Well, I'm back with a review for another SD book and honestly, I can copy that review and paste it onto here. Sixteen-year-old Macy Queen is looking forward to a long, boring summer. Her boyfriend is going away. She's stuck with a dull-as-dishwater job at the library. And she'll spend all of her free time studying for the SATs or grieving silently with her mother over her father's recent unexpected death. But everything changes when Macy is corralled into helping out at one of her mother's open house events, and she meets the chaotic Wish Catering crew. Before long, Macy joins the Wish team. She loves everything about the work and the people. But the best thing about Wish is ...

       My Rating:            ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.25)      My Thoughts:     Hello book lovers and welcome back to my blog!     My goal is to slowly make my way through all of Sarah Dessen's books and I made progress after finish The Rest of the Story . It was very cute but also pretty heavy and serious.      Emma Saylor doesn’t remember a lot about her mother, who died when Emma was twelve. But she does remember the stories her mom told her about the big lake that went on forever, with cold, clear water and mossy trees at the edges.      Now it’s just Emma and her dad, and life is good, if a little predictable…until Emma is unexpectedly sent to spend the summer with her mother’s family that she hasn’t seen since she was a little girl.      When Emma arrives at North Lake, she realizes there are actually two very different communities there. Her mother grew up in working-c...

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.75) My Thoughts:      I had such a fun time reading this book! After reading the synopsis, I was hooked. It sounded like such a cool concept and the book did not disappoint. Emmy and Oliver were childhood friends and they had a chance of becoming something more . But Oliver was kidnapped by his dad and now, ten years later, Oliver came back and it's a wild mess of pesty reporters and family drama. Old romances rekindled but Oliver wasn't the same seven-year-old boy who left anymore.      Emmy was one of the main characters (hence the name of the book) and while she wasn't the one kidnapped, her whole life was affected by it. She grew up watching reporters and police come and go, but none was able to find Oliver. She spent ten years hoping—like everybody else—that he would come back home. But the tragedy left her parents shocked and extremely overprotective. Emmy knew her parents wouldn't consent to her surfing, but she loved it. She love...
