Ashleigh's Reviews > New Bloom

New Bloom by A.E. Gamrat is the first book in her Boom series, which includes Eternal bloom as well. Those that have read my review on Eternal Bloom will love this book because its full of the same rollercoasters of emotion and family issues as Eternal bloom the story takes place before that one giving the reader some great back story. Readers find Gwen just graduating from college and the real world hits her like a ton of bricks. The relationship between Gwen and her mother is tumultuous, with Gwen trying to live her own life all while attempting to keep her mother happy, and yet somehow Gwen is always in the wrong. Being pulled in some many directions leaves Gwen with her head spinning, even more so when a new love interest enters the picture. Life was never meant to be easy peasy, and Gwen is learning the hard way that she is going to have to grow up and go her way before she can be truly happy. Gamrat made a great follow up to her first book in this series, showing her reader a great view of the relationship between Gwen, her mother, and everything between them. I can't wait to see where she takes this series down the road, as I will be the first one to pick up the next in this series for sure.
