The How & the Why by Cynthia Hand
4.0
The How and the Why is just another book that has been collecting dust on my TBR for years. YEARS PEOPLE. It has been a while since I've read a book by Cynthia, so I was really excited to jump into this one.
In this, you will meet Cassie. At times, it feels like she has the whole world on her shoulders. Maybe she does and maybe she doesn't. She does, however, have a lot on her plate at the moment. Whether it's about her mom's health, a possible new crush, a best friend fight, college dreams, or wanting to know more about her birth mother. It's safe to say that she is beyond stressed and needs some good news to come her way.
Now I really liked reading the letters from her birth mother. I also like how realistic everything felt because we got the good and the bad. The ugly was there and we saw consequences being dealt from certain actions. It was so hard to put this book down because I just wanted more.
If I could change one thing, it would be the crush element. For me, the romance didn't really do anything, and I wouldn't have been mad if it never existed. Definitely happy that I jumped into this when I did - it was so good!
