All That Really Matters By Nicole Deese
I have been looking forward to my schedule clearing enough for me to read this book for a while. SO GOOD!
Here is my review:
MY REVIEW
After I got over the sadness that I’d finished this delightful book, it took me a few days to gather my words together to try to express how much I loved this book. First, it was just the right balance of humor and depth I needed. If you don’t fall in love with these characters, are you even human?
Second, I want to know what happens to Miles. And I’m excited that we will get to read his story too.
But back to All That Really Matters, Molly and Silas are wonderful and I wish I knew them in real life. I had to put the book down near the end to do some work, and I found myself worrying about them, and wondering if they were going to be okay given the circumstances they found themselves in at around that point in the book where I left off.
Nicole Deese tells a story that has heart, humor, and hope. All I can say is, enjoy the ride, this one is a gem!
I received an ARC from the publisher. My opinion is my own.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Molly McKenzie’s bright personality and on-trend fashion and beauty advice have earned her an impressive social media following, as well as a shiny monthly paycheck. When her manager-turned-boyfriend tells her of an upcoming audition to host a makeover show for America’s underprivileged youth, all her dreams finally seem to be coming true. There’s just one catch: she has little experience interacting with people in need.
To gain an edge on her competitors, she applies to volunteer at a transitional program for aged-out foster kids during summer, only the program’s director, Silas Whittaker, doesn’t find her as charming as her followers do. But since forfeiting a goal has never been her style, Molly’s only option is to accept the terms Silas lays out and submit to his rules–even the most ridiculous ones pertaining to social media.
Soon as the residents of the home become more than a means to pad her career resume, and Silas becomes more than an obstacle on her path to fame, her once-narrow focus expands to include the deep needs of those she’s serving… and perhaps the ones she’s neglected inside herself as well. It took years to build her platform, but only one summer to discover what really matters most.
