heatheradoresbooks 's review for:

Soul Keeper by JL Bowman
3.0

2.5⭐ rounded up.
For the most part I enjoyed Juniper and Eric's love story. BFF's since birth. Families close-knit.
Eric has been in love with her forever and she is oblivious. He is such a sweetheart and would do absolutely anything for her! He's #highschoolboyfirstlovegoals.
Juniper, however, was a mess ~ back and forth, up and down ~ and not really ever grieving for her mother and brother. At times, I found the words chosen for the teenagers to say very unlikely in real life.

Things I liked:
~ dual point of view writing
~ Granny
~ Eric's demeanor, patience and love for Juniper
~ Strong bond and friendship between the Taylor's and the Hampton's

Things I did not like:
~ Juniper seemed to push herself too far, especially when injured
~ excessive underage alcohol use
~ the parents lack of interest in their 16 year old's drinking and partying
