Bright Side by Kim Holden!!!!

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

Hey guys!! We thought it'd be fun to do a new releases post!! So our "problem" is that we LOVE reading so much that when new books get released we buy all of them too.

Another "problem" now that I've made this post, I really need to go to Barnes and Noble and buy ALL of these beautiful books!!!!! Look at these new beauties!!
