I love this story, well written, adorable YA romance, and a wonderful coming of age story for both of the main characters. A wonderful reminder for anyone of any age to love and live your life!

This is a book I've seen a few times, but never got around to reading. I'm really happy that I finally did! This is the third book by Joanne McGregor that I've read and none have disappointed so far. I loved this in the first place, because it didn't take place in the States, but in South Africa. Like every teenage girl, Romy has a crush on Logan, a popular actor at the moment. This was so relatable back to when I was that age. I felt bad for her as well, it's hard to figure out what you want to do with your life. I love that this author has main characters who don't only have the problem of what to wear the next day, but all have to discover something about themselves. This one was a little lighter than the two I have read. I loved all of the characters, except the director and Brittany, haha. This book proves that being in the right place at the right time can change your life in so many ways!

Hushed is a modern day Little Mermaid retelling, and believe me, Joanne had me hook, line and sinker from the beginning. She pulls you in from the first words, the characters are loveable with a couple who stand out, the eccentric grandmother was probably one of my favourites

Throughout the book, you not only learn more about the characters but also about some serious environmental issues. I especially enjoyed all the referrals to local spots in and around Cape Town, it took me back to my last holiday there. There was also a line about a lion in Africa that made me think back to all my American penpals, who always thought we had pet lions. 

There were elements that reminded me of the Disney version of Little Mermaid and this has now given me a craving to watch it as soon as possible. 

Joanne MacGregor’s writing is wonderful and she is definitely one of my “Will buy no matter what” writers.
