How I Lost You by Janet Gurtler
4.0
This book was so good. I haven't read a Contemporary YA this wonderful in a long time, trust me. I finished it in a day, and barely ever stopped reading!
What makes this book so good are the characters. Their struggles and emotions are portrayed in a very realistic way. My Favorite character was definitely Levi.
Another thing I liked was the fact that the main characters, Grace and Kya, are female paintballers. I mean, when did you last read a book with female paintballers as the main characters? I even got to learn a teensy bit about the sport, though I admittedly didn't know very much about it to start with.
But the thing that I loved most about How I Lost You was the ending.
In closing, I really liked How I Lost You, and I would definitely recommend it!
I received this book via Goodreads First Reads. This in no way affects my review.

All I can say after winning this is WOW. This was one book that I was not expecting to win at all, but that I was really hoping to read anyway! It sounds so good, and after I read the reviews for it, I only wanted to read it more. I am really happy right now! Thanks to all who made this giveaway possible!

Spoiler
In many a book I have read about friends growing apart, the friends get back together and promise to be best friends forever, or something like that. Which is nice and all, but that doesn't always happen in real life. Sometimes, you forgive each otherj, but you just know you'll never be as close to the person you once were...I'll stop here so I don't give everything away.In closing, I really liked How I Lost You, and I would definitely recommend it!
