I once found her novels unique, seeing that she does have her signature style, but the more I read her, the less impressed I am. Her most read book is actually her debut titled The Distance Between Us, and let’s face it, everything that has come after that one has been a different story but with a similar enough heroine, tone, writing style… Because I do believe she has talent, and her humour is my kind of humour.īut she isn’t growing as an author. I have never, and even if I do continue reading her books (which I doubt will happen), there is no chance of me wanting to burn any of her writings in the future. I didn’t think it would be so soon, but then again, Kasie West has published three books in 2017, so it’s normal that I have rapidly realized this author is just not for me anymore. If we’re completely honest with each other, I knew this day would come eventually. But as the deadline approaches, Abby realizes that getting through the list isn’t as straightforward as it seems… and that maybe-just maybe-she can’t change her art if she isn’t first willing to change herself.

She knows that if she can complete the list she’ll become the kind of artist she’s always dreamed of being. Abby gives herself one month to do ten things, ranging from face a fear (#3) to learn a stranger’s story (#5) to fall in love (#8). And now she’s been rejected from an art show because her work “has no heart.” So when she gets another opportunity to show her paintings Abby isn’t going to take any chances. She hasn’t been able to manage her mother’s growing issues with anxiety.

She has a not-so-secret but definitely unrequited crush on her best friend, Cooper. Seventeen-year-old Abby Turner’s summer isn’t going the way she’d planned. Genres & Themes: Young Adult, Light, Contemporary Romance, Art
