This is how much of a CoHo newbie I am that I didn’t even know that she had book series. Well apparently I shouldn’t have read this one before reading the rest of the books in the “Hopeless” series. Unfortunately for Daniel, finding Cinderella doesn’t guarantee their happily ever after…it only further threatens it. Especially when the two loves of his life end up being one in the same. Daniel soon realizes the way he pretended to feel about Cinderella and the way he really feels about Six may not be so different after all. One year and one bad relationship later, his disbelief in insta-love is stripped away the day he meets Six: a girl with a strange name and an even stranger personality. Moments like that with girls like her don’t happen outside of fairytales. When their hour is up and the girl rushes off like Cinderella, Daniel tries to convince himself that what happened between them only seemed perfect because they were pretending it was perfect. But this love comes with conditions: they agree it will only last one hour and it will only be make-believe.
Morton's novels, which are rich with compelling characters, weave stories from the past and present, revealing the connection between the two at the end of the story and always delivering an emotional punch, one that has made me gasp out loud before. She reminds me of one of the few novelists for adults I consistently read and always find gratifying, Kate Morton. Stead is a gifted writer and a masterful storyteller. And I know that I will have the same experience in the future after reading Stead's new novel, Goodbye Stranger. I shy away from making Top 5 or Top 10 lists, but I know that every time I see the cover for this book I will feel a thud of emotion and recall what a powerful experience reading that book was. When You Reach Me is a book that will stay with me the rest of my life. Rebecca Steadis the author of four books, two of which, Liar & Spy and the Newbery Medal winner, When You Reach Me, I have reviewed here. I read the poem on the front cover of Dunphy’s score, and was instantly drawn to the imagery. She is often labeled an “Instapoet” for her fame as a writer among the social media crowd, but her poetry has far more substance than the name may imply. The text for Melissa’s piece is by British-Indian author Nikita Gill. Among her works, “Wild Embers” is at the top of my list for a future performance. Her work had life and energy and feisty passion, and I wanted to program it all! Besides being an award-winning composer, Melissa herself is an amazing soul, and is the embodiment of the creative artist I want my students to know exists as a role model. She had a number of works for SSAA ensembles, and every one of them had a purposefully-chosen poetic text that rose off the page along with the music. When I walked up to her table, I knew I’d found the right place. On the hunt for new women’s/treble music, I especially wanted something that would speak to the singers in my choir. I met Melissa at the Composer’s Fair during the recent ACDA national conference in Kansas City. Return to the list of articles One from the Folder: Repertoire Thoughts for Women’s/Treble Choirs It’s the rarest book that manages to be so important, so emotionally resonant, and so utterly propulsive and compelling all at the same time. You won’t be able to put it down.” - Jeff Zentner, Morris Award-winning author of The Serpent King and Goodbye Days “Equal parts crackling tension and sparkling humor the worst relationships have to offer and the best. I’m afraid too many readers will relate to this unflinchingly honest portrayal of an abusive first love, which is precisely why Always Forever Maybe is an essential book.” - Megan McCafferty, New York Times bestselling author of the Jessica Darling series “Anica Mrose Rissi masterfully conveys the irresistible power of physical attraction and how that intoxication can unexpectedly turn toxic.

Thirdly, Another potential spoiler alert…Penelope did a great job of describing life with a newborn and no help. Secondly, sex scenes (while few and far between) were hot without pushing the envelope for shock value. Now that I’ve gotten my grievances regarding the book title off my chest let me sing this story’s praises.įirst up, I’d also like to applaud Penelope Ward for creating a “rival” love interest (Jade) who is gorgeous, sexy and skinny and still NICE! Yep, no girl-on-girl cut downs or the clique skinny girl MUST be a bitch. Yep, one could accurately conclude that the title is misleading. Further in the novel they actually state that they never hated each other. Potential Spoiler Alert…Approx 10% of the way into the book the roomates no longer hate each other.
