Pieces of Love by PJ Sharon

Release Date: June 21, 2014, Page Count: 289, Age Recommendation: 13+

Sixteen year-old Alexis Hartman wants nothing more than to play her guitar and get high, hoping to escape the pain of losing her sister. But when her second arrest for pot possession leads to her mother’s breakdown, Lexi is sent to stay with her grandmother for the summer. While embarking on a Mediterranean cruise hardly sounds like punishment, being forced to face her demons and falling for a guy she may never see again gives Lexi a chance to discover what it means to love someone—even when you have to let them go.

My Review

I loved this book!  I really identified with Lexi.  I lost my dad 3 years ago so I can understand her mindset and how her pain has changed her behavior and her outlook.  I loved seeing her interact with Ethan.  Their interactions were so interesting because of how different they are.  My husband and I were total opposites when we met but as we've been together , we've become more and more alike.  But the opposites attract thing is still so interesting to me.  I found this book to be interesting and uplifting.  It also really made me think about the choices we make in life.  Loved it!
