ARC Review: When You Were Mine
my thoughts in a few sentences: From the moment Lauren (365 Days of Reading) read the prologue of this book, then following the excellent “Juliet Can Suck It” review written by Posh (Forever Young Adult), I KNEW When You Were Mine by Rebecca Serle would a) be unlike EVERY SINGLE Romeo and Juliet retelling out there and b) it would touch me to MY VERY SOUL. Serle captured heartbreak and all its devastation, sadness, and confusion, breaking up friendships, annihilating What Could Have Been, strengthening other bonds, and whipping up a romance with the kind of guy that demands and refuses to settle for less, is dead set against waiting and waiting, letting his heart be tromped all over. He understands and infuriates, the patient love interest who won’t stand aside and proves to Rosaline what beauty and love is, helping her heal what there is of her heart.

Been There, Read That {2}
BEEN THERE, READ THAT is new feature I've created to spotlight up-and-coming pre-releases that might not have made it onto your radar yet. BEEN THERE, READ THAT was inspired by Lauren (365 Days of Reading), and her Picks of the Week, and Tara (Hobbitsies), and her Early Buzz posts.
