The Promise of Amazing by Robin Constantine





 17844678
Here's the synopsis for The Promise of Amazing by Robin Constantine:

       Wren Caswell is the average "good" girl who's not exactly popular but also not a social outcast junior from Sacred Heart. She wants to change, Wren doesn't want to be the quiet girl anymore but her passiveness over the years has backfired and its hard to change from how people have seen her for years to someone who speaks and isn't exactly the good girl.

      Grayson Barrett ruled St. Gabe's. He was the Lacrosse star and on track to a brilliant future until he is expelled for selling term papers. Gray's life is going down hill fast and he needs to change but he's not quite sure how.

     One night they run into each other at Wren's Arthurian themed catering hall and quickly find their lives connected. The rest of their story is awkward, hilarious, and full of tender love.


     Now I originally found this book before it came out and I saw the cover and I instantly knew I had to read it. It was that book that I fell in love with the cover and not the actual book. I have a lot of mixed feelings for the book. The love story is sweet, the characters are... interesting and the plot is intriguing but if I had known all that was in the book I probably wouldn't have read it. At first I identified with Wren because I'm the quiet kid who sits in the back so that I doesn't have to get called on. As I got to know her better I started to realize that I'm not quite as worldly as she was. Grayson on the other hand, I couldn't identify with him at all. Number one because he's a guy and second because I haven't and hopefully will never find myself in his sort of situations. He's funny and charming though and get's into some hard places that made me frustrated for him. Robin Constantine did a wonderful job on keeping the tension and the pace of the story. I finished the book in two days of pretty much none stop reading because the characters are always in predicaments that are hard. One minute I found myself loving Grayson and the next all I could think was that he was a jerk. Overall the book was a fairly good read with a very unique love story that I don't think any girl wants to find herself in. I would recommend this book for anyone from 16 and older because there is a lot of swearing and a few adult situations. After I finished the book, I knew that I probably should have stopped at the beginning but Robin Constantine was so good at keeping the high stakes that I couldn't help but just keep reading just to see how the characters were going to get out of their predicaments. I hope you consider what I said about this book and really think about if its worth reading, because it wasn't exactly worth all of my time to me. If you do decide to give it a go then good luck and good reading!

Cover Reveal: Golden Touch!!

 Happy Tuesday!!  Today's the day! I turn 23 and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to share the cover for Golden Touch! I think this is by far my favorite cover my mom has ever done. It's crazy to think that this time last year Golden Touch was still just a first draft and I was in the middle of writing book 2 of the series. A defining part of my twenty-second year will always be having revised Golden Touch and written almost the entire Archive Series. And now I get to open up my twenty-third year with sharing the cover and writing book the first draft of book 5, the very last book in the series. God is so good guys. I really think He gave me Golden Touch and this whole series a few months before the events of 2020 started. He gave me a story I could get lost in, I could find joy in even during some of the hardest times of the year. And now I get to share the cover and I get to close out the series and I just pray and hope that God will use Golden Touch and...

How to Write A Survivalist Character During The Apocalypse

Hello friends! It's been a while... The last two weeks have been kind of nuts. The entire world is freaking out, everything's been turned upside down. Last week was rough... I had wanted to write out a birthday blog post and do something special on here for turning 22, but then everything happened and I was too stressed and I forgot to write anything, so that's kind of a bummer. I guess I could do it this week, but I feel like something else is needed for this week. I was thinking I should write some meaningful, hope-filled blog post. Write about what's going on in the world... but then I realized, everyone is already doing that. Social media is saturated with hope-filled positivity. And don't get me wrong, that's great! It's needed right now. To be honest though, Sunday night and into Monday I was getting pretty fed up with all the positivity. I think I was just overwhelmed and stressed, but I got pretty bitter and told my mom I was sick of hearing all th...

Five Tips for Getting in the Writing Mood

Happy June everyone!! I am both excited and a little anxious for this month... Excited because the twenty one pilots concert is at the end of the month and because my college class starts at the end of the month too (while also being a little anxious about it as well haha). Honestly, I don't know why I'm feeling a little off about this month... Maybe just cuz it feels like there's going to be a lot going on... I have an over the phone adviser meeting tomorrow and am helping at my church's VBS from 8 to 3 Monday through Friday next week. It'll be good but it's still a little daunting to think about :o But anyways! There's been this weird trend going on right now in my life. Just in the past week I've watched several live videos and authortube videos and read blog posts (most all of them about pantsers or having to do with pantsers in some way) and they all have included, well, pantser stuff but also how to stay in a writing mood. No one has mentioned h...
