Beck's Reviews > Over You

Emma McLaughlin & Nicola Kraus have done it again, managing to create yet another amazing book that I just couldn't put down!

I picked up 'Over You' as an ARC and was over joyed to have their latest YA novel in my hands. I hadn't known what the book was about until I started reading it and once I knew I found the coincidence a bit funny.

In 'Over You' the main character Max Scott starts a sort of business who's goal is to help girls going through a bad break up get over the boy who broke their hearts. It was only a few weeks before this book that I myself went through a break up, so somethings in the book helped me look at my situations a little differently.

I love that the authors were able to touch on a very important part of a teenagers break up. Sometimes girls just want it to be okay, go back to how things were and so they decide that they're not going to completely cut the boy out of their lives. Sometimes this isn't always a good things, but then there are the large cases when it is and everyone around the girl seems to be pushing her away from that idea. I like how they explored that with one of the parts of the book.

(this may be a SPOILER)Also I like how throughout the book Max is portrayed as a strong female character with no flaws, or rather she stays strong and hides her flaws, but throughout the novel she starts to realize she isn't as perfect and strong as she makes her clients think she is.

Overall I'm head-over-heels in love with Over You, and can't wait for Emma McLaughlin & Nicola Kraus's next masterpiece.
