Teen Book Review: The Promise of Amazing by Robin Constantine



Amazon Summary:


Wren Caswell is average. Ranked in the middle of her class at Sacred Heart, she's not popular, not a social misfit. Wren is the quiet good girl who's always done what she's supposed to-only now, in her junior year, this passive strategy is backfiring. She wants to change but doesn't know how.

Grayson Barrett was the king of St. Gabe's: star of the lacrosse team, top of his class, and on the fast track to a brilliant future-until he was expelled for being a "term-paper pimp." Now Gray is in a downward spiral and needs to change but doesn't know how.

One fateful night, their paths cross at Wren's family's Arthurian-themed catering hall. What follows is the complicated, awkward, hilarious, and tender tale of two teens shedding their pasts, figuring out who they are-and falling in love.

Book Review:



Wren Caswell doesn’t like being told what she can and can’t do. Maybe that’s what caused the profoundly attractive, Grayson Barrett, to seek out the seemingly average girl also known as Wren. Or maybe it’s because she saved his life.

Wren Caswell has always been comfortable with being the quiet one, until it no longer proved to be beneficial. Grayson Barrett was a little too confident at times, but together they were just what the other needed. I enjoyed this book quite a lot. And the fact that I enjoyed it quite a lot surprised me because I’m not usually a fan of realistic fiction however, I found myself unable to put the book down.

I fell in love with the characters after every new page as I watched them develop throughout the entire novel. I fell in love with Wren’s character especially because she became so confident and so strong! This book portrays love, friendship, loyalty and strength. If you love the realistic fiction genre and don’t know what to read next, this should definitely be your next read!

Enjoy!
