I am always excited to read any novel from Jamie McGuire. This novella drew me in and I definitely found myself relating to Erin Easter in some ways. There is a serious topic in this book that hit pretty close to home with me, bullying. The main character Erin puts up with daily tormenting for years and not to mention living in a house with a neglectful mother, who shows her no love. I felt her inner pain, but I loved how brave she remained in the face of her tormentors and how strong she was even though coming from a broken home.Then there is Wes, the young man trying to capture Erin's affections. He was cute, kind, and endearing. He did stick up for Erin from his former friends and ex-girlfriend, but I was kind of disappointed that he just now to Erin's rescue. She was being bullied since middle school, and they're are now seniors. Where was he all those years before? His excuse didn't really sit with me well. I did enjoy watching romance bloom between Erin and Wes. They were both kindred spirits.I have to admit the ending left me feeling a little weird. I won't go into detail because I don't want to spoil it. I will say that I didn't see it coming, but I am just not sure about it. This is supposed to be a three part series, so I am curious what will be in store for these characters? Mmm..
