Hello World
Grief.
That’s all Neve can think about, it is the only thing she is really certain about. It dominates her life. Depressed and tormented by an unknown source, Neve is struggling to hold onto her life, until mysterious new boy Jay turns up and sets off a series of unforgettable events.
But everyone has secrets. Jay’s aren’t dirty secrets though. He won’t break your heart or turn his back on you, he won’t stab you in the back or laugh in your face. No, what Jay keeps hidden is ten times worse and slowly killing him from the inside out.
Jay is determined to save Neve from herself and show her what living really means. Neve is determined not to. After all, how many times can your heart break before it becomes unfixable?

I went into this book knowing that it's Joanna's first published book, therefore I started the book with not knowing what to expect.
Wow.. That's all I really have to say. Her writing is the baby of Jaime McGuire and John Green. She is amazing!
Hello World revolves around a girl named Neve. She's had her fair share of loss and heartbreak over the years and has become a soft of shell of herself. She's depressed, damaged, and lonely.. That is until she meets Jay, a boy who brings her world crashing down, in a good way. Jay has secrets of his own, no he doesn't have a secret girlfriend or a baby momma. He just isn't perfect, but really, who is? These two beautiful souls help each other overcome their battles, but nothing is ever that good, is it?
Hello World is a beautiful story of loss, love, and self-discovery. It's a love story with tradgety mixed in there. It really tested my emotions and I would be lying if I say I didn't shed a tear or two while reading this.
I'm glad that Joanna came across me on Twitter and I saw that she had published this book. I feel like she is EXTREMELY underrated. Her writing is so good! I hope that this review will spread her writing to others, she deserves recognition.

No words can describe the emotion that was bestowed on my by this book. In fact I'm still crying, because I JUST finished this book. It makes me realize how precious life is. We should treat it with the utmost care. I know life can be a bitch and a pain in the ass, but we have to look past that. For some people it may take longer for this to happen and for others, all it takes is merely a book that shows what can happen to you by just that one person entering your life and drastically changing it forever...

Wow
Wow
Right now, the top of my screen reads 3:33 AM. It's a school night and I just read this book all at once. There's snot on my blanket and tears dried up on my cheeks. I think I just found my new favorite book. I know I just found my new favorite book because it couldn't have been more perfect, because it wasn't perfect. I guess you'll just have to click that button that says buy to find out what I mean. Trust me. This is no other book out there, this book is special, sweet, sad, and original like no other.

Emotional Rollercoaster
I've had this book for a while. It was on a long list of books I'll get to eventually. Well I started it over the weekend and was fully engaged. The raw emotions, the sadness, the anger, the fear, and the new relationships forming. I loved every word and when the time came I cried. Just like I did when reading The Fault in Our Stars. It tugged at my heartstrings and held tight. It was amazing! Kudos!

I'm not sure what to say other than I loved this - great characters, realistic setting and feel, a nice break from all the paranormal/dystopian fare.

I thought this was a very touching read. It's both uplifting and sad at the same time, and I liked the message the author was trying to pass along.
