight or Flight but it worked well enough for me to last me the rest of our trip until the drive home.
pickA great #romantsy. What I love about YA novels is that they look unflinchingly at the hard parts of being a teenage while still viewing the characters (both the heroes and the “villains”) with compassion.
