WW: Book Review!

Linking up with Mama Kat again this week for writers workshop. If you want to learn more about it, click the link at the bottom of this post. The prompt I chose this week is: Book review! Pretty sure I have shared here, but I have a goal of reading 100 books this year. Here are the last three I read and what I thought of them. If you are interested, there is a link at the very bottom to my goodreads profile where you can see how I am doing on my reading and read more of my reviews.

The Magic of Cape Disappointment: A NovelThe Magic of Cape Disappointment: A Novel by Julie Manthey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received a copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I freaking loved this book. It kept me engaged and I genuinely was rooting for the characters. The fact that it incorporated a lot of native american culture was very interesting. There were a couple things I never knew about. Being based in the Pacific Northwest helped me relate to this book a lot! I loved hearing names of places I have actually been to. Totally worth picking up this book. It's one that my mom would have called a "popcorn romance." It's easy to follow, easy to understand and light-hearted.

Remember to ForgetRemember to Forget by Ashley Royer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is about a boy, so overwhelmed by grief, that he no longer talks. At first I thought he was just being a spoiled child. How could he have been so in love with another person at such a young age. But the more I got to reading, the more I saw how much his life had been impacted. This story isn't so much about his loss, but about the road he took through his grief. I feel like I'm still on that road so many of the things he was thinking really rang true for me as well. I think that's why I loved the book so much.

Waterfall (The Water Crisis Chronicles)Waterfall by Amber Garr
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I was beyond disappointed with this book. It started off so strong then you jump months and miss out what happens to have the main characters. Then it gets good again only to end so abruptly I was left wondering what happened.
