Super great YA Romance!

Just the prologue and I’m already invested! Ainsley and her family have their lives turned upside down when her father is arrested for embezzlement. They leave their private school in California and move in with the grandparents in Ohio. New school, new friends and all the things that go along with that for teenagers. This is a great story full of growth, resilience and strength. While Ainsley, her siblings and friends navigate through some difficult situations and grow in the process. This is a quick listen (or read) with character connections from the very start. My only complaint is the ending wrapped up so quick and then was just over, but I often find myself wanting more when the story is engaging.

Loss

Things We Should Forget is a really great book about love, losing everything and heartbreak. Being a teenager and having her family start all over again after her dad got put in prison for embezzlement. This book covers so many issues that teens deal with everyday that many people never have to live through.
