(I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.)
Burning September is an incredible book that everyone needs to read. Katya, or Kat, lives in the shadows of her older and more perfect sister, Caroline. After raising her and being a big constant in her life, Caroline gets arrested for murder and Kat’s life gets turned upside down. Kat has never been on her own until now and with the help of Caroline’s attorney, they’re trying to get her back home but there are a lot of answers that need to be uncovered before then. Will Kat be able to handle it?
I love that this book contained more focus on the relationship between Kat and her sister than it did about romance. Don’t get me wrong, there was a good amount of romance in this book and I just about fell in love with Kyle myself but I strongly believe this story revolves around the sisters and their past, present and future. This is about Kat finding who she is for the first time after realizing how much she felt dependent on Caroline. This is about her finding love and true friendships that help her realize that no one is perfect and forgiveness can be very hard but worth it.
Overall, this book was incredible and even though I already have an eBook copy of it, I’m going to be buying a print copy of this for my bookcase so all of my friends can see it and ask about it.
This book deserves a 5 out of 5 rating.
