My review of A Graceful Mess by Nacole Stayton----4 stars out of 5

I really enjoyed this book and it was more emotional than I thought it was going to be. The main character Grace is an overachiever and very anal with keeping everything in order. Instead of taking a break from graduating from college she is going straight to law school. It's the only way she knows how to keep going. While her friends are having fun and partying and enjoying life, Grace is studying and planning her future. Then one day she meets Parker, who can be my hero any time lol... Grace believes their meeting was just by chance and has no idea who or what Parker is. I feel bad for Parker because falling in love with Grace was not in his plans. She completely blew him away, and Grace finally met somebody who made her feel cherished. However, she has some secrets as well that Parker doesn't know. It all comes down one day where everything is revealed and words are said hearts are broken, and nothing is what it seems. Grace grew up with a lie and is hurt by everybody that knew and didn't tell her which also includes Parker. This book kept me captured all the way to the end. The first few chapters were just a bit slow but if you keep reading you will not regret it.
