Keeping Her (Losing It Novella, #1)

by Cora Carmack

[Leah]

Before I start this review, can I just admit something right off the bat? I can? Good. I LOVE Cora Carmack. I think she is quite easily the best new author to have come out of the whole New Adult genre. Her books are awesome, her characters are out of this world amazing (seriously, I want to be ALL of them, but mostly I want to be Max), and I’ve loved everything she’s released so far. Losing It, Faking It, and now Keeping Her, a novella which catches us up with Bliss and Garrick (YAY!) and let me tell you, it is so good to be back with Bliss and Garrick!

Like I said, Keeping Her is a novella, catching up with Bliss and Garrick almost a year after Losing It, and it sees them travelling to London to meet Garrick’s parents, something Bliss is ridiculously nervous about because, y’know, she doesn’t feel like she’s good enough for him (there is no one better for Garrick than Bliss, BELIEVE ME) and the trip gets off to an auspicious start when Bliss accidentally breaks a vase, but one simple question from Garrick’s mother sends Bliss into a tailspin, she begins to wonder if she and Garrick are as ready for marriage and all of the commitment as she thought…

I really enjoyed Keeping Her, it was a quick and easy read, that took me just under an hour to complete. It was so good to be back with Bliss and Garrick again – so good, that I do wish it had been a little bit longer, if I’m being totally honest. I liked seeing London through Bliss’s eyes and learning a little bit more of what Garrick had been like before Texas, before Bliss, before America and it was a really sweet read. I do wonder if we might get a full-length book about Bliss and Garrick again, I think if Carmack really wanted to do that, it would be totally ace and the fans would devour it, because it seems like with Bliss and Garrick there are always so many wonderful stories to explore and I for one would love a book about their wedding. Keeping Her was just wonderful, and I can’t wait for Carmack’s next book Finding It, which is Kelsey’s book (Bliss’s best friend!).
