All the Little Lights by Jamie McGuire
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Jamie McGuire's All The Little Lights is an emotional representation of a romance between two young and wounded souls. Catherine Calhoun and Elliott Youngblood.
The epilogue starts off with Elliott stuck in a tree in the girl's backyard. Catherine was with her dad, burying their dog Booger and Elliott did not want to come down for fear of disturbing her or risk seen as a 'creeper.'
She lives on Juniper Street in a big old Victorian mansion. He was visiting his Aunt Leigh for the summer. The story moves as slow as molasses. Catherine was keeping one hell of a secret.
All the Little Lights is a contemporary romance, but it felt like reading a suspense novel at times, mainly when the Juniper's "guests" were so weird.
When a girl that Catherine hates disappears everyone blames it on her and Elliott is unaware of the danger she is in.
Catherine's mama is "weird" and has outbursts of rage which is the reason why Catherine lives in fear.
