Drops of Rain by Kathryn Andrews

After Ali's mother dies, her father moves them. And then disappears, hiding away at his work. Ali feels alone, and dancing is her refuge. Drew is counting down the days until he can drive far away from his home. But when he runs into the girl who will prove his biggest distraction, he might just find that maybe home isn't so bad.

I really liked the writing style and the character's voices in Drops of Rain. It was easy to sit down, promise I'd read only 50 pages or one chapter and before I knew it an hour or two had passed and I was farther than I had thought I would be. Drops of Rain drew me in quickly, making me interested and pulling me in with little problem.

The plot line was great! It was hard to read but at the same time, it was dealing with issues that are difficult to deal with and so it should be hard to read. Or at least during those parts. 

It was really easy to get attached to Ali and Drew. Both were just trying to find their way and discover who they were or find something better than what they had. It was a beautiful story and I think a lot of people can relate to the struggle of both at least partially. 

Drops of Rain was a painful, emotional read but it was well worth it!

University...What More Can I Say?

Honestly, I think this might be me...most days. I've gotten really bad at time management and everything seems to be coming up way too quickly. If you didn't know I'm a third year university student. And this therefore must mean that for every class you need at least 50 pages to read. Which is difficult. But trying to do papers as well(And I'm even trying to do them earlier) is way too difficult.

But that might have to do more with the fact that I'm getting a little more involved in school life. I'm now a tutor and I am taking Latin dancing( I look like this btw: ) I also signed up to volunteer, and hopefully I get approved.

So, okay I got through a couple of paragraphs talking all about me and not really about books. Party. But I want to hear all about you. Who's your favorite author? Favorite book? Favorite anything really. I've got some exciting stuff coming up and I hope that you're all as excited as I am for it! Not to mention this is also me saying that these non-review/non-book related posts may be a little less likely until things slow down a bit or get settled, or whatever. But yes, I will leave you with this one last gif(because hockey season is coming!)
