My Thoughts
In my opinion I can't have a favorite KA book because each one I read becomes my favorite until I read another new one or re-read one of my now entire collection that she has created! (Yes I will admit I re-read her books..and quite frequently..that is how amazing I found her stories, writing styles, etc.)
I found Soaring to be funny, sweet, sad, aggravating and much more. At times I was cringing for many of the characters (hello first kiss..eckkk!! or the Thanksgiving dinner..yikes talk about a tie for most awkward but lovable moments!) I loved so many of the situations and by-plays between the characters. My favorite part though was the tie in of all of the characters from The Will. So many times I am not ready for a story to be over, so I completely enjoy how KA always has her characters return throughout the series. Additionally while Amelia and Mickey are the primary characters, I felt as though the secondary characters were just as strong and well important. I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out what actually was going on with Mickey's daughter..was she pregnant, mad, depressed/cutting herself, etc. No spoilers here so find out by reading but I loved the character development where it had me racking my brains trying to figure this out. I also loved loved loved Mickey's son..I thought he was adorable! Amelia's children were just was well developed. I could read/feel and visualize the change in their dynamic as the story progressed. Many times I teared up over a conversation or interaction between them.
Now you may be reading this and thinking..wait a second..a romance story that has this many kids?? but it works and works beautifully! The relationship and the struggles the two endure on their path through the story are hilarious, poignant, eye-opening and quite endearing. To put it in "hashtag"speak one might say #relationshipgoals is a defining sentiment to Amelia and Mickey!
Now, for my closing thought for yet another fantastic KA story....will Mickey ever beat Jake?
