Meredith @ Books by the Water

Jeff Zentner, you have my heart. I’ve been reading a lot of contemporaries lately because, let’s be honest, I’m behind on my reading challenge (what else is new?) and I read through this genre a lot quicker than I do fantasy or sci-fi. So I picked this book up expecting maybe a cute romance or a nice, touching book on grief or healing (because Carver, the main character, loses his three best friends in a car accident that resulted from Carver sending his friend who was driving, Mars, a text), but I got something special here. So I really need to talk about this. Because I’m tired of the blurbs calling Zentner a John Green. Jeff Zentner is his own genius and while calling him a John Green might be seen as a compliment, it’s just not enough.

Thanks for joining me!

My name is Meredith. I’ve been reviewing books on my Goodreads page for over a year now. I get very nostalgic about almost anything. Some of my favorite memories from my childhood are me in the back of the school bus, small legs propped on the seat ahead of me, devouring books. My favorite was The Girl Who Could Fly by Victoria Forester.

A few summers ago I wanted to read Divergent again. It was a completely random urge, but I read it and then I read basically every other YA dystopia. And so now, dystopian is my favorite genre and I’m reading all the time. I’m always in the mood to talk about books, even if it’s one I haven’t read yet. My TBR is always growing, so if you have any recs, please share! I love reviewing books, so that’s why I made this blog. It’d make my whole day if you’d like to check out my posts.
