I'm a simple girl--Sarah Everett writes a book, I buy it.

What if there is something fundamentally wrong, something inside you that chases people away and hurts those who stay? Is there any point in trying to do anything but burrow and wait until the world forgets who you are? Until you forget who you are?

I always know what I will get in her stories, and I happen to really love that. Some themes have stayed consistent across all three of her official books--grief, friendship, psychology, family issues, healing, and restoration. And, man, she must have known exactly what I'm looking for in books because that's just my type.

I was not disappointed, and I cannot wait for her next book!

FULL REVIEW:
Sarah Everett is just a genius. Her writing is consistently beautiful, and her books have become ones I desperately look forward to. Some Other Now is no exception. Everett is a contemporary writer that I don't see mentioned enough, and I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the genre.

The characters steal the show in Some Other Now(let's be real though, Everett's characters always steal the show). The way their stories are shown, the way it all unfolds, is heartbreaking and beautiful. Definitely have tissues handy for this one. It's not all sadness though. This book offers a beautiful portrayal of hope, of finding comfort and moving on from grief.

If you haven't read a Sarah Everett book, please keep this one on your radar(and also pick up her other books. They're all incredible, trust me).

Adored this book. It made me laugh and sob, and I finished it in less than 24 hours (it kinda sucked me in during the first chapter and i couldn’t put it down that whole day). I absolutely loved the characters, they made my heart ache in both a good way and bad way. Jessi, Rowan, Luke, and Mel are all very special to me now.
