Wishing For Someday Soon [Kindle Edition]

Tiffany King (Author)

Book Description

Seventeen year old Katelyn Richards is a stronger person than anyone will ever know, and that is just the way she wants it. Behind her normal facade lies the reality of a broken home life. Thanks to her abusive mother, a string of deadbeat stepfathers, and an unsympathetic system, Katelyn has learned that the only one she can count on is herself. Her life's mission has become to shield her nine year old brother, Kevin, and to give him the future that they both wish for. A life with no more abuse, no worries about where their next meal will come from, and no more wondering if they will have a roof over their heads.

When her mother moves them again, this time to a small town in Montana, Katelyn's resolve is shaken when she meets Max, a cute boy from her new school, who gets a glimpse into her real world. Max slowly manages to break through Katelyn's wall of distrust, stirring up feelings she never saw coming. Now with her world more complicated than she ever intended, Katelyn struggles with the decision to follow her heart into the arms of the first boy she has ever loved. A decision that could risk the promise she made to protect Kevin, and to give them the 'someday soon' that is so close within their grasp.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish All Teenagers Were Like Katelyn April 22, 2012

By Silly Girl

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I can't help but love reading a book centered around a strong heroine. What makes it even more special is that it's about a teenager. Too many YA books focus on gossipy, back stabbing arch-enemies, love triangles,or female characters who are suppose to be smart, but act stupid and make a bunch of dumb decisions the minute a cute guy looks their way. Katelyn is a responsible teenager that you can't help but admire (especially considering her background). The hero, Max, was a wonderful sweetheart of a guy as well. I was rooting for those two the minute they met.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review for Wishing for Someday Soon by Tiffany King May 5, 2012

By Alyssa

Format:Paperback

Summary: 17-year-old Katelyn and her younger brother Kevin having been moving every since they were little. With an abusive mother, a million and one stepdads, and no help from anyone, Katelyn has learned how to fend for herself and more importantly, her brother. Nothing in the world matters more to her than Kevin. But when the family moves again to a tiny town in Montana, Katelyn's walls begin to fall. Max is cute, nice, and one of the only ones who really see her for her, Katelyn. Katelyn must make a choice to protect Kevin and finally get their "someday soon".

What I Liked: I'm usually not a huge fan of contemporary fiction, but when I won this book from Ms. King, I couldn't say no. Her other books are...really good to say the least. So I was curious as to how well she would write a contemporary novel. I have to say, Ms. King executed this book beautifully. I loved reading about Katelyn's struggles. I have never been in this situation, as I'm sure many people haven't, but then, many people have. It was an eye-opener for me in some ways. I could feel Katelyn's heartbreak when leaving books behind, and excitement when getting new ones. You couldn't NOT empathize with Katelyn. While some of her decisions weren't always smart, they were usually to protect Kevin, and that is so noble. Someone so selfless is admirable. Ms. King couldn't have written this any better. It was such a poignant, bittersweet, but beautiful read. I'm so used to reading fantasy, paranormal, or action books for young adults and adults alike. Reading contemporary fiction was quite a change, and a great change.

What I Did Not Like: There were a few (and I must say a FEW) grammatical and spelling errors. I did receive the first copy of the first edition print copies, so this could have been just me. But that's it. It was a quick, heart-throbbing/heart-pounding, stand-alone novel.

Would I Recommend It: Yes! To any teenager and up. As well as any of Ms. King's other books :D

Rating: 4 stars. Right on the dot.

Great job, Ms. King! I can't wait to read her next contemporary novel, and others books to come!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank God for teachers like hers! July 12, 2012

By dthartma

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Tiffany actually visited the high school where I teach reading, University High School in Orange City, Florida. She spoke to our students about her motivation for writing the book. She was so sweet and sincere, we all fell in love with her! She autographed books and took pictures with the students, as well as passing out free books to many students. It was a big hit and the students plowed through it.

The entire time I was reading the book I saw her face. I thank God for the teachers and friends that touched the main characters life. I wish her all the success in the world!

I loved the ending!
