Dear Boyfriend...and Other High School Dilemmas by Rebecca Garner
Thank you to Rebecca for the advance listening copy.

Now available on audible

Oh my heart. This book transported me back to being 14 again. Rebecca perfectly captured those teenage feelings and navigating friendships and first romantic relationships. I wish I’d had this series when I was 14.

There is a certain scene with a boy from bio that just reminded so much of my first boyfriend and the unpleasantness of having someone come on so strong, but you feel like you should go along with it.

Everyone remembers their first heartbreak but Rebecca perfectly captures that occasion of the first time you break someone else’s heart. Of navigating the push and pull of trying to do the right things, but not wanting to hurt someone.

Not only did this book speak to my inner 14 year old, but as a mom now, it hit me in entirely different ways and made me emotional.

Wholesome, sweet, angsty - Dear Boyfriend tells the story of navigating friendships, romantic relationship, and familial dynamics.

Krissy Barnes did such a great job as the narrator - perfectly voicing Emma and bringing her character to life. Great production quality too.

Dear Boyfriend...and Other High School Dilemmas is the second book in the Emma Bishop series by Rebecca Garner. These light-hearted, young adult books explore the realities of what it's really like to be a teenager.

Friendship, love, embarrassing moments, Emma experiences it all.

If you’ve never read a story by PL Hernandez, you need to rectify that immediately. Hernandez is writing is beautiful and lyrical and will make you have deep thoughts about your life.

Per usual, I had my highlighter ready to highlight all the quotes where P.L. Hernandez spoke to my soul. Patty's writing is lyrical, emotional, beautiful poetry on page. P.L. Hernandez writes humanity in a way that feels so real (as if she ripped my experience out of head and put it down on paper) which makes it a very emotional reading experience. True story that I did a bookends cry of this book. I cried during the dedication and during the acknowledgment section.

This book touches on some heavy topics (check your trigger warnings if you need it), but I hope that those who have been through similar situations feel seen through Patty's writing. So often, we like to shy away from the hard stuff, but it's so important to feel seen and loved through our worst days. Patty puts that feeling into writing on the page. And I love that mental health struggles and therapy are always normalized in Patty's writing.

Now, let's talk about the story. Hernandez takes us on a one year journey where Jax Cassidy goes through it. This story is about a woman who got lost somewhere along the way and comes to terms with past traumatic incidents so that she can move on with her life in a healthy way. It's also a second-chance Romance and a story about how the people that love Jax most come together over their mutual worry and love for her.

I was very honored to have an advanced listener copy of the newly dropped audiobook of Twenty Seven. The narrator really brought Jax to life, and I thought she did such a great job with the British accents.

Some of my favorite quotes:

“That’s it. You’re not the bad shit that happens to you. You’re not the sum of your misfortunes. You’re a collection of beautiful moments and grandiose experiences, and a life told through pictures, and this – crap hand you’ve been dealt, it’s just that. It’s a crap hand. It doesn’t define who you are or how you live your life.”

“He wrote the most gorgeous strings of words and when he sang them, he made me sad in a way that made me love the sadness.”

“Love. A little four-letter word. It’s supposed to mean that someone chooses you. Every day, over and over, they accept you for all that you are and all that you aren’t, in any given moment – at every given moment – for the rest of your life. I think that’s what motivates people to get married. Everyone’s always searching for it. Everyone’s always chasing it.”
