Under the Sweet Gum Trees

By: Crysta McHenry

Narrated by: Lauren Rodriguez

Ada wanted one thing in her life. She wanted to be loved, and she would do anything to feel that way.

It’s already hard enough to be sixteen. It’s even harder when your home life is dysfunctional. Ada’s parents’ marriage is in shambles, but her dad was just diagnosed with an incurable illness. The fighting was more intense than ever before, and Ada wanted to be anywhere else but home.

Her life seemed to change for the better when her crush, Greg, asked her on a date. She was out and about more and less affected by the chaos at home.

But what happens if the relationship isn’t all it seemed to be? How can you know what is a healthy relationship if you have never seen one before?

Great book, very enjoyable but definitely could be better. It is well written but is missing something, would be great if there are some sound effects. Overall great book to listen to.
