Goodreads

Almost sixteen-year-old Aria Jones is starting over. New postal code, new last name, new rules. But she doesn’t mind, because it means she can leave her painful regrets behind. In the bustling town of Eastmonte, she can become someone else. Someone better.

With the Hartford family living next door, it seems she will succeed. Sure, Cassie Hartford may be the epitome of social awkwardness thanks to her autism, but she also offers an innocent and sincere friendship that Aria learns to appreciate. And Cassie’s older brother, Emmett—a popular Junior A hockey player with a bright future—well … Aria wishes that friendship could lead to something more. If he didn’t already have a girlfriend, maybe it would.

But Aria soon finds herself in a dicey moral predicament that could derail her attempt at a fresh start. It is her loyalty to Cassie and her growing crush on Emmett that leads her to make a risky move, one that earns her a vindictive enemy who is determined to splinter her happy new world.

What a brilliant book KA Tucker delivers with Be the Girl. What a wholly unforgettable story this was. One of my goals for this new year was to stop spending my time reading books that are anything less than exceptional and this book, my friends, is simply extraordinary.

Jessica’s Review

5 “This was Everything” Stars! 

Be The Girl is my very first FIVE STAR read of 2019 and it’ll be up there as one of the best books I’ll read this year without a doubt. I’ve been struggling to find a story that would blow me away this year, a story full of richness and depth and relatable characters that would reach out and grip me with intense emotion and an unforgettable storyline. (Not too much to ask, is it?) Well I’m thrilled to say I finally found it. Be the Girl is moving and heart wrenching, thought provoking and romantic. It’s a story full of regret and redemption, unconditional love and friendship, and IT IS EXCEPTIONAL.

There are so many nuances to this story, I don’t even know where to begin. Read this book because of the sweet YA love story. Read this book because of the teen angst and maddening dynamic that’ll take you right back to high school. Read this book because it’s eye opening. Because it’s rich with messages of empathy and forgiveness. Read this book because it’ll make you a better human. Read this book because of Cassie and all the things her blinding light will teach you. Read this book because Aria’s story sends a powerful, hopeful, unforgettable message we all can relate to in some way. Read this book because Emmett is the kind of character we hope our daughters find and our sons grow up to be. Read this book because it’ll change the way you look at the world.

Be The Girl brought tears to my eyes more than once. It filled me with an overwhelming sense of giddiness because I had finally found a book that I couldn’t put down, never wanted to end, and won’t stop thinking about anyone soon. The youthful romance between Emmett and Aria gave me nostalgic feels of first love and unsettling emotions and raging hormones and it was both delicious and complicated and I loved every second. This is a story that resonated with me because I could see myself on these pages. I’ve been there, in the dark places, and as painful and unsettling as those feelings were when they came to the surface, this story is a testament to the fact that things do get better. People do grow and change and learn from their mistakes. It’s a potent, necessary reminder that you’re not alone and that all we really need is a desire to understand each other. What a beautiful world we’d live in if we simply sought understanding instead of isolating ourselves from what looks a little different.

What a brilliant book KA Tucker delivers with Be the Girl. What a wholly unforgettable story this was. One of my goals for this new year was to stop spending my time reading books that are anything less than exceptional and this book, my friends, is simply extraordinary.
