A review by kayladbruns
One Small Thing by Erin Watt

4.0

Thank you HarlequinTeen for providing me with a copy for an honest review. 

If you know me, then you know that I loved The Royals series by Erin Watt. They are an auto buy authors for me. So when I saw that they were coming out with a new release I knew I had to get my hands on it. While I expected to like it, I didn't expect to be blown away by how real it would be.

It really brought out some emotions for me and I didn't expect that. This book dealt with death, grief, family issues and bullying. So be warned of that. I feel like the authors really wrote this well. They really made me remember what it was like to be a teenager. Caring what people think about you, how friendships were everything, and also it teaches you about how to forgive.

Beth and Chase had everything against them from the beginning. I had to see how if it would work out between them. It's a hard book to rate because you want to root for them, but then you wonder is it right? Should the relationship happen at all? I felt like I was just as conflicted as the main characters about their relationship.

The reason I didn't give it five stars was because I did have some issues with the secondary characters. I felt like nobody really redeemed themselves in my opinion, especially her parents.  

Overall, I recommend this one! It was raw and it made me an emotional mess at times. I was so engrossed in the story that I couldn't put it down. Even if you are not a fan of contemporary, give it a shot!
