Review:
I loved this book.
Maggie is the typical high school student. The one that most people strive to be. She meets a boy that is the epitome of "bad boy". Keeps to himself and you can tell he holds a secret, but you just don't know what it is. Very emotional and real. I just couldn't put the book down.
Maggie wants to help Clayton; Clayton thinks he can handle things on his own. Things spiral out of control and not in a good way. This story takes you on a journey that many kids in the era are probably facing and probably trying to solve the same way as Clayton. Again a very emotional and enlightening novel on something many people try not to acknowledge. Would recommend to fellow readers.
Book Two: Light in the Shadows
Synopsis:
How do you keep going when you feel like your life is over?
Maggie never thought she’d see Clay again. So, she attempts to put her life back together after her heart has been shattered to pieces. Moving on and moving forward, just as Clay wanted her to.
Clay never stopped thinking of Maggie. Even after ripping their lives apart and leaving her behind to get the help he so desperately needed. He is healing...slowly. But his heart still belongs to the girl who tried to save him.
When a sudden tragedy brings Maggie and Clay face to face again, nothing is the same. Yet some things never change. Can the darkness that threatened to consume them be transformed into something else and finally give them what they always wanted? And can two people who fought so hard to be together, finally find their happiness? Or will their demons and fear drive them apart for good?
The thing about love, is even when it destroys you, it has a way of mending what is broken. And in the shadows, you can still see the light.

Review:
A continuation of the series Find You in the Dark. This book continues the story of Maggie and Clayton. Clay left Maggie to get the help that he needed for his mental illness. He wanted Maggie to be able to have a normal life, but all Maggie wanted was Clay. She tried to get her life together but is forced back into Clayton's life.
This book is written in both character's POV so you get to know how each is feeling during this time of their lives. You feel their love, pain, passion, fears, etc.
It was a perfect ending to the tragic beginning of Maggie and Clayton's story.

Review:
This short story tells the of the tell of Maggie's two best friends Daniel and Rachel.
Rachel has always loved Daniel but he had never reciprocated those feelings. These two come together when their best friend is being ripped apart. Daniel never thought that Rachel would be his "one and only". He didn't want to ruin a friendship that he has cherished from a very young age.
It is told in both characters POV and is a very sweet romance novel. Tells of how two young teenagers come together. Really enjoyed learning about how these two friends came together and why. Very great story even if it is short.
