The Reason Why by Izzibella Beau – Review by Maura Harper

The Reason Why: Breathless Series by Izzibella Beau
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. THE REASON WHY is a Y/A Coming of Age story about a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who gets taken in by her mom’s friend when things get tough. Some of it was cliché, some of it was predictable, however the story had enough originality to it that it held my attention and encouraged me to stick with it until the end.

There are a few little twists in the story that were unexpected. The story kind of reminded me of a John Hughes movie. Characters were age appropriate most of the time, made poor decisions some of the time, and always moved the story along at a good pace.

I am not the target demographic for the story and I enjoyed it so I imagine those who fit the demo will also enjoy it. I think this book should have come with a soundtrack as well. Music was a big part of it with an original song written for the story. Would have been cool to hear what the author’s inspiration was.

This book was a solid 4 stars for me.
