![]() ![]() Blake allows her characters to make mistakes and reach their own conclusions without passing judgments on them, in a story written with realism and sensitivity. Blake ( Suffer Love) skillfully assembles a complex story about the wonders of first love while exploring challenges all teenagers face, such as growing up and gaining independence. ![]() ![]() But as Grace learns about Eva’s tragic past and watches her mother forge a friendship with Eva built on grief, Grace’s tenuously constructed world begins to crumble as her mother sets her up to fail, both consciously and unconsciously. When Grace meets Eva on the beach, the attraction is instant. Her alcoholic and unstable mother, Maggie, has never fully recovered from the death of Grace’s father 15 years earlier, and she can’t hold a job or home long enough for Grace to feel safe. I ended up DNF’ing House of Sky and Breath by SJM - I liked the first book but this one dragged way too much for me to want to finish it. If 17-year-old piano prodigy Grace’s only problem were her upcoming audition for the prestigious Manhattan School of Music, her life would be simple. This week I only read one book Delilah Green Doesn’t Care by Ashley Herring Blake which was a super cute sapphic romance. ![]()
