ARC Review: You'd Be Mine by Erin Hahn

I was lucky enough to score an ARC of You'd Be Mine. I had no idea what I was in for when I started this book but oh my good goodness did I devour it or what?

I knew it was classified as YA (check), I knew it was a modern day take on Johnny and June (double check) and I knew it involved a charming young man and bad ass young lady (triple check)... I just had no idea how much depth and incredible soul it would have!

With out further adieu, my review:

⭐⭐⭐⭐

I must admit, I've come to love Clay, Annie & all the gang more than I realized I would! A group of young adults navigating grief that fits their young lives like an over-sized hoodie. Hiding all of their pain and stress underneath of it with the padding of booze and personas. Navigating the sadness and hurt, or completely ignoring it, while also trying to enjoy new adventures and budding romances. We often don't realize how quickly life becomes "real" until we're knee deep in and I think all of us can relate to this book in that way. Beautifully written and completely addicting once you pick it up. The perfect spring break and summer read. While I'm here, I have to give praise for this being a debut novel for Erin Hahn. This is an incredible piece to put out there as a debut and I am anxious and excited for what else comes out of her future writings! Read this book if you love: YA Fiction, Country Music, Romance, Johnny & June, Grief & Recovery You'd be mine is set to release on April 2nd, 2019. Get your pre-order in now because you're going to eat this book up faster than a sleeve of double stuff oreos! Purchase 'You'd Be Mine' here: Amazon - B&N

Book Review: Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys

Now listen, it's no secret to anyone that knows me that Ruta Sepetys is one of my holy grail, all time favorite authors. I shove 'Salt to the Sea' and 'Between Shades of Gray' into all of my friends hands and beg them to read them so I can discuss it with them. Ahem, if you haven't read either of those I will link them down below as well.

Onto the review, shall we?

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oh my goodness, Ruta does it again! I am such a huge Ruta fan but was nervous starting this that it would be the one I don't love. Writing about such a scandalous topic such as brothels and mob style murders without crossing over into vulgarity and filth could prove to be a difficult topic for any writer, but Ruta shows us all how it's done! Bravo Ruta!

Notice how many times I said Ruta in that review? *Major Fangirl*
But really, do yourself a favor and snatch up every book by her and spend the weekend hidden away binge reading. I promise you won't regret it!
