Why Did I Read? The premise sucked me in! I love a good thriller! Plus, I really enjoyed Jennifer Lynn Barnes’ book The Naturals!

Everyone wants him to hate his dad […]

After I finished reading Since You’ve Been Gone, I loved it so much that I knew I had to read Morgan Matson’s other books ASAP. I owned Second Chance Summer already and ended up reading it along with Rebecca from the Library Canary!
