A review by maddieg
Analee, in Real Life by Janelle Milanes

4.0

This book took a little bit to get started for me, but once I made it past the first few chapters, I was totally entranced in the story. Analee was so developed and I saw some of myself in her and I love the way she interacted with Seb. I also thought there was more to this book than just the romantic relationship with Seb and I actually enjoyed exploring that. Analee’s relationship with her new family and then her relationship with Lily were both so in-depth that it made the entire story come together. While I wish the story had ended differently than it did, I think the ending made sense and now I would love it if a sequel came out to continue Seb and Analee’s relationship and whatever it may bring.

Favorite Quote: “There are no rules for happiness. You’ll be happy, then you’ll be sad, then you’ll be happy again. Enjoy the happiness when you have it. When you don’t have it, remember: It will come again. You just have to be open to it.”
