Review:

Miranda Kenneally has done it once again! I absolutely fell in love with Defending Taylor from the very first page!!

Very quickly into the story, you are introduced to Taylor, a senior, captain of the soccer team and straight A student. Being the daughter of a Senator, Taylor has high expectations she is expected to live up to. She must do well in school, respect the family name and make no mistakes.

Why do I have to work so hard to make him proud? Can't he love me for me?

Taylor ends up making a mistake, that not only causes her problems with her family, but also gets her kicked out of school. The only way to move forward, is to go back to where her life started. Taylor must go back to public school and Hundred Oaks High to finish off her senior year.

Sometimes, problems grow like a crack in the ceiling that starts out small but expands if you're not paying attention.

I simply cannot say enough good things about this novel. I sat down, anticipating to only read a few chapters, however, I ended up devouring the entire book in one sitting. It is definitely a must read, as are Miranda's other books in the Hundred Oaks Series.

It's your life. If you want to live, you need to do what you love.

5/5 Stars!
