Bright Side by Kim Holden

Secrets.
Everyone has one.
Some are bigger than others.
And when secrets are revealed,
Some will heal you ...
And some will end you.

Kate Sedgwick’s life has been anything but typical. She’s endured hardship and tragedy, but throughout it all she remains happy and optimistic (there’s a reason her best friend Gus calls her Bright Side). Kate is strong-willed, funny, smart, and musically gifted. She’s also never believed in love. So when Kate leaves San Diego to attend college in the small town of Grant, Minnesota, the last thing she expects is to fall in love with Keller Banks.

They both feel it.
But they each have a reason to fight it.
They each have a secret.

And when secrets are revealed,
Some will heal you …
And some will end you.

Review:

First of all!
This quote is everything!
"Honestly, I try not to think about the future too much. I'm a huge fan of the present. [...] I'm not saying you shouldn't pursue dreams and goals. Just don't forsake the present for the unknowns of the future. A lot of happiness is bypassed, overlooked, postponed to a time years from now that may never come. Don't bide your time and miss out on this moment for a tomorrow with no guarantee."

I finished this book doing what I knew I would going in. Crying. Happy or sad you'll have to read and find out. I got this book from a list somewhere from books that will break you or make you cry or whatever. I like to torture myself apparently, it's fine. No. This book was beautiful and full of life lessons. I nodded along with statements, I cheered for my favorites, I wrapped myself in sweat pants and a sweatshirt (I live in Texas, it's 90 something degrees) But there was snow in the book, and I felt it. I love these characters more than you can imagine ;) As I write this I'm listening to a song mentioned at the end by Passenger (don't try to figure it out until you've read it, you'll just ruin it for yourself). That being said I knew certain things as I was reading, she doesn't try to hide it from you that much. The secret isn't really what kills you. I mean yeah it does, but it's the connections with the characters. It's the experiences these characters go through and what they survived. It's the raw emotion bleeding through the pages begging you to feel, to listen, and to take notice. This book. Oh man. This book. I'll smile at it every time I look at it. I will read more by this author. Probably all of them if we're being honest. Because <3.

Do epic.
You Are Brave.

Thank you Kim Holden for this beautiful book <3

The Martian By Andy Weir!!!

The Martian by Andy Weir Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won’t have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old “human error” are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark isn’t ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills — and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit — he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him? Review: I finally read this book after numerous friends tol...

The Queen's Rising Series by Rebecca Ross

I loved this series! I never wanted it to end! Rebecca Ross has an amazing writing style that pulls you into the story and won't let go. There's mystery which I love. I enjoy having something to figure out, and the author being able to keep the truth hidden until the end. Guessing is obviously my favorite, but I thoroughly enjoy being wrong at the end. ;) If you love fantasy and great storytelling, jump into this two book series! I can't wait to read more of her writing! The Queen's Rising When her seventeenth summer solstice arrives, Brienna desires only two things: to master her passion and to be chosen by a patron. Growing up in the southern kingdom of Valenia at the renowned Magnalia House should have prepared her. While some are born with a talent for one of the five passions—art, music, dramatics, wit, and knowledge—Brienna struggled to find hers until she chose knowledge. However, despite all her preparations, Brienna’s greatest fear comes true: she is left wi...
