I received this book from the author, Dana Burkey, in
exchange of an honest review. Heart to Follow contains three novellas and I have to
say they were cute and highly enjoyable. They were very fast-paced, as novellas
normally are, and I honestly had a terrific time reading them. Oh, the three
novellas are connected, which I didn't know at the beginning but I loved it
anyhow =)
Just Pretending, the first novella was about Cam, a girl who has had a crush on Nick for over a year because they spent a whole summer together hanging out. But then, he's back with his girlfriend and Josh, Cam's friend, makes a plan to get the two together. It was a fun and lovely read. I really liked Josh and how loyal he was to Cam.
Rating: 3.5 deathly hallows
Changed?, the second novella was about a girl named Summer and how she struggled
with friends and emotions during her school year. I can really tell more
without spoiling a bit. So yeah! I enjoy this one a bit more than I did Just Pretending. I loved Summer because she always made the right decision
and she was always true to herself.

Stage Lights, the last and third novella focused on Tessa, one of
Summer's friends, and this one surprised me greatly. It's true the previous
stories were a bit predictable and I thought this one was gonna be as well but
no! It didn't end the way I thought it would and I'm happy than Dana Burkey
surprised me. Also, as the title says this is focused a bit on the theater and
Shakespeare. What can go wrong?

The overall rating
is 3.8 deathly hallows but I'm just upgrading it to 4 because I had a blast reading
them. It was very easy to relate and care for all of the characters even when the
novellas were written in 1st person and sometimes that makes me only
really care or hate the person who’s telling the story. The three novellas were
short and fluffy (in a good way, of course) and I highly recommend them to
anyone who likes contemporary novels or just simply wanna read something which
is at the same time short and really nice. And again, thank you to Dana for
letting me read her novellas.
Final rating:
