This Night is Ours encapsulates a really special part of growing up: those random nights, the ones when inexplicable things happen, when you hang out with people you ordinarily don’t (and most likely won’t ever again,) and make memories that live with you forever. The lightning in a bottle nights that you’ll never replicate, but you’ll chase their feeling for years to come.

I’ve only read a handful of stories that give off those John-Hughes-movie vibes, and this one immediately goes to the top of that list.

Brandy experiences a coming of age in one night. Can she be an artist, or does she have no choice but to go to nursing school? Is she actually kind-of friends with her longtime frenemy, Ben, or is she actually in love with him? More than that… is he in love with her? How does life change when you say words to your parent that you can’t take back, despite how much your catharsis hurts them? In just a few hours, Brandy will answer all of those questions, and it will tug at every string in your heart because you can relate.

One aspect that I really loved was the dialogue between Ben and Brandy. The heart of the story really lives in their words to each other, words that are more honest and revealing than they are with anyone else.

Also, while she’s not the focus of the story, I’d love a spinoff story for Shai. She’s the bestie we all wish we’d had, and she deserves her own moment to shine!

This is a fast read that will leave you feeling exhilarated in a way you haven’t felt since you were 18, living nights just like this one. It’s definitely worth your time! Add it to your TBR.

Thanks to NetGalley and Little Brown Books for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!

The third book by Ronni Davis is absolutely wonderful. Davis is able to bring out the anxieties that many feel about their future. The writing is well done and makes you feel like you are right there with the characters.

Thank you for the ARC.

This was just a meh book for me. I knew going into it, that this was a Young Adult book, but the writing style was a bit too cringey at times. I didn't enjoy the characters, mostly because I couldn't create a real connection with them. The MMC was sweet, but the FMC just left me with mixed messages. The book, set over one night, is fast paced which makes it easy to get through. This book might be more appealing to younger readers. I might have just been too old to enjoy it for what it is.

So much emotion in this book! I absolutely loved it! It covered so many real topics that young adults struggle with and really gave you insight into the characters experiences. I think many you people can relate to the struggle between their own wishes and their parents’ wishes. Great book! I can’t wait to add it to my classroom library!

Thank you so much Ronni Davis and Little, Brown Books for Young Readers for the eARC to review. The book was okay. I was expecting a bit more. It's a great book for young adults. Just wasn't what I expected.

I'm not really sure how I feel about this book entirely, I think I'm mostly just disappointed. I had high hopes for this because of the cute cover and description, but in the end, it just fell flat for me. I couldn't really connect with the characters and I was bored in the second half. The writing was cringey and a little painful to get through. It just made the characters seem a lot younger than they were supposed to be, but I wouldn't necessarily call this a bad thing because this is a young adult novel and would be perfect for a younger audience. It just wasn't for me. The romance also felt a little too insta-lovey, even for a 24-hour romance. The FMC kept saying she hated the MMC, but they were already good friends and she was attracted to him the whole time, so the romance didn't have as much development as I would have liked. I think a couple more pages would've fixed this and fleshed the characters out a little more. I will say this book did have a lot of sweet moments, a cute MMC, and was very fast paced. If you want a quick, lighthearted YA summer romance, you'll probably enjoy this! I'm just not sure I would go out of my way to recommend this otherwise.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review!

This Night is Ours is a quick and fun story about a high school senior struggling with her post-grad plans and the boy she brings along for the ride. It felt like this would be perfect to be adapted into a Netflix high school film.

This is really, really cute. I am such a sucker for YA romance. And this one had me giggling and kicking my feet. I loved the characters, I loved the setting, I loved all of it. I also really loved that the whole book takes place during one day. I really love how the romance develops. This is such a fun, lighthearted romance and I loved it!

(Also there were a few typos in this one, which I'm sure will be fixed before it gets published. That was one of the only things that bugged me. Other than that, it was good.)

I read this in one sitting and I was impressed that I finished it with hardly any breaks in between. Lately I’ve been in a reading slump and it has been hard sticking to one book and not wanting to find something better if i dont enjoy it, but that was not the case here and I ended up loving it so much more than I thought. Definitely one of those books that kind of puts motherhood into perspective and lets me see ahead of time what to do and not to do as a mom/parent. I felt like I was that age again also, dreaming of the possibilities for when I’d grow up. But i also had a stubborn mom, who wouldn’t approve any of this it’s so hard to make everyone else proud while youre unhappy because they want you to live life their way.. I recommend

I loved this book. It is the perfect novel to shoe young minds to follow their dreams and follow what their heart truly desires. The cover is gorgeous as well!

This was a really cute book. It is a great book for summer time. The romance was so cute and the banter was perfect. I would highly recommend this book.

Oh my heart. What a beautiful book. It was like "Before Sunrise" for Gen Z.

Brandy and Ben are post-high school graduation and pondering the next steps of their lives. The book is centered around one night while they talk and talk about their dreams, anxieties, and futures.

I think this is the perfect read for anyone going through a transition in their lives. The book focuses on very real anxieties, from pleasing your parents to picking the right careers. Even though it has been established that the characters have known each other for a little while, it felt like a perfect combination of an instant connection of best friends and a brewing romance. A lot of lovely side characters that felt very fleshed out in the brief appearances that they make. The reason I compare it to "Before Sunrise" is because the real heart of the story is between the chemistry of the two main characters. Most of the book is their dialogue. It is honest and witty with an undertone of romantic tension. Highly recommend for a very sweet YA romance.

LOVE. It felt kind of insta-lovey but that was kind of the whole point so it was fine. I feel like the crafters could have been a little more fleshed out, but I was still able to form a sort of connection to them. I wish we were shown more about Ben and Audrey’s part. I think they book could use an additional 50 pages so there could be more description, but this was still a really good book!
