Three books in three days.  That's just how I roll. Haha. {And that's also why I've been up to my neck in last minute school work...}

First up: Before Now by Cheryl McIntyre
Found this one thanks to the lovely YourNextRead website.  You type in a book you love and it gives you others like it.  Best. Thing. Ever.
I enjoyed this one quite a bit, even with the predictable ending.  What can I say?  I'm a sucker for happy endings!  And as with most novels of this type, I fell in love with the bad boy- Park.  Cause how can you not?! There were some nail biting moments and it will break your heart just a little.  But those are the best kinds of stories!  Random side note: the beginning scenes between Jesse Lucy and Bree are a little odd and almost turned me off to the book at first.  But once you swallow the weird dynamic you're getting something good.

Next on the list: The Ever After of Ella and Micha by Jessica Sorenson
First things first- I LOVE Micha Scott.  Not because he's a gorgeous tattooed emotionally damaged musician (although all of the above are freaking fantastic when we're talking man crushes).  No; it's none of those things that make him one of my all time favorite novel guys.
I love him because of the way he LOVES Ella.  I mean she shuts him down for how long?  Puts him through the ringer in every possible way.  And still he treats her like the sun shines out of her ass!  No matter what, he is hers and she is his.  Who doesn't want a love like that?!?!  I'm so glad Sorenson gave us this sweet wrap up of their story.  I will miss these two dearly!

And finally: Forever My Girl by Heidi McLaughlin
Ok so this is something I stumbled upon while on a long winded Barnes and Noble search binge.  You know the "customers who bought this item also bought this" thing at the bottom.
It's unlike anything I've read before, in the sense that it's a coming back together after years apart story, not a fighting tooth and nail to work out being together angsty story.  And I loved it.  Liam and Josie are that high school sweetheart southern couple.  They are torn apart when Liam struggles with the possibility of a stagnant go to college together with all their friends as football players and cheerleaders and then go on to that white picket fence kinda life-Josie's dream. {Jeez that was a run-on if I've ever written one.  Bear with me.}
What he doesn't know, and doesn't find out until ten years later, is that he and Josie have a son.
It was a sweet story of family and home sickness and most of all love and I'm so glad I tried something different.  Liam was the older but just as bad and sexy version of the Parks and Michas of my favorite books.  But there is just nothing like a man's fight for his child and their family to make a girl fall in love!

Until my next binge! Happy reading everybody!
