Happy To Be Alive, Because by Chelsea Jacobs’ was a great book to read. This actually made me want to start to keep a journal where I say what is making me happy that day or even right at that moment. This book was a super easy read for me but it was also a book that I didn’t want to put down until it was done. I loved this book so much and I can’t even really give you reasons because I really loved everything about this book. If you love young adult fiction than I know you will love this book. I am usually not a fan of YA books but I am glad I received this one to review because I loved everything about this book.
