I didn't connect it at first (the Backstreet Boys were about a decade or so past my boy band days) but I love that Ann Aguirre did that. :) The whole trilogy was good but I Want It That Way was my favorite. (Confession: there was a scene in it that actually got me choked up.) I LOVED Kill Devil Hills! That one just spoke to me big time. I didn't love Changing Tides quite as much but it was still really good. I hate that some trolls were hassling Sarah on GoodReads. Grrr. <br />Yeah, I know you loved I'll Give You the Sun. And I wish I had, too! I'm definitely in the minority with that one, but the writing just wasn't for me. *shrugs*Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-55689173523735000322017-02-22T11:19:55.388-05:002017-02-22T11:19:55.388-05:00I finally just had to realize that John Green'...I finally just had to realize that John Green's writing isn't for me.
