Beautiful romance! I really fell in love with the characters! It was so touching and heart felt! I would recommend this to everyone who loves to read heart-pulling romance!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

I originally read this story on Wattpad several years ago and again now that it is in book form. She's With Me is a great young adult romantic thriller with lots of twists and interesting characters. It is entertaining and fast-paced. Be warned there is a cliffhanger at the end, but it is still worth the read. 4 Stars!

This is the first book I’ve read from this author and I’m pleasantly surprised. From my understanding, it was on Wattpad before, and this is everything I’d expect from a Wattpad novel.

Young love, a crazy story plot, and lots of drama! Lots and lots of drama.

What I liked:
Aiden. He’s a sweet guy with a tough exterior. Therefore, he is my weakness.
The plot. It got pretty intense in some places and it was well written.
Amelia, or Thea. She was strong and I loved her for it. She doesn’t let her life get the best of her and is constantly standing her ground and sticking up for herself or anyone else she thinks needs it.
The group of friends. They’re what every person wants in highschool. A close knit group of friends. I LOVED each character and their role in the group. I’d like to see their stories develops more. Especially Noah and Mason.
Aiden and Amelia’s slow burn romance. ‘Nuff said.

What I didn’t like:
Too much fighting. I get that’s how Aiden is, but it was just constant fighting. Maybe show a little more of his softer side or one on one time with Amelia.
Sometimes the book was just a lot of them hanging out and laughing, which I loved because they’re hilarious, but I would have liked to see a bit more plot development.

A little side note just based on my reading preferences. I’d love to have had a little more physical description detailed throughout the book to refresh my memory. Maybe a little reminder of their hair color? I found myself forgetting who looked like what and I love being able to paint vivid pictures in my mind as I read.

Overall, it was a good story and I’d read the next one because HOLY CLIFFHANGER!

There were many, many great things that this book did well which brought it to a 5. First off, while many events or aspects of the book can be found in other books if the same genre, She’s With Me was able to pull it off in a way that was stunningly unique. Overall, I got a bit of S. E. Hinton’s The Outsiders vibes in here, in the tight knit friend groups, rivalry, and conflicts. Yet, the author was able to weave everything together so that this book was unique to itself. This isn’t just a book that traces the romance between two characters—there’s a complexity to the development of characters and plot that adds so much more.
And my gosh, the plot twists! They had me up on the edge of my seat!
5+/5, Amazing book.

In “She's With Me (She's With Me #1)” by Jessica Cunsolo we meet “Amelia” who is running from a dangerous past. She plans on plowing through senior year with her head down, being invisible. But she does not even make it one day when she literally runs into the scariest boy on campus. Aiden Parker is a lot of more then what people see on the surface and Amelia cannot help but be drawn to him and his friend group.

With new friends, school rivalries, and constantly getting herself into trouble Amelia feels like a real teenager again – that is until “he” finds her again.

A fun read with two follow up stories.

I throughly enjoyed this book. It took me a bit to get into it, but once I did, I couldn’t stop reading it. I got super invested in the story and the characters. I loved the friendship group so much. They were there for each other, through everything. Because let me tell you, they go through a hell of a lot throughout this book. Amelia (Thea), was a great main character. I liked the fact that you didn’t know why, her and her mom kept moving, until halfway through the book. I was trying to figure out why she was on the run. Also, a couple of twists happened that I didn’t see coming. I can’t wait for the next one.

I really struggled with this book as the prose is overly dramatic which makes it difficult to take the characters seriously. I think possibly I misread the blurb as romance, when it's more YA - which is not a favourite genre for me.

Very good read full of twists & turns. Keeps you gripped to the end. Very disappointed it is a two part story and just at the worst part of the story it end!!
I would have given it a 5/5 had it not just end!!!

This book was very well written and the story kept me interested throughout the book. I loved the drama and the suspense. Loved the development of the characters and the discoveries we made along the way. Very good mix of romance, high school drama and mystery/suspense.

Absolutely incredible book. Needs a good editor and content editor but there was so much happening in the book I was able to over look. I need book 2 asap. This book was a page turner. 4 solid stars, with editing I think it would be 5

This is my first book by Cunsolo but it will NOT be my last. This book is filled with interesting characters and a plot that made me stay up way too late reading it! I love the idea of the character in witness protection is genius and I adored Amelia! The chemistry and friendship between her and Aiden was very satisfying. I CANNOT wait for the next book to come out! Great read and worth every star.

She’s with me is a ya book about a young girl who is on the run. She never stays in one place to long or her past will catch up. Starting her senior year at a new school is difficult enough until she runs straight into the bad boys of school. Little does she know it will change her life!

This book was good and does portray a strong heroine while her leading man is dark and brooding but he’s got his soft sides too! The secondary characters seriously make this book what it is. Mason and Noah are two side kicks who just make you laugh and then there is Charlotte and Chase who are more serious but Chase is something else and someone I think we can all relate to, them there’s Julian and Anna. They are a little bit more damaged and are just perfect for each other. They are fierce protectors and do whatever they have to to protect one another! Amelia isn’t suppose to make friends, She is suppose to keep her head down and stay out of trouble. However this girl can’t and it makes for an interesting journey.

Wow! I knew from reading the description of the book that I would like it but I didn't expect to be as entertained as I was. So much so that I finished it in one sitting.

I fond the characters to be extremely entertaining and captivating. If you think something about someone, the next chapter completely changes your mind. The same goes for the story. I thought it was going in one direction and it actually took an entirely different turn.

There were a few plot holes though. The fact that there in high school but there's absolutely hardly any parental supervision whats so ever. That and a certain family situation that I find completely hard to believe would actually happen in real life. There are a few other small holes that I rose my eyebrows at but honestly, all those dont affect how much I liked this book.

It's been a while since I've read a book surrounding high school students and I really enjoyed it.

I can't wait for this to come out to the public because I know that everyone will enjoy this as much as me!

I want to thank Netgalley for providing me with this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book was honestly amazing.
I read the blurb and was instantly drawn in.
There was a lot going on in this book it was fast paced and sucked me in from the very start.
The writing flowed beautifully and I was rooting for the main characters the whole way through.
I can’t wait for the sequel I am now a massive fan of this author and look forward to reading more of their work in the future.
4 stars.

I honestly don't know what to say about this book. Are the characters compelling? YES Is there a mystery element to the plot that drives the story? YES. Is the heroine strong? YES. I read this in two sittings, following a well paced novel down a rabbit hole that became more unbelievable as I continued. As the mysteries of Amelia's past and Aiden's present are revealed, I kept thinking to myself - what is wrong with these two people? The answer - both of them think that hiding important things is the right decision. While I completely understand that the circumstances surrounding Amelia's arrival in town should be kept in the dark, I don't understand how she could choose to hide the number of times she has been physically assaulted by aggressive teen boys in this novel. She has no problems verbally flaying the Boys, yet the moment the rival gang gets their hands on her it's all - I can take care of myself and no don't tell my friends that I was targeted because it might hurt their feelings. I find the two sides of this heroine problematic - how can she be a strong female lead who also buys into the culture of silence surrounding assault.

Ultimately, She's With Me is a bag of mixed messages. It dragged me through to the end, but I was left wondering why characters made harmful decisions. Hopefully other readers will find a lesson in the importance of communication here. I also hope that if this is the reality for teens today, they will find the courage to reach out.

There are parts of this book that were really interesting and well written, but certain scenes in the book felt like they didn't need to be included in the book. The scenes were more filler parts then it actually pertaining to the story. It also didn't look like it was edited well enough and it might just be because they haven't done the final edits which is fine, but it definitely needs a last edit before it's published. Overall, this book has really good bones and story-line, but it needs a really good editor enable to push it to its best potential.

WHY are people gaga over this? it is awfully written. i am still disgusted at myself for staying up late and actually reading the whole thing and it happened over a week ago. the characters are all terrible. the dialogue is total CRINGE. definitely do not recommend.

thanks to the publisher for an ARC, this is my honest review.

Thank you so much to Netgally and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. Sadly this book wasn't for me. It wasnt bad, but just not something that interested me.


Blurb from the publisher:
Standing out as the new girl is hard enough, but add in Amelia Collins’s dangerous past, and her life depends on sneaking through senior year unnoticed. But when she crashes into the school’s most infamous heartthrob, Aiden Parker, on her first day, she’s suddenly on everyone’s radar, and as Amelia becomes immersed in a new group of friends, keeping a low profile won’t be an option—even if it’s a necessity. She’s With Me has more than 127 million reads and it is one of the most popular Wattpad stories of all time.

Cliffhangers! I hate them. This book was pretty good, held my interest, and wasn’t too over the top. It was angsty, and at least gave a good reasons for these teenagers to be running around unsupervised. Can’t wait for the next one!

Wow! I couldn’t put the book down! It kind of reminded me of pretty reckless just not as steamy or dark! But I loved it! Can’t wait for the sequel!
