The Key to Everything

Paula Stokes

EXPECTED PUBLICATION – December or January 2018 by Paula Stokes

GENRE(S): YOUNG ADULT, CONTEMPORARY, ROMANCE

College senior Oakland Fuller has always believed in signs and soulmates, so when both a therapist and a fortuneteller say that her repeated relationship failures are due to unresolved feelings for her high school boyfriend, Seth, Oakland tries desperately to get back in touch with him. Problem: Seth isn’t responding to her online messages.

To rescue Oakland from a pathetic Christmas break of sitting in front of the computer, her best friend Morgan books the two of them on a guided excursion of Thailand. When the girls meet a pair of American soldiers in Bangkok, Oakland takes Morgan’s advice and engages in a little harmless holiday hooking up. Sergeant Tyson Banks is the perfect mix of sexy and fun. Two weeks with him might just turn out to be the best relationship Oakland has ever had.

Until the day she spots someone familiar across a crowded temple complex—it’s Seth! Somehow the boy she’s been trying to reconnect with is in Bangkok too. If that’s not a sign, then what is?

Filed with friendship, romance, and gorgeous faraway settings,The Key to Everything is a book for anyone who’s ever dreamed of finding love when (or where) they least expected it.

Paula Stokes is one of my favorite authors. I fell in love with her writing style last year when I read Girl Against the Universe, a YA contemporary romance. Recently, I finished the Vicarious duology, a YA mystery /thriller, and LOVE that so much too! There’s no doubt in my mind that Paula is a talented and versatile writer. Her writing is so captivating and always hits all the right FEELS. I’m really excited to get into this book! The Key to Everything sounds so amazing that I just know I’m going to love it.

Any thoughts about this book? Anyway thanks for reading and have a great day!

Hello lovelies! Time for another WWW Wednesdays which is a weekly meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words.

Just answer these three questions:

What did you recently finish reading?
What are you currently reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?

I recently finished reading No Plain Rebel by M.C. Frank. I absolutely love this series. I’m currently reading the third and final book and totally taking my time. I didn’t get to read that much over the weekend, but I did spend some quality time with my boyfriend. We binged Season 3 of Gotham and finally finished it Sunday night.

I usually just read 2-3 books at the same time, but I must be feeling super motivated! Currently reading No Vain Loss by M.C. Frank (really trying to enjoy this one because I’m not ready for the series to come to an end), Odd and True by Cat Winters, The Wishing Heart by J.C. Welker and My Sophomore Year of Rules (School Dayz #4) by Jennifer DiGiovanni. So far I’m enjoying all these books and hoping to finish at least 2 by Friday.

I don’t even know what I want to read next. There are just way too many to finish for reviews, but I’ll just go with these three. Berserker by Emmy Laybourne, All the Wind in the World by Samantha Mabry, and Dirty Little Promise (Forbidden Desires #2) by Kendall Ryan.
