Book Review: The Art of Us by Julie Wright

Book Thoughts by Rachelle

The Art of Love is an incredible story about a homeless teenage girl and how she fights to keep life normal. I love Julie’s writing and this book is another keeper!

Ireland Raine seems like she’s a normal high school teenager, but she doesn’t have a home or a car to sleep in. When she attends high school and befriends the handsome and charismatic Kal Ellis she forgets her problems for a small moment. A boyfriend, an incredible art project, and some free pizza have her on top of the world–until it all comes crashing down.

Someone discovers Ireland’s secret and she’s moved into a foster home with her worst enemy. But as with Ireland, appearances aren’t as they seem. Ireland learns more about her enemy, her boyfriend, and herself.

This novel is engaging, inspiring, and a page-turner. I loved the premise and the unique storyline. Can’t wait for Julie’s next book!

Here’s more about the book:

Falling in love is complicated when you’re both keeping secrets.

On the surface, everything seems perfect for high school senior Ireland Raine. She’s intelligent and artistically talented, and her natural beauty and quiet charm are enviable. However, Ireland harbors a secret she’ll guard at any cost—she’s homeless.

When her crush, Kal Ellis, invites her on a date, she seizes the opportunity. Ireland has never had a boyfriend before, and Kal is not just a guitarist for the local band, he’s also an artist. Their connection is instantaneous, and he suggests they collaborate on the school mural. Working and laughing alongside Kal, Ireland can momentarily forget her problems.

However, when someone exposes her secret, Ireland ends up in a foster home alongside her most despised adversary, Mara Washington. To make matters worse, Ireland discovers it was Kal who revealed her secret.

Furious, Ireland must decide if she has the strength to forgive the boy who stole her heart or if she is better off alone.
