CASCADING PETALS BY JANE C. BRADY | REVIEW



Cascading Petals 

Jane C. Brady 

Publication date: December 5th 2017

Genres: Contemporary, Romance, Young Adult
Despite the years of bullying in school, Jewel Hart has remained sweet and kind. She has it all—a great life, a great family, and beauty—but she has never been able to obtain the one thing she wants—to belong.
When Jewel meets Kaiden Carter, a good-looking, charming new student at York Mills High, things start to look up. On the surface, he is perfect, but Jewel can’t shake the feeling that everything is not as it seems.
When the devastation of the rising suicides in her school hits too close to home and drives Jewel into a deep despair, she clings to Kaiden’s strength to find her way back. Through the pain and fear surrounding her, she finds hope and the will to go on. But just as she picks herself up, tragedy strikes again, threatening to steal her last glimmer of hope. How will she go on? Can she ever find her place in the world?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

DISCLAIMER: I RECEIVED AN ADVANCE READER'S VERSION OF THIS BOOK IN PARTICIPATION OF A BLOG TOUR. THIS IS MY HONEST, VOLUNTARY REVIEW.

Cascading Petals has left quite an impact on me. I know one should never judge a book by its cover, but I truly did not think it would take such a turn for me. This book follows Jewel Hart, and she is a victim of bullying. It was very hard to read and not get emotional. Because just when it appears things are getting better, they take a turn for close to the worst. I would definitely suggest this book not be read by anyone who might have triggers to thoughts of suicide. But it was a really good book.
Jane C. Brady is a new author to me. Her take on bullying is amazing. The entire story was moving and brilliantly done.

She’s an avid traveler who also loves throwing elaborate dinner parties where she wows her guests with gourmet meals. Jane has a passion for writing, interior design, history, movies, board games, and fitness. In her quest for an exciting life, however, she now draws the line at zip-lining, which she experienced in Costa Rica. Never again!

She now lives in Western Canada but dreams of owning a vacation home in South Carolina. She lives with her husband (her high school sweetheart), two teenagers, and two dogs. When she grows up, she’d like to be her brilliant sixteen-year-old daughter (minus the mood swings).
