Romance Suspense

BRIGHT SIDE is the story of nineteen year old Kate Sedgwick who moves from San Diego to go to Grant college in Minnesota. She has had a very difficult childhood. But she is true to her nickname, Bright Side. She is such a kind and big-hearted woman who brings joy into the lives of everyone she meets.

Let me tell you right now, keep the tissues handy because her story is going to make you cry! Cry buckets and ugly. Don't try to hold it in either because it can't be done. I finished two hours ago and I'm still weepy. Fans of Colleen Hoover( who love a good cry) are going to love BRIGHT EYES and the emotions it will pull from deep down in your heart and soul.

Gus has been best friends with Kate since they were both young kids. He has been there for her through her rough childhood and everything she had to deal with. They have always been just best friends, they have never crossed the line until the night before she left for college. After she leaves, they try to forget that the night of them being together ever happened and go on with their friendship. Gus is the person who gave Kate the nickname BRIGHT SIDE because no matter what is going on in Kate's life, she is always happy and laughing and looks on the bright side of life. After you finish reading her story you are going to wonder how that was possible for her.

While she is at Grant she meets Keller who rocks her world. He works at the coffee shop where Kate always goes for her daily fix. He flirts with her and she flirts back but she thinks he's off limits as she has heard rumors that he has a long distance girlfriend. Well, after a long while, Keller sets the record straight and they become close. When she realizes that she is falling for him she tries to push him away, but he isn't having any of it. He knows she feels exactly the same as him but she just won't admit it. She finally comes clean with Keller and tells him what is going on. He tells her that no matter what happens, he wants to be there and love her. Get ready for your heart to be pulled out of your chest and smashed! I could not stop crying reading the last one hundred pages and BRIGHT SIDE is a story that is going to stay with me for a long long time.

SUMMARY

Secrets. Everyone has one. Some are bigger than others. And when secrets are revealed— Some will heal you. And some will end you.

Kate Sedgwick’s life has been anything but typical. She’s endured hardship and tragedy, but she remains consistently optimistic (there’s a reason her best friend, Gus, calls her Bright Side). She’s strong-willed, funny, musically gifted, and smart. She’s also never believed in love. So when Kate leaves her hometown of San Diego for college in the small town of Grant, Minnesota the last thing she expects to find is Keller Banks. The attraction is immediate. And intense. And mutual. But each of them has a reason to fight it. A secret.

Secrets. Some will heal you … And some will end you …
