Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner | Review

Review: Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner To read Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner is to go through the entire grief process. To mourn, to rage, to laugh, to remember, and to hold and release. It’s a reading experience that I’ve not had with many books, and I’m not sure I’ll have again.

And then Theo moved away, moved on with another guy, and Griffin was devastated. But not as devastated as now – because Theo is dead now, and Griffin has […]

Waiting on Wednesday: The Way Back to You by Michelle Andreani & Mindi Scott

Last week, Vilma from Vilma’s Book Blog posted the cover to The Way Back to You, a gorgeous upcoming YA contemp by Michelle Andreani and Mindi Scott and I fell in love. Then I read the synopsis and fell in love even more. I haven’t read anything by these two authors, but road trip, friendship-to-possible-romance, a quest, self-discovery after mourning…this book hits so many of my YA-need-it-now buttons. May 2016…you are killing it with the upcoming releases. Are you waiting to read The Way Back to You? What are the phrases or concepts that hit your YA-need-it-now buttons? What are you […]
