An emotional contemporary YA novel about love, loss, and having the courage to chase the life you truly want.Reeling from her mother's death, Georgia has a choice: become lost in her own pain, or enjoy life right now, while she still can. She decides to start really living for the first time and makes a list of fifteen ways to be brave - all the things she's wanted to do but never had the courage to try. As she begins doing the things she's always been afraid to do - including pursuing her secret crush, she discovers that life doesn't always go according to plan. Sometimes friendships fall apart and love breaks your heart. But once in a while, the right person shows up just when you need them most - and you learn that you're stronger and braver than you ever imagined.
In ” an Oyster Shell – A coming of age read that will leave you satisfied.
The Pearls – I don’t often comment much about the cover of books. This cover – however, is so poetic to the content of the book. It’s bright and colorful and artsy just like the main character. The story with the cover in itself, make a piece of art.
The main character was likable. The supporting characters really challenged her and made the story interesting. It was a strong cast of characters.
I liked the theme of this book, being brave and trying new things but sometimes those things come with consequences. The MC learns this and owns it in the end. I think this book comes with a very powerful message.
The Sand – The tone of the book fell flat for me.
3.5 Pearls!
