I'll Stand By You by Sharon Sala

I'll Stand by You


I’ll Stand by You plays like a movie. 

Adorable “Dori” Grant is working at a cafe washing dishes. She has a little baby, Luther Joe at home. She's almost twenty one, has a GED and she’s taking classes to learn web design. Her grandfather helps her taking care of the baby while she works. 

In the same town of Blessings, Johnny Pine is raising his two younger brothers: Marshall and B. Both kids are good kids. They are smart and funny. When B is attacked at school, Johnny will need to fight prejudices against his last name. He will do anything to keep his family.

In one terrible night, Dori and Johnny paths crossed. And in an act of human decency will link them together. Soon, the town has more gossip to disperse and this couple may loose it all. 

“the truth is that when you’ve survived the worst, it doesn’t take nearly as long to recognize the best.”

Sweet, is the best way to describe this book. 



It’s based in a small town where everyone pretty much knows everyone’s business. 
Johnny is an amazing brother. He is respectful, smart and cares deeply for those 2 little boys. When it was time to defend them, he shined. Johnny melted my heart.

“And that was Johnny Pine’s gift to her.
He’d given her a soft place to fall.”

Dori was such a likable character. She was doing everything she could to help her little baby. She demonstrated spark when she needed it. 

“maybe one day, if I’m lucky, you’ll look up and realize you can’t live without me. In the meantime, I can love you enough for both of us.”

Cliffhanger: No

5/5 Fangs

Title : I See You Author : I See You Publisher : Berkley Books Release Date :  April 4, 2017  When Zoe Walker sees her photo in the classifieds section of a London newspaper, she is determined to find out why it's there. There's no explanation, no website: just a grainy image and a phone number. She takes it home to her family, who are convinced it's just someone who looks like Zoe. But the next day the advert shows a photo of a different woman, and another the day after that. Is it a mistake? A coincidence? Or is someone keeping track of every move they make . . Amazon |   Barnes & Noble "Routine is comforting to you. It’s familiar, reassuring. Routine makes you feel safe. Routine will kill you." I Let You Go was so freaking amazing that I knew I wanted to read Clare's next book. I couldn't wait for the American version, so I started the British one right away (thanks book depository!).  T...
