By Your Side by Kasie West
4.0

I've only read one book before this one by Kasie West, and it was very light, a little bit shallow, but cute and likeable. I thought this will be the same, but it wasn't, entirely.

Now, if you want to read this book because the two main characters are locked in a library throughout the book, well then you will be dissapointed. Because whereas the plot really starts with Dax and Autumn locked up, they don't really care about the books. But this didn't bother me that much.

I liked the book as a whole. Lovely characters, nice plot, little plot twists here and there and of course, the problems it deals with like anxiety, or family issues. It was nice to read, and I almost cried at one part for I was really feeling what Autumn felt at that moment.

Of course this book is really short, you can't expect it to describe the characters or their past moment by moment. But if this book would've been longer and more detailed, I think it could've been a really serious book. This way it was semi-serious?! Like it wanted to discuss some issues but not that much. This is why I don't give it 5 stars.

Actually, I would recommand this book for curing a reading slump because it is easy to read, to like, and to enjoy. :)
