Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* Wildman is such a touching story about a stranger’s understanding and the way you can connect to anyone. Wildman also deals with upholding expectations and how sometimes the best moments in life can catch you off guard. Wildman has been getting some MAJOR hype lately and was one of the main reasons I bought it, and it didn’t disappoint. It was such a great story and reminded me of Jeff Zentner’s The Serpent King . Both books will make you instantly fall in love and leave a lasting impression. This book was unique in its own way, and held me captive from the start. This book kept coming with new things to throw at the reader just when you thought they were good. The characters were super relatable and had depth to them. I also really loved the book’s cover because of how well it fits with the story and it is pleasing/intriguing to the eye. Not only is the dust jacket great, but the naked cover is awesome as well. This book checks off...
Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* This book was everything I never knew I wanted. A little dark with an irresistible romance that keeps you hooked from the first page. This was such a short book, 200 pages or so, and I wanted more! The writing style was outstanding and I loved the story-line. A mix between realistic fiction and mystery that is also a young adult contemporary novel. I really loved the effortless feel of this book, how it is such a simple concept and it read as if you were watching a movie. I finished this book in a day because of the length but also because of the way it demanded to be read in one sitting. I will definitely pick up any other book(s) from this author because of this book. Wasn’t very original and was very predictable, but I don’t care! I felt like I could relate to (some) of these characters and understood where they were coming from. This book made me ‘aww’ and made my heart race at all the right times. As you know I give out brown...
Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* On Edge is delightfully informative take on what it means to live with anxiety, and how to overcome it. This book made me realize how many people live with some form of day-to-day anxiety, whether it be big or small. Anxiety is more common than we think, and this book was a good read because it was very informative on what it is like to deal with it in every aspect of life. Petersen wrote about her struggles in work, home, and other areas of life, that seem so easy and simple to someone without a disorder like anxiety, but can be very hard for someone like Andrea. She also writes about the changes in treatment and awareness from the 80’s to now. I’m glad she wrote this book because it shows that even though you think you aren’t in control, you can harness your affliction and turn it into something positive. This book also shows that you can still be successful even if you are dealing with something like anxiety. I think that anxiet...
