Lying Out Loud by Kody Keplinger
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


When I read The DUFF, I was shocked how much I liked it, so I wanted to try some more of the books by the author. Lying Out Loud has been on my shelves forever, and I decided it was time to give it a try.

I was instantly brought into the story with Amy and Sonny. I was laughing and smiling within the first few pages and I was just instantly brought into their stories. This does deal with friendship, loss, abandonment, and teenage love. Sonny is also dealing with several series issues within her own family life. These issues brought the emotional touch to the story as well.

Yes, this is YA. Yes, it was predictable, and yes, it was not anything that will blow you away. But, it was also just a fun and quick read. I loved it. It was exactly what I needed right now. I again was pleasantly surprised with this one and look forward to reading more from Kody Keplinger.

The Silent Waters by Brittainy C. Cherry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"The world keeps spinning because your heartbeat exists."

This is the third book in the Elements series and can be read as a standalone. I have read the other three and loved them, and decided it was time to finish the series. I do not why I waited so long.

I highly recommend going into this blind, as it will just make the story that much better. Yes, there were things that happen that were predictable. However; it did not take away from the emotional impact the story will take on you. I was waiting for what happened, knowing it was going to come, and I still balled my eyes out (you will know what I am talking about when you read this).

I loved the love between Maggie and Brooks. This was not just about a romance, but about family. The parts with Maggie’s father, mother, and sister were also very emotional! I was hooked the moment I started this one, and I read it in one sitting. Be prepared to stay up all night to finish this and for your heart to break.

Overall, I loved this!

On Magnolia Lane by Denise Hunter

On Magnolia Lane by Denise Hunter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am in love with Denise Hunter and the Blue Ridge series. I was excited to get an advance copy of On Magnolia Lane, but when it was running behind on getting to me I went ahead and bought my own copy of this as well since I could not wait to read it!

This is actually the third book in the Blue Ridge series, and I had no clue it was the last. I think this was a great conclusion to the series though. It can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the series in order to have a better love for the characters.

This had everything that I love about Denise Hunter: friendship, love, faith, and so much more. Her writing is just flows together and you will get lost in the story about Daisey and Jack.

If you love romance, pick up this series.
