This was just a preview, but I didn't feel compelled to read the rest of the book. To be honest, the characters were annoying. I would not want to read an entire book dedicated to them as main characters. I have never read anything else by this author, and this book preview doesn't make it likely that I will. Not my kind of book.

(I received an advance copy of this book for free. Thanks to Pan Macmillan and NetGalley.)

I was interested in the book due to the love story and Caleb and Sierra discover the one thing that transcends all else: true love, I really enjoyed the story between them, good read, first time, reading from Jay Asher. Would recommend the book if you want a love story.

There are few things I love more than Christmas. Christmas lights, Christmas cheer, Christmas families, Christmas Trees, Christmas Love. I was head over heels when I was given the chance to read this book on here, and I'm so so so so thankful to the author and the publisher. I was surprised and delighted to see there were father/daughter scenes of such depth and moving emotion as well, almost bringing me to tears.

What Light by Jay Asher is a clean, young adult romance that takes place during the Christmas season. This setting makes What Light perfect for a warm, cozy, winter read! Sierra and her family leave their Oregon tree farm and head to their California tree lot each year around Thanksgiving until Christmas. This might be their last year doing this, so Sierra wants to make it memorable. Her friends in Oregon miss her during this time, while her friend in California, Heather, loves Sierra being near. Heather wants to double date and is trying to find someone for Sierra, but Sierra takes care of that on her own when she meets and gets to know Caleb. There is a bad rumor going around about Caleb and something he did in the past. My curiosity kept me reading and I enjoyed the whole Christmas theme. The realistic kindness warmed my heart. Caleb introduces Sierra to his mom and sister in an awkward moment. The relationship between Caleb and Sierra struggles because of gossip, parents and the long distance between their homes and they have to learn how to handle all of these problems if they want to make their relationship work. A touching romance that's perfect for the holiday season or anytime you want to feel warm and cozy - 4.5 stars!

I'm so excited for this book. I bought the hardcover. Will be putting up a review of the full book on lindsayjmarsh.wordpress.com

Just in time for the holidays, an emotional romance that is an easier sell to parents than "13 Reasons Why". This sneak peek gave me a taste, although I recommend with reservation because I haven't read the entire book yet.
