Life, Liberty, and Some other stuff

My daughter's friend Rachel, who also happens to be my friend's daughter, read Life, Liberty, and Pursuit by fellow Omnific author Susan Kaye Quinn, and loved it so much that as soon as she finished---she dove right back in again!

Since LLP is a Young Adult book, and Rachel is a young adult (age 15) I asked her to take a break from her summer reading and reckless cake-baking escapades to write up a review for my blog.  As a thank you, I'm giving her a copy of the Summer Breeze Anthology to benefit Save the Ta-Tas (the anthology just so happens to feature a very sweet short story by Quinn that's a mini-sequel to her novel).

Take it away, my Nirvana-loving friend:

Anyone looking for a good read need not look any further than Life, Liberty and Pursuit by Susan Kaye Quinn. Life, Liberty and Pursuit is the perfect book for anyone who loves a good romance novel. Filled with detail and exceptionally well written, it’s cute without being overly cheesy and unrealistic, and Quinn makes you feel like you know the characters personally. For this, I loved every single page of it.

Life, Liberty and Pursuit keeps the reader hooked from page one, and gives the reader just what they want- a charming love story. As a summer fling turns into a devoted relationship, follow Eliza and David as they embark on a heart-warming journey of finding yourself and following your heart. Life, Liberty and Pursuit is a truly captivating novel that will leave readers with a warm, fuzzy, all around happy feeling by the time it’s over.

Thanks for the cookie! *nom nom nom* I voted for Three Daves trailer--good luck.

How great to have a Young Adult review Susan's YA novel! I also found it to be a very sweet love story, and was pleased to keep reading the characters' adventures in her short story in the Summer Breeze Anthology. Have a great day, Nicki.

I really liked Susan's book. I loaned it to my daughter in law who read it like 3 times. She related to it so much because my son was in Basic at the time. Three Daves is still on my to-read list. I'm waiting for the Celery tree launch to buy my print copy. (I just can't enjoy a paperless book)

Voted!

I also must move Susan's book up in my TBR pile. I love YA and this sounds like the kind of story I could totally love.

A great review! Just finished the book myself and I agree - it's a charming love story!

That's the kind of review writers dream of receiving!

Great post as always, Nicki. I'm a fan ;)

Tossing It Out
I can't believe I still haven't read Susan's book. Since I read so much fantasy, I forget some of the good ones out there that are not fantasy.
