Nothing Burns As Bright As You by Ashley Woodfolk
4.0
emotional reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

An emotional novel in verse about first love, friendship, and the possibility of losing that love. There are some absolutely gorgeous lines in this book. Woodfolk definitely gets to the core of the emotions of the main characters, and they are emotions that some teens will relate to. Love can feel so devastating at that age, and Woodfolk absolutley captures that.

At times, the jumping between timelines does get a little confusing, especially since none of the characters are named. Despite this, you still get fully developed characters, and even some of the side characters. Once you start it, it will be difficult to put down.
