Right from the start I immediately knew I would like Erin Easter. For someone to endure as much bullying as she does and push onward and never let them see her cry, that's a superpower in my book. She doesn't need a cape or or tights to show how strong she is. She proves that with her actions and words. Not everyone understand how tough it is when you get bullied when your young but Erin proves you can overcome it with your head held high.Happenstance warms your heart and reminds you that even in a short novella why we love McGuire's writing. She was able to deliver so much in with fewer words and I loved every single part. At one point I thought I knew what would happen in the story and what do you know, McGuire went somewhere else I didn't expect. Kuddos to that!You guys will love Weston, I have nothing bad to say about him except it was about time he woke up!  These two together go like peanut butter and jelly (cue peanut butter & jelly sound in my head now). Not sure why he didn't man up earlier and let those year waste with Easter, but in Happenstance he corrected that.I strongly suggest that YOU read Happenstance on May 9th. You won't regret it. This novella contains passion, sorrow, pain and happiness all bottled up under that beautiful book cover.  You will read it in one sitting, so make sure to not have anything pending or waiting on you when you begin reading it. Happy Reading!!! - Yara______Check out what some of the most trusted Indie book bloggers have to say about the first in a brand new novella series (via Jamie McGuire's Blog):"My head is spinning.

My heart is overfreakingjoyed." -- Kim Parker Easton"Erin Easter captured my heart with her resilience and determination. Her story is not only one of coincidence, but of significance. Jamie McGuire made Erin's story relatable to readers across the board. It carries a strong message of hope, survival and ... love. Don't miss out on your chance to experience HAPPENSTANCE.
