I was one of the readers that waited up for and read Happenstance on release night.  I am so glad that I did! I had to wait until the next morning to write my review because it took me that long to be able to form coherent sentences that consisted of more than, "Wow.. Just.. Wow.. Holy crap.. OMG!" Here I am, the next morning, and I am trying to figure out the right word to describe how much I absolutely LOVE this novella! I really do not think such a word exists because "love" is far too weak of a word.Two of the three Erin's (Alder and Sonny) are mean, bratty, spoiled rich kids that can do no wrong.  Their circle of friends is exactly the same.The third Erin (Easter) is the girl from the "wrong side of the tracks." She does not have money, she does not have the perfect  home life, and she has no friends.  Alder, Sonny, and their group of jerk friends all make it a game to torture Easter, whom stays strong in the face of the constant bullying.Weston is the all-around, all-star athlete. He is a four-year letterman in baseball, basketball, and football. His parents are perfect, his home is perfect, and his five year relationship with Alder is perfect, or so it seems.This novella is so beautifully written and extremely powerful.  It is easily relatable to everyone (I mean, who hasn't been bullied at one time or another? ). This is going to sound cliché, but I laughed, cried, smiled, frowned, and got downright mad all in the course of this awesome story.  I am now anxiously awaiting Happenstance 2 and 3, along with when they are all put together and available in paperback! This will most definitely be my number one go-to when I need something to read.I promise you, this novella is most definitely worth the $2.99!Jamie McGuire: you are a complete and total ROCKSTAR!! Please never stop writing!
