Kyland by Mia Sheridan
5.0

This is probably my favourite book of April! one of my top favourites of Mia’s for sure! And definitely brought what I expect from her novels a heartbreaking beautiful love story that brings out all the emotions! In this one we have Kyland and Tenleigh they both have grown up on the Appalachian mountains and both know what’s it’s like to go hungry. Tenleigh lives in a trailer a few house up from Kyland, she lives with her mother who suffers from a mental illness and her sister who is a few years older. Together the two girls take care of their mother and everything else. Tenleigh is in high school and she has her eye on a scholarship that will get her out of this town and maybe a better life for her, Kyland is also competing for this scholarship to make a better life for him self after losing his father and brother in a mining accident years ago. These two try to stay away from each other, they know they can’t have each other messing up their chances of leaving. I loved there relationship so much, you really felt for both of these characters and I love the connection they had together. After their highschool life we jump to 4 years later and this part was so good also, i loved the time jump! This book will forever be a favourite and live in my heart!
