I’m going to get Johnny’s and Blake’s cards for them,” my dad says, choosing to ignore my skepticism, as he pulls out his billfold. “You know how hard it is to find parking.” In this YA novel, Rachael Lippincottexplores some heavy themes, many of which are coated in joy. We initially meet an Emily who has shut herself off from the world (and feelings) after having lost her mother. She can’t explain—or doesn’t want to—why her relationship with her boyfriend Matt doesn’t feel right. Emily used to be adventurous, but now she calculates risks down to the percentile. Her friends miss the person she was before her mom died; so does Emily. This is a book about how the people we meet can be catalysts for growth and change in our lives but reminds us that ultimately, we transform ourselves. The Great, the Meh and the Oh No! The first number of the night,” Donna calls into the microphone, pausing as a group of elementary school kids three tables over start a drumroll. I catch a glimpse of Sue Patterson sitting in the corner just beside them, actively saying the rosary and sprinkling holy water over her set of four cards.

I wince slightly as my eyes trace the familiar crease straight down the center of the card, landing finally on the red splotch in the upper right-hand corner, where I spilled fruit punch when I was six. I hate these moments the most. The moments when you think you are healed just enough, and then something as simple as a bingo card makes every fiber feel raw. Any quotes from the book are taken from the advance copy and therefore may not be fully accurate or correctly compare to the final copy of the book.Con mensajes memorables, recuerdos que tocan el corazón y momentos hilarantes que hacen de este un libro que se puede disfrutar a concho. Dang. Look at you, Clark,” a voice says from just over my right shoulder. “Still can’t count for shit.”

For someone who just succeeded in blowing up her entire social life three weeks ago at junior prom, there is literally no worse place to be. Unfortunately, with said social life in shambles, that also means there wasn’t a single thing I could claim to be doing to get out of coming. Matt would be a great friend to have in real life, he seems caring and supportive as well, and just seems like someone you would want to be friends with.Blake is one of my favorite YA love interests ever. She's charming, she takes charge, and she has a natural swagger that I find super compelling, as well typically only see these traits in male characters.
