One of the best ways these days to help new authors is to take the time to write a review of the books you’ve read. We all want to encourage our favorite authors to write more stories and getting a good review always feels nice. Actually, getting an honest review feels even better. You don’t have to like every story that you read and the last paragraph of your review can state just that but the preceding paragraphs should be an honest review of the writing itself. I try to write a brief synopsis of the story first, about the writing second and finally whether or not I enjoyed reading it and why or why not.
To that end, I will be writing a review for every single book that I read over the next 12 months. Of course, I will be reading quite a lot of them to go along with the North Florida Writers Blog Tour that we are sponsoring. It begins on March 2, 2020. We hope you will check out the website we created for it at https://northfloridawriterstour.jolenesbooksandmore.com
Yearning for the Unattainable: Y.F.T.U. by L.L. Eadie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Yearning for the Unattainable is a Young Adult fiction fantasy story featuring a 16-year-old girl who has moved around a lot over her lifetime with her older brother, father, and various lady friends. Finally, her father moves the family to his family hometown in southern Georgia.
The dialogue is fun sometimes littered with quaint southern sayings and youthful angst of a young woman coming to a new school once again, wanting friends and even a boyfriend. However, she finds a cranky old aunt, a couple of girls for friends and longs for the local town high school hero as a boyfriend. On top of all of that she finds out that she is a dead ringer for the local ghost living in her house and her boyfriend has a big secret too.
This book is for mature young adults.
