Book Review: Fight For Her

-
*I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.*

Fight For Her is my favorite book from Wattpad by far.

It brought me back to my high school writing (in a good way).  I fell hard and fast for Elijah (love when that happens).  The pace of the story was great and the plot twists were so freakin' fantastic.  Oh, and Scarlet being an auto repair tech?!  HECK YES LADIES.  Once Plum got rolling, it was nearly impossible for me to put the book down.  Seriously, a solid Young Adult read.

When I marked this read as complete on Goodreads, I couldn't help but snoop on the reviews of others.  I usually try not to do this before writing my own review, so I don't subconsciously steal the words/thoughts of other readers but... I was bummed to see there was only a handful of others who enjoyed Scarlet and Elijah's story as much as me (oh well, their loss).  Personally, I found very few things to critique, but I'll mention the things that did stick out to me quickly.

First, Scarlet staying in her relationship with douchecanoe Jack for so long.  Although, I shouldn't be one to talk.  We've all "been there, done that" right?  Relationships are complicated, so I'll let that one slide.  Second, why in the nut would her parents do what they did to her?!  I'm being vague on purpose so I don't spoil anything, but oof would that throw a wrench in my family dynamic if I was in her shoes.

A very easy 5 leaves for Fight For Her.  I'm hoping that this isn't the last book written by Liz Plum.

For Sophie, a singer, it's been great to be friends with Emme, who composes songs for her, and to date Carter, soap opera heartthrob who gets plenty of press coverage.

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews .  It's all about sharing books you've added to your shelves be it physical or virtual.  This means you can include books you buy in a  physical store, or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts, and of course ebooks. This week, I've added five books to my shelf! The first two books were given to me by a coworker after she saw how much I read during my lunch break!  Both are more outside of my typical realm of books, so I'm excited to give them a try!  The last three I received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.  The Home Front was released on January 26, 2021,  Playing with Fire was released on January 19, 2021 and The Woman with the Blue Star is set to be released in May 2021.
