Review Tour: The Girl I Was Before by Ginger Scott


THE GIRL I WAS BEFORE by Ginger Scott is finally here! Check out the review and giveaway below!


THE GIRL I WAS BEFORE (Falling #3)
 NA Contemporary Romance
Scheduled to release: June 23, 2015

BLURB:
I’m the selfish one. I suppose that’s the nicest thing people say about me. I’ve heard the other things, too. “Paige Owens is a pretty girl with nothing else to offer. She’s just a good time at a party. She’s stupid, heartless, cold and useless. All she cares about is getting a guy to look at her. Why would anyone want to be her friend?”

Some of those things are true. Others were true. They’re all hurtful.

None of it matters.

I’m ready to make the hard choices. I’m ready to face the consequences. I’m ready to be the girl I was before, and I’m done being the one who lost her way.

I’m ready to become the girl Houston Orr sees when he looks at me.

Houston isn’t a star athlete. He doesn’t play in a band. He’s never going to be president, and his life is so far away from simple and easy it isn’t even funny. He wasn’t part of my plan. But I’m starting to think plans are overrated, and maybe our stories are what we make them. And mine depends entirely on me, and the choices I make…starting now.

Houston is my fairytale. He’s perfectly imperfect. He’s poetry and life. He’s truth and heartbreak, all rolled up in a tall body with dark hair, broad shoulders and green eyes that lull me into submission. He’s nothing I ever thought I wanted, but the very thing I need. He’s the only guy I’ve ever really loved, and he thinks I’m a princess. I fell into him, and now I’m holding on.

But sometimes life takes away our ability to choose. Sometimes…things aren’t in your control. Sometimes, it hurts to be selfless. My only hope is that when it comes time to choose, I get it right.

Welcome to my once upon a time and wish for happily ever after.

4 Star Review by Natasha Gentile

So this is the third and final in the series.  I didn’t read the first two but I got the gist of it with this book

I’m the selfish one. I suppose that’s the nicest thing people say about me. I’ve heard the other things, too. “Paige Owens is a pretty girl with nothing else to offer. She’s just a good time at a party. She’s stupid, heartless, cold and useless. All she cares about is getting a guy to look at her. Why would anyone want to be her friend?”

Paige Owens is or was a mean girl.  From the stories of the past she was the biggest mean girl there was, well after her best friend that is.

With one click of her finger, she outs the biggest mean girl there is.  Putting herself in harms way.  She wants to be that girl she was before, she wants to be that girl people will be proud of.
Enter Houston Orr

Houston isn’t a star athlete. He doesn’t play in a band. He’s never going to be president, and his life is so far away from simple and easy it isn’t even funny.

I have to say that I was drawn more to Houston than I was to Paige.
Houston has to fight for everything he has, never stopping or taking no for an answer. Including Paige.
When a chance encounter put them together at the library, sparks fly.  Paige feels things that she doesn’t want to. 
He is everything that she doesn’t want.  He is perfectly imperfect.  He treats her like a princess, like he should. 

What happens when you finally see your forever, but it’s nothing like you thought it would be.  What happens when things aren’t in your control and you have to choose?  Being selfless is all she has been lately she just hope that now it won’t hurt her.

She has fallen in love with him at the worse time possible, but is there really a right time to become that girl you once were showing him you really are the princess he says you are!

    1. I've been using the provided tweet everyday, but it isn't really about the newest book, rather Wild Reckless, her previous release. Hope that's okay. Thanks!
