Why Did I Read? The great outdoors! Hiking! It’s my thing! Plus I loved Jenn Bennett’s YA contemporary last year too! My Thoughts: I could not have picked a more perfect time to read Starry Eyes. I was on a multi day backpacking hiking trip in New Zealand when I read it! I was literally out in the forest and the great outdoors as I read about Zorie and Lennon hacking it out there.

I love Leah and her strength, independence and loyalty to her friends. I […]
