Statement: I love Erin Watt's The Royals series and When it's Real. I love Jen Frederick's work as well as Elle Kennedy's series.When I spotted the ARC of One Small Thing I sent a request and crossed my fingers. Real tight. It was painful and unpractical. When I got it I squealed! So hard the neigbors believed some cats were fighting. Nope. That was me! I dove right in but sadly this book was not for me. I think one part of my disappointment is due to the ARC format with small inconsiste

One Small Thing... I have been waiting for this book with bated breath.Sadly, This one was almost put into the Dnf category for me.. It wasn't even the fact the characters annoyed me.. I just found the whole premise uncomfortable to read.Now, I will admit something, a lot of people are complaining about how they didn't enjoy the character Beth... trust me... I get what you mean. I understand the frustration of having to read a character that's so annoying that you'd rather get a few brain

“You waiting for me is the ONE SMALL THING that will keep me going.” This is hard. Hard to write. Hard to review. Why? Because I loved this book and I disliked this book. First things first, this book teaches you many things, most importantly to follow your heart no matter what any one says. It’s hard to be pushed down, talked down to, but in the end, stay true to you and follow your own path. This book is emotional, it’s sad, it’s raw, and it definitely touches your soul. I don’t want to

NOW LIVE!Amazon US * Amazon UKOne Small Thing is a very clear case of just not for me. Because I know that the majority of people that read this book are going to fall in love, they're going to adore these characters, cry with and for these characters, and be captivated by their story. But for me that wasn't the case. And for my own reasons. The main one being, the secondary characters frustrated the ever loving hell out of me. I've said it before and I will probably say it a million times more,...

4 Forbidden Stars!(ARC provided by Harlequin Teen) Beth Jones should be having the time of her life. She is a 17 yr. old girl about to start her senior year at Darling High. Instead she feels like she can't breathe. She has no life since her sister Rachel passed away three years ago. Everything drastically changed in her household because her parents are obsessed with keeping the only child they have left safe. They are overprotective to the extreme, and everything is decided for her. They mo...

This was a giant dumpster fire of a book.The more I think about this, the more problematic it becomes. I’m still not sure the relationship would actually make it in real life. I mean, come on, who falls in love with their sister’s killer??? That’s next level craziness.All the characters in this entire story I hated. They bully their friends and are hypocrites. I get that it was a small town but everyone was so angry over Chase going to school there. What he did to Rachel happened 3 years ago...

Let me tell you about the conflicting emotions Erin Watt had me feeling in just the first 20% of this book. It all happened so fast. I felt instantly giddy as I found myself in the complicated world of high school senior, Elizabeth Jones. I love a good high school romance and this one had me AMPED right away. The angst, the drama, the insecurities and the unsettled feelings of teenage years, I just love stories that take me to that place. One Small Thing took me there. But combine all that teen

4 Small Thing Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟The message of this book was perfect... find that one small thing every day that makes you happy.... if we all could prescribe to this school of thought, the world would be a happier place... and this book was the one small thing in my life today that put a smile on my face... this was a book filled with so much angst, heartbreak, frustration, but in the end hope!It is Beth’s senior year and she wants to make the most of it, but this is not easy with her extremely over pr...

*****FOUR STARS*****{ARC Generously Provided by Authors} ”No cage is forever, Beth. I tried to find one small thing that I could be grateful for each day, like the extra ten minutes of free time outside or a work release picking up trash or ice cream for dessert. That’s how I kept my sanity—I focused on one good thing instead of all the fucked-up stuff.” YA is not my go-to genre but when it’s a book written by the dynamic writing duo, Erin Watt, there is no way that I’m not going to make time

one small thing i am grateful for - this book. first things first, i was frustrated so much whilst reading this. mainly because of the horrible characters. not horrible as in terribly written, but downright horrible people. beths friends are some of the worst friends i have ever read. so judgemental, so rude, so catty, so everything. and dont even get me started on her parents. i seriously would be guilty of a double homicide if i had her parents. but oh my gosh. beth and chase stole my heart, s...

3.5 stars Well, this is a lot more wholesome than Paper Princess. Lol. Okay, the story actually began with the main characters doing the deed but that’s the extent of it. And although this is another YA romance, the themes are quite deep and meaningful and the plot is not very usual either. It’s about Beth, the sister of the dead girl as she tries to process her grief in her own unique way when in an act of rebellion against her parents' over-protectiveness, she hooks up with this guy, Chase w

Not Erin Watt’s best work, but still an addictive read!In their second YA novel, Erin Watt narrates the story of Lizzie Beth, a seventeen year old girl who lost her sister to a car accident three years ago. Beth wants to party, have fun and make stupid decisions during her last school year, but her parents are constantly trying to smother her with their unreasonable rules and extreme reactions. In a desperate act of rebellion, Beth ends up in a party full of strangers and meets the most gorgeous...

3 stars Every time a new Erin Watt book comes out, I get super excited to read. I love this dynamic writing duo and how flawlessly their words flow together. This story was different than any of their other books. It still had that angst factor, but it was also emotional, forbidden, and great story about true forgiveness and second chances. Beth Jones is getting ready to go in to her senior year of high school, but she doesn’t have the life of a typical 17 year old. Ever since her older sist...

A very enjoyable read but in my opinion, it couldn't keep up with "When It's Real" or the "The Royals" series. Nevertheless, I liked it and highly recommend you check it out if you enjoyed their other books!instagram || my blog || twitter

“What’s your small thing for today?” “You." Here are three small things about One Small Thing:1) It was a guilty pleasure. 2) It was pretty cute (at times)3) It was pretty bland (at times) Please note that this review is purely my own opinion, and I do not want nor intend for anyone to be swayed into not reading this book. If you want to give it a chance - it might turn out beautiful for you. _________ The Plot Whenever I have read 'Erin Watt' in the past, I always find myself coming to th

I think this writing duo is on to something... I know a majority of their following is really into their darker, more erotic romance (I haven't read the royals series yet), but there's something REALLY special about their standalone contemporary romances. They definitely feel YA (as they should), but not in a cheesy, obnoxious way. This is my second standalone romance from them and both have tackled some deep, thought provoking themes. Highly recommended for readers wanting a nice balance of dar...

Thank you Harlequin Teen for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.DNF @ 41%I tried guys but this book isn't for me. One Small Thing is one of my highly anticipated books this year and sadly it turned out to be a disappointment. I rarely put a book in a DNF pile and as much as I hated a book, I'll finish it no matter what. However, all the characters in this book pissed me off and I ran out of patience. The story centers on death and grief. It's about seventeen year old Beth Jones wh...
