I just finished Because of Ellison and I just loved it.  I have one word to describe this and it is WOW.  I knew already that this story was going to get me but I just didn’t know how until I finished it.  This is one of the ones that you just simply have to read.  I honestly do not want to give any spoilers because it could take away from your experience but man, you do not want to pass this up.At the beginning of the book you read about Hunter discovering the cure for cancer.  He is an older man now and he is at a podium explaining how it became that he found a cure.  You think that he is going to talk about all of his accomplishments, but no.  He had me at...It was because of Ellison.Hunter at 19 is a genius.  He is already expected to go great things but because of non existent parents, he is spiraling out of control with alcohol and drugs.  His parents intervene and send him off to his Uncle Bill and his cousin Lily for the summer.  He is a privilege boy that is going to see his family that he hasn’t seen in years that do not have much.  What an eye opener for him.  This is where he meets Ellison.  She lives next door to Bill and Lily.  This is where I would go into a little bit more but Im going to stop, YOU HAVE TO READ IT NOW!!!Ellison is a doll.  She is very loyal, sweet and she is a spitfire.  She takes no ones crap and is all about getting even! (wink)  She has already been put through some obstacles in her life and Hunter showing up at times doesn’t make it any better.  But what comes with patience then comes to understanding and that is what I love most about her.Hunter is a good kid.  I didn’t like him very much at first.  What was to like?  He was a spoiled rich kid that thought he deserved everything handed to him on a silver platter.  He really learned valuable lessons when he was there with them and it completely changed him into a better young man.  I love him for that.  For someone that can change into something better always has a place in my heart.  Ellison and Hunter had great chemistry and just loved every bit of it.I also loved the secondary characters involved in this story.  Bill, Henry, Ryan, Lily, Finn and even Sasha and Bear.  They all had pivotal moments in this story that made it all the better.  I honestly couldn’t have asked for more.You will have so many emotions when reading this.  Once you think one thing is going to happen, and then something else does.  It was such a roller coaster ride that I am encouraging, hell even pushing you to get on!  It was inspiring, intriguing, heartbreaking and just one of the best stories that I have read to date.  You do not want to miss out on this one.  Anything that M S Willis writes I can tell you that I am SOOOO THERE!!!Get this one, you will not regret it!Reviewed by Beggin from Mommy’s a Book Whore
