Because of Low by Abbi Glines
5.0

I have read all of Abbi Glines books, and what I love about her is that she is so consistent. She always writes such awesome books and amazing characters. If I'm looking for a "sure thing" great book, I know I can turn to anything Abbi Glines writes. Just a warning though- Because of Low is for a much older YA crowd.

I remember thinking how much I liked Marcus from Breathe. He is so sweet and loyal. I'm really happy he got his own story. He is just a genuine good guy. Willow is pretty awesome too, but I didn't like how hard she was on herself! Obviously she is an attractive girl but she just sees herself as average. Not to mention everything she has on her plate, she is an inspiration. I loved how this book was just as much about her as it was about Marcus. You really see Low coming into her own- the change is so gradual, but as the story goes on you can really watch as Low becomes happier and more confident and secure. It is really a cool journey to watch.

Abbi has such a gift for writing amazing characters. After finishing Because of Low I starting thinking about what it was that I loved most about Abbi's books. Her stories are all riveting, and boy oh boy can she write romance, but I have to say her characters are my favorite! They are so well written and fleshed out, it is hard to find a single character that I have not fallen in love with. If you have not checked out Abbi Glines books yet you are really missing out! She is one of my favorite YA authors!
