The scream that shatters my mouth could shatter the world's happiness into a thousand pieces. But the silence that follows it is enough to dissolve it completely.

3.5 stars. With a review opener like that, you'd think I was about to delve right into talking about how crazy this book was, or how shocking the secret was.

Picture me doing that noise when you've hit a whammy...that wauh, wauh, wauh, noise. This book had a few secrets, but nothing really smacked me in the face.

However, I did enjoy More...

It doesn't take long for Ella to realize once More...

The Secret of Ella and Micha is an unputdownable, beautiful romance I adored reading. It has:

1. one of the most stunning covers I've ever feasted my eyes upon.
2. grogeously flawed characters.
3. an ending that makes me positively yearn for more.

I read this book because I loved "The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden", which was perfect to me. I liked the plot, I loved the heroine & her friend(s), and her love interest quickly became mine, too. Plus, the love scenes were incredibly sexy.
But with this book, I was disappointed. The whole plot seemed ridicuous to me. I was always waiting for Ella to just stop stretching things out unneedlessly. And even though I knew that something terrible had happened to Ella in the past, it didn't mak More...

The Secret of Ella and Micha had me wanting more from the first chapter. I really liked the character of Ella and her complete opposite college roomie, Lil. I wanted to know all about Ella from the moment her POV was written. You could tell how much pain she was in and I wanted to find out why.

Micha is a great character as well. He is really deep with a bad past of his own who held a lot back and making Ella is priority. How he was with her was c More...

Review originally posted on Talk Supe

The Secret of Ella and Micah had been on my "to-read" radar for a while. Since I already have such a gigantic TBR pile I held off on purchasing it. But when I saw it on sale on Amazon for 99 cents I knew I couldn't pass up on the deal. I'm so glad I decided to pick it up because it was such a great surprise. Told through the eyes of Ella and Micah, Jessica Sorenson brings you into Ella and Micah's beautiful story of love, friendship, tragedy, forgiveness and More...

Synposis:

Ella and Micha have been best friends since they were kids. But one tragic night shatters their friendship and their lifes forever.

Ella use to be a rule-breaker with fiery attitude who wore her heart on her sleeves. But she left everything behind when she when to college and transformed into someone that follows the rules, keeps everything together, and hides all her problems. But now its summer break and she has nowhere else to go but home.

Ella fears everything she worked so hard to to More...

I really enjoyed this book. I love the honesty. aside from Ella wanting to recreate herself, it was just simply honest. no games or lies. it was refreshing! I also love the dual POV. this story was raw and gritty. there was great character development... but I thought it ended too fast. but then I saw that there is more coming. yay! I don't like to reiterate plot in my reviews. so I will only say.... a great read. I was pulling for these two! I love the racing, the lake, the tree outside ellas w More...

Lets start with this book is for 17+..I got to read an arc copy of The Secret of Ella and Micha and I'm so glad Jessica chose me to review it.
Bare with me everyone this is the very first review I've done.

I absolutely loved this book!! I fell instantly in love with Ella & Micha, you get to see them go through ups and downs through out the book and they both have things they have to get over before they can move on with their lives.This book pulls you in from page one to the end. Once you star More...

I don't know what is it whit this date 12.10., but in the same day two books that... just.. well...


Cover got me to read it and it's just perfect. Because those two people on the cover are my Ella and Micha.

The tragedy of losing a mother, father who loses any connection to a real life and starts to drown his sorrow in alcohol. Oh, and a brother who blames you for mothers death. That's pretty much life that Ella lives, but still she has a light spot and that's her best friend Micha. Micha who love More...

REACTION AFTER READING THE BOOK:

I had to calm myself down before I was able to make a review for this book.
It got me so hyped, absorbed and addicted.
Micha got me wild and sooo ready toooo… do something dirty DANCE!



RAWWRRRRR!

If you are ready to read about some steamy unbelievably sexy scenes like this

Then I recommend you get your hands on this unbelievably sexually stimulating book!
Okay so let’s get down to the review.

THE GIST:

Ella has always had this wild streak in her. That was one of More...

''Just because it's broken doesn't mean it loses its importance. and i figured i'd give it to you one day when you realized it was okay to make mistakes.”



I'm actually not sure where to start here, I went through so many different emotional phases, it's hard to find the right words.

From the first few pages onwards, I had feeling I'd enjoy the book, Jessica's writing style is so sweet, it's hard not to fall head over heals with her characters! It didn't feel at all like she was trying too hard More...

MY THOUGHTS
ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT

Ella has run off to Las Vegas to attend school and when she can't stay in the dorms over summer break, she is forced to return home. Her roommate, Lila, drives her home and there she realizes that Ella has not been honest with her. The studious and preppy Ella is really addicted to adrenaline and has a wild strike. Lila drags her to a party down the street before she heads home to California and witnesses the immense attraction between Micha and Ella, the boy she le More...

THE SECRET OF ELLA AND MICHA is flawlessly written. Sorensen brings together richly nuanced characters, an emotional plot and a moving romance that makes reading Ella and Micha’s story pure magic.

Read this review in its entirety at Fresh Fiction

The Secret of Ella and Micha was a romance full of SMOKING hot chemistry from years of pent up attraction. The best kind of romance, in my book, is one that starts from years of friendship and grows into so much more. *sigh*

After a night that scared her to the core, Ella Daniels picked up and left her hometown without a word to any of her friends. She doesn’t even tell her best friend, Micha, she just picks up and leaves. Ella has to return home after eight months hiding out at college, because More...

Gah, what have you done to me, Jessica! I loved this book SOOO much! I cried at the end because I could relate so much. No one knows what you've gone through in life but when someone genuinely cares for you, all you can think about is them.
Sheesh, I'm all mushy and want to cuddle with my bf now. Lol

This book was great from beginning to end. I love how bad-ass Micha is and how Ella came out of her soft shell to stick by his side. I can relate really well with the crummy part of town, the parties, More...

There's something about characters with a lot of baggage that seems to pull me into a story. Maybe it's the part of me that likes to fix things. Or maybe it's the journey they take and how they (hopefully) overcome their trials and tribulations that appeals to me. Or maybe it's what they go through at that age that makes my own issues at the time seem like small potatoes. Perhaps it's a sizzling love-story that More...

I've been trying out contemporary/ New Adult romance lately. I really don't read much of it, but the last few that I've read, have encouraged me to read more. But who am I kidding? I would've read this book anyway because Jessica Sorensen wrote it! In addition to that I sorely wanted to know what the secret was.

For me, it wasn't so much a secret that needed to be kept, it was more like a taboo situation. Everyone knew, but it was a topic that they all wanted to forget. And what do some people do More...
