I really liked this book, even though I accidentally read the sequel “The Summer Between Us” first.
This booked touched on many things that teens face on a daily basis such as body shaming, bullying, and poor self-esteem. I like how the main character was male and highlights how young men can also have eating disorders. It shows how easily a disorder can take over when you have been exposed to a negative and environment. I give this book a 4/5.

I read yet another #freebook entitled Our Mom is Sick- Really Really Sick But She Rocks by Angela Parker-Brown given to me @digitallylit, @nimbuspub, and @potterfeildpub. In This short story, the two main characters are Angela’s twins Paris and Parker, find out that their mom is sick- really really sick but still finds time to things they love such as giving hugs and cuddles. This book is primarily set in Truro, Nova Scotia but in the early days of Angela disease they would go to Halifax for the day.

I found this book to be interesting but not for me. I thought that the characters were well-rounded and likeable but the dialogue between the two sisters hard to read. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about ALS which stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

I rate it 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

I just finished yet another #freebook entitled Worthy of Love by Andre Fenton given to me from digitally lit and formac publishing. Also a huge thank you to Andre Fenton for writing this wonderful book!

This book follows Adrian Carter, who is a teen living in the West end of Halifax. He has a lot of issues with how he looks and wants to change so he takes up kickboxing and meets Mel, who has her own issues, but when things change is it for better or worse?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved how the writing felt so real and how I could imagine the characters. I just could not put down this book! Not only is the Author from Nova Scoria but also the setting is set in Halifax which is a part of Nova Scotia. My favourite part was when Mel and Adrian first met up at the coffee shop to exchange the albums Mel wanted!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 stars
