SYNOPSIS

An emotional contemporary YA novel about love, loss, and having the courage to chase the life you truly want.

Reeling from her mother's death, Georgia has a choice: become lost in her own pain, or enjoy life right now, while she still can. She decides to start really living for the first time and makes a list of fifteen ways to be brave - all the things she's wanted to do but never had the courage to try. As she begins doing the things she's always been afraid to do - including pursuing her secret crush, she discovers that life doesn't always go according to plan. Sometimes friendships fall apart and love breaks your heart. But once in a while, the right person shows up just when you need them most - and you learn that you're stronger and braver than you ever imagined.

REVIEW

I was over the moon when I got accepted for this book. I mean just look at the cover, it's so pretty. This book was awesome!
How To Be Brave is not a long story but it'll totally indulge you. These pages are just so engulfing that you wouldn't want to put the book down. The pace of the book is extremely fast which isn't my thing to be honest. Anyways there are loads of challenges and twists in the novel, you'll keep guessing until the end plus this book is really emotional. My most favorite part was when Georgia starts getting back to her normal life and things starts to get better. It's a short and fast paced story. Do read it if you enjoy emotional contemporary reads.

Happy Reading! <3
