Stacking The Shelves: February Edition

Hello my favorite book nerds!

Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme put on by Tynga's Reviews. It's a chance to shine some book lovin' on new additions to our bookshelves. I don't always get new books every week so instead of posting randomly I've decided I will just post a monthly STS, aiming for the last Saturday of each month. If you follow me on Instagram though, you will actually see new books as I get them since I post pictures shamelessly.

Review: How To Love by Katie Cotugno

HOW TO LOVE

Author: Katie Cotugno

Publication Date: 10/01/2013

Audience: Young Adult

Genre: Contemporary, Romance

Before:
Reena Montero has loved Sawyer LeGrande for as long as she can remember: as natural as breathing, as endless as time. But he's never seemed to notice that Reena even exists until one day, impossibly, he does. Reena and Sawyer fall in messy, complicated love. But then Sawyer disappears from their humid Florida town without a word, leaving a devastated—and pregnant—Reena behind.

After:
Almost three years have passed, and there's a new love in Reena's life: her daughter, Hannah. Reena's gotten used to being without Sawyer, and she's finally getting the hang of this strange, unexpected life. But just as swiftly and suddenly as he disappeared, Sawyer turns up again. Reena doesn't want anything to do with him, though she'd be lying if she said Sawyer's being back wasn't stirring something in her. After everything that's happened, can Reena really let herself love Sawyer LeGrande again?

In this breathtaking debut, Katie Cotugno weaves together the story of one couple falling in love—twice.
