Advance Praise

"Absolutely incredible read and loved every aspect of it - relatable characters and thoroughly enjoyable book. I was FULLY engaged the whole time!" - Alex Hastings


"I thought the representation of mental health was well-stated and written. Gabrielle even includes a page at the end of the Not Always Blu Skyes for those who need help or those seeking help for someone who struggles with mental health. Those organizations are ones you can find in the United States, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.


YA contemporary is not a genre I usually dive into, but I will honestly say that I enjoyed reading this story. The characters are well-rounded, three-dimensional, and relatable. Olivia is a compelling character that I sympathized with and rooted for throughout the whole novel. I think the voice of Not Always Blu Skyes is unique, fresh, and keeps the interest of the reader, making them want to find out what will happen next in each chapter. The book definitely delivers on the promise of its summary and it didn’t leave me disappointed in the least bit." - Amazon Reviewer
