It can be difficult to make the choice to embrace ourselves, to risk what we love and hold dear. Within the book there are also gorgeously lyrical poems from Karina that will rip whatever tears you have behind your eyes out onto your cheeks. The pieces of ourselves we hide behind leather and sarcasm. To the hidden truths they have within their heart, their fluttering dreams, and secret ambitions. Counting Down with You is a story about seeing through to people’s essences. While I was 100% in love with Karina’s story and journey, I loved how Ace’s character was developed.

But Ace Clyde does everything right-he brings her coffee in the mornings, impresses her friends without trying, and even promises to buy her a dozen books (a week) if she goes along with his fake-dating facade. Pretending to date him? Out of the question. Tutoring the school’s resident bad boy was already crossing a line. Instead, one simple lie unravels everything. When her parents go abroad to Bangladesh for four weeks, Karina expects some peace and quiet. Keep her head down, get through high school without a fuss, and follow her parents’ rules-even if it means sacrificing her dreams.
