BOOK: Blue Sky Days

Blue Sky Days
By Marie Landry

Blue Sky Days

Summary

A year after graduating from high school, nineteen-year-old Emma Ward feels lost. She has spent most of her life trying to please her frigid, miserable mother - studying hard, getting good grades, avoiding the whole teenage rebellion thing - and now she feels she has no identity beyond that. Because she spent so many years working hard and planning every moment of her life, she doesn't have any friends, has never had a boyfriend, and basically doesn't know who she is or what she really wants from life. Working two part-time jobs to save money for college hasn't helped her make decisions about her future, so she decides it's time for a change. She leaves home to live with her free-spirited, slightly eccentric Aunt Daisy in a small town that makes Emma feel like she's stepped back in time.

When Emma meets Nicholas Shaw, everything changes - he's unlike anyone she's ever met before, the kind of man she didn't even know existed in the 21st century. Carefree and spirited like Daisy, Nicholas teaches Emma to appreciate life, the beauty around her, and to just let go and live. Between Daisy and Nicholas, Emma feels like she belongs somewhere for the first time in her life, and realizes that you don't always need a plan - sometimes life steers you where you're meant to be.

Life is wonderful, an endless string of blue sky days, until Nicholas is diagnosed with cancer, and life changes once again for Emma in ways she never thought possible. Now it's time for her to help Nicholas the way he's helped her. Emma will have to use her new-found strength, and discover along the way if love really is enough to get you through.

It's a story that will break your heart and mend it all over again.

Blues sky days is such a wonderful book. it somehow make you believe that everything is possible with love. i cried a lot while reading the book. and when i say a lot it means a lot! The story thought me how life is short  that you can be happy at first then sorrowful the next. the book will teach you how to see life in a different light. and make you realize that you should not take life for granted, and just make the most out of it.

Emma, is such a lonely girl. she doesn't feel love, especially by the one who should love her most, but, coming to Riverview she learned a lot of things. like how life should really be, how happiness is just around the corner waiting for her. i just lover her for being strong, and knowing what she wants in the end. i love her for loving Nicholas so much and never giving up on him and that she became his foundation when he really needed her.

Nicholas, is such a sweet sweet boy,his just so full of life and love, i love his sweetness towards Emma and everybody else. and even when his going through something that really heavy his sense of humor is still in tact. and his just so strong and very positive.

Daisy, is just fun and lovable. you'll just love her no matter what.

Tilly, is just plain MEAN.

Vince and Maggie, i think are the sweetest friends and they're just so warm.

Read it, You'll love it.
