ABOUT Letting
Go:
How long do you hold on?
Cori Elliott likes order. Her
schedule, her social life...even her GPA is perfect. Then she finds out her
high school boyfriend's death wasn't an accident—it was suicide. The
devastating revelation is enough to fracture her perfectly structured life,
sending Cori in a downward spiral of self-doubt and impulsive decisions.
And right into the arms of Luke
Evans.
But Cori's life isn't perfect anymore.
In fact, it's all coming apart. The only way she can save herself is to let go
of everything—including the girl she used to be. Even if it means losing the
one guy who might just be perfect for her in the process...

REVIEW
BY: DAWN
This is my first time reading work by
Jessica and I must say I quickly became a fan. This book took me on an
emotional healing journey while at the same time I struggled with my emotions.
I couldn't help but to feel a little sad for Cori during times in the book. She
was going through so much that you felt sad for her as well as the emotions she
was struggling with. On the same hand you had to feel bad for Luke because he
was the one that not only was helping her heal but was also fighting to get her
to open up not knowing that the secrets she wasn't telling him would ultimately
hurt him. Through the while book I found myself wanting to just wrap Cori up in
a hug and tell her everything would be ok while also wanting to slap some sense
into her. This book had me thinking about the struggle that young kids go
through with depression and suicide. I would definitely recommend this book as
it left a big impression on me.
REVIEW BY: ERIN
Cori is trying to get her
life in order. Everything has gone downhill the last few months. She decides
that is it okay to go out and have some fun. What she doesn’t count on is
meeting Luke. Luke is a great guy. He does a lot of work for his fraternity,
keeps up with his classes, and doesn’t appear to be a massive jerk. Their
relationship is effortless. They are so in sync and it is easy to be with each
other. But Cori doesn’t trust Luke enough to tell him about her past, which
causes major problems with their relationship. Luke has a very firm “no
lies” policy and he sticks to it.
These characters are very
likeable. They are both very smart and love to have fun. Cori learns she is a
fighter and that she has to go after what she wants.
ABOUT
THE AUTHOR:
Jessica Ruddick is a 2014 Golden
Heart finalist for her new adult novel, Letting Go, which was inspired by her
own college experiences. She lives in Virginia and is married to her college
sweetheart—their first date was a fraternity toga party (and nothing inspires
love like a toga, right?). When she doesn’t have her nose in a book or her
hands on a keyboard, she can be found wrangling her two rambunctious sons,
taming two rowdy but lovable rescue dogs, and battling the herd of dust bunnies
that has taken up residence in her home.
