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.

Emma reviews: IT ENDS WITH US by Colleen Hoover

IT ENDS WITH US by Colleen Hoover The newest, highly anticipated novel from beloved #1  New York Times  bestselling author, Colleen Hoover. Sometimes it is the one who loves you who hurts you the most. Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true. Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder wh...

Detective Kate Covington Series By Billie Reece

A Lullaby In The Dark A Southern Crime Thriller Ten years ago, a child serial killer—dubbed the Lullaby Man—confessed to abducting and murdering four young girls. Now in a maximum-security psychiatric hospital in East Tennessee, he’s visited regularly by Kate Covington, the detective who put him there, who won’t close the investigation until the remains of the first victim are found. Then a little girl goes missing while hiking in the woods with her dad, and Kate is called in to help. The evidence is chillingly familiar—the same photo of the girl’s tear-stained face, a letter with the same message, a smiley face, an old doll. Did they lock up the wrong guy? Is it a copycat crime? Or is something more sinister at play? Each turn of the investigation brings more questions than answers, and Kate and her team have limited time to figure out who kidnapped the girl. Is the real Lullaby Man about to claim his next victim? Review:   A great story of the trial of human nature. Fi...
