I found Briana on Instagram and I saw that she had written a book and I knew I had to read it! This book is great, so great that I read it all in 1 day!! Briana writes honestly and it was so refreshing to read. I heavily relate to April, the main character and I am inspired by her story.

It’s a hell of a amazing book for a first time writer. This book talked about journey to self-love and it was beautifully portrayed!

Okay I judged this one kinda harshly, it’s actually not that bad of a book BUT it kept boring me and it took me forever to read so

Loved this self-healing story

As a freshman in college getting used to my new responsibilities, I sometimes beat myself up too harshly. This book is a great reminder that healing is not linear, quick, or easy. It’s not easy to analyze our own toxic traits but when we analyze what others are doing wrong (this story) it helps us realize what we ourselves need to work on.

Wow! This is such an authentically beautiful story. It drew me in so quickly. I loved the timeline and the depth that the characters hold. I love the imagery and description that is key to a well-written novel. This book is 100% one I will be recommending to my friends!!

I read this when it first came out. It was one of the few books that made me fall in love with reading. There were a few moments where it felt like I was reading a book about myself and it's helped me heal things I don't talk about.

[Holly White · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good read. Follows Christianity morals and is a semi-light read for me. Sweet for the hopeless romantic.

[Sam Caskey · Rating 3 out of 5]

Young adult/teen/high-school romance. Coming of age, growing up, learning about yourself. Deals with depression/anxiety/mental health. Slow but easy read.
