Release Day & Review: Be the Girl by K.A. Tucker
Book Description:
From the national bestselling author of the Ten Tiny Breaths series and The Simple Wild comes a poignant story about a girl trying to change her future while evading her past. Almost sixteen-year-old Aria Jones is starting over. New postal code, new last name, new rules. But she doesn’t mind, because it means she can leave her painful regrets behind. In the bustling town of Eastmonte, she can become someone else. Someone better. With the Hartford family living next door, it seems she will succeed. Sure, Cassie Hartford may be the epitome of social awkwardness thanks to her autism, but she also offers an innocent and sincere friendship that Aria learns to appreciate. And Cassie’s older brother, Emmett—a popular Junior A hockey player with a bright future—well … Aria wishes that friendship could lead to something more. If he didn’t already have a girlfriend, maybe it would. But Aria soon finds herself in a dicey moral predicament that could derail her attempt at a fresh start. It is her loyalty to Cassie and her growing crush on Emmett that leads her to make a risky move, one that earns her a vindictive enemy who is determined to splinter her happy new world.

FIVE BOUNDLESS STARS
Be the Girl is more than I thought it would be. I never read blurbs. I know, but maybe I love the surprise. Aria has a past, one that she tries to distance herself from. Moving to a new city, she can start a new life with her mom. But still, the past clings to her in such a way, that she can’t deny who she was. There is a lot that goes on in this story. It brought me to tears because for one; there’s so much to learn. Bullying is never ok, and as you navigate this story, it will touch you deeply. Because I think we’ve all had some type of bullying in our lives. Or maybe we insinuated the bullying without even knowing. Aria’s story is one that will stick with me. Which seems to happen with a lot of books written by Tucker. This is a perfect story for any teen. I think it’s one that I’ll keep and give to my daughter. So she knows that there’s always going to be those that are different. But that’s ok, and we should never bully anyone. We don’t know what they deal with on a daily basis. This is a brilliantly written story. That I believe can also be used to raise awareness. Overall, Five Boundless Stars.
