Harley in the Sky

3 stars!

This is the first Bowman book I've read, and I can say I'm very interested in reading more. (Do you have any you'd recommend?)

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, all thoughts and opinions are my own!


One of the things that really made me love this book was the plot mixed with the setting and atmosphere- it was gorgeous! If you were a fan of The Greatest Showman or like to read books with the circus kind of setting then here you go- perfection!

Plot-wise, I really liked the idea at the beginning. Then I loved the idea, but the main character handled things rather pettily at spots which is where the side characters came in and kept me in love.

Harley running off to join the circus that her parents hate was a plot idea that definitely gave us some extra drama in the story and character relationships.
And then later with Harley making, again, some less-than-good decisions for petty reasons didn't help with my opinion of her though it definitely got the story heading in an interesting direction. It helped to get resolve and the development needed though.


The ending was a combination of Harley dealing with different relationships- some made me squeal happily, and some were touching and heart-warming. Again, perfection!


The only downside was Harley herself, I HATED Harley and she almost ruined the book for me.
