First Kindle book ~~October Breezes by Maria Rachel Hooley

October Breezes by Maria Rachel Hooley

Skye Williams knows everything there is to know about mistrust: Dad skipped out when she was five. And now Warren Jacobs tries to sweep her Mom off her feet. But Warren's not the only concern rocking Skye's world. Devin Abbott, a guy she's known since kindergarten, has changed. He's become a tall, broad-shouldered guy she might date-if he wasn't her best friend. Skye swears there's nothing between them, but everyone else thinks differently. Devin doesn't act the way he used to, especially when Kellin Jacobs, senior quarterback, asks Skye out. Flattered, she accepts, and, Devin sulls up-and he isn't the only one. Kellin's best friend, Tyler Rutherford, gets bent out of shape, too, as he's always wanted Skye for himself. When Kellin and Skye attend one of Tyler's famous parties, neither senses the impending disaster that will change not only her life but also that of everyone who loves her.

October Breezes is a great YA book that has some pretty serious topics.  I kinda knew where the story was going but that didn't make it any less interesting. 

I'll start with the characters.   Though I felt Skye could be way immature at times, she is slightly complex, and is definitely dealing with major issues throughout the book.  I felt for her, and what she was going through.  Devin was Skye's "Ducky".  If you've seen Pretty in Pink then you know exactly what I'm talking about.  He played the best friend that secretly, but obviously in love with Skye. 

Now for the story...wow!  Like I mentioned earlier it was similar to Pretty in Pink, just more tragic.  The whole them versus us was in play throughout the whole book.  Kellin and Tyler are in a totally different circle that Skye and Devin  are in, so when  Kellin asks Skye out people start talking, and wondering what's the catch.

October Breeze is a quick read and for only 99. on kindle, what a bargain.
