Description
None of it was Savanna’s fault. Her mother made mistakes. As mothers do. And then she died. As mothers do … sometimes.
Savanna arrives in Jessop, Texas with memories of her mother throbbing in her chest and a grumpy rescue dog trailing behind. Her father has made it clear: it’s time to stop avoiding her grief and face it head-on. So, together, they are renovating her mother’s childhood home. But when Savanna runs into Blake – the boy with the scar running down his face like a teardrop – he looks at her with blame in his eyes. Drummond looks at her differently. He's comfortable, selfish, and simple. And, most importantly, he doesn’t fault her.
After uncovering secrets from her mother’s past, Savanna is forced to reconcile the vibrant, strong mother she knew with the girl who lived in this small town long ago – the one who changed Blake and Drummond’s lives forever.
In the middle of her healing process, Savanna is suddenly faced with more devastation: a wild, unforgiving fire that tears through town, threatening lives and leaving families stranded. Savanna will have to put the ashes of her own life aside and unite with the others to face the destruction … if she wants to make it out alive.

This was a new author for me . I never read anything from this author before but for the most part I really liked this book. I thought the whole story was amazing. I honestly didn’t want this book to end. I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with on the next book they write. I usually judge a book from the cover because for me it shows if it’s going to be interesting or not and I loved the book.
Wildfire by K. Vann O'Brien revolves around Savannah, who spends the summer with her father Texas. To be exact in the childhood house of her deceased mother to renovate the old building.
The story deals with a lot with grief and loss. Savannah is a teenage girl that grows with every hurdle life throws at her. It was a delight to see her getting stronger. Life is never easy. It is a miracle not to lose your sparkle within these times. The characters in the story are all very lovable. It was a nice and quick read with a slow burn romance between teenagers.
