Taking Chances

I have really enjoyed Taking Chances, by Molly McAdams. I found this ebook on Goodreads, some of my friends had read it and gave it a good review. Well, I'm half through and loving it!
This college freshman, Harper, has lived a sheltered life under a domineering father. She heads off to school and falls in love with not just the first boy, but two of them, shortly after arriving.
I love getting inside the character's head...my favorite style of writing (and reading) is first person. The omniscient narrator thing kind of creeps me out! But I'm stuck right now, in the middle of the novel, and I can tell the dichotomy that has taken place within herself, and it can't last for long. There's a big decision coming and no one will make it out unscathed.
Definitely a fast read- and it was super cheap!!!!

   It doesn't get any more real than this! Like all my social media indicates I am an English teacher at Reagan High School.  I love my students as much as I do my own four children.  I enjoy YA Lit and Cadbury eggs.  I spend most of my daylight hours in overdrive, like most mothers.  Many ask me how I manage to accomplish so much, and although I have answered in various ways, the one solid truth in my life is Jesus Christ who makes all things possible. 
   Borrego ​is the name of my current project. Check out this novel and more on my website or on Amazon.com.
