Variation by Rebecca YarrosMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I cried so many times. I am still crying. This book was far better than I had expected. I love Rebecca Yarros, but after reading some reviews it had me second guessing if I should read this or not. I am so glad I did though! Allie and Hudson's love was relatable. A second chance romance between two people who grew up as secret best friends?! Didn't know I needed that in my life, but I was here for it. This story is inspiring, tragic, swoon worthy, and heartbreaking.
I think what I liked most was that it was plot driven, but the spice was spicing.
Hudson + "barre" = the best part.
