The interesting and thoughtful main character, Willa, really brings the book to life with all of her detailed thoughts that are spread throughout the whole entire book. The other characters play an important role in Willa’s life. They really make the book more lively.

You can really relate to the main character and all of the obstacles that she has to deal with. In conclusion, __From Willa, With Love__  is a relatable and age twelve and up appropriate book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. **


 * The main character’s name is Willa Havisham. Willa is an indecisive teenage girl. She is indecisive because she has a real tough time choosing a side in any situation; especially difficult situations. She is also a Worrier. Willa says in the book that she wants to be a warrior and she tries not to worry about everything but she always thinks about the cons rather than the pros in the world. Willa’s different personalities is what really makes this book fun to read. Willa’s actions are very kind hearted and she never takes her anger out on someone else. When she gets angry she doesn’t lash out and she’s not a cranky, rude person. Willa is very respectful. It was easy to connect with Willa because I can relate to her personality trait of being a worrier. Occasionally I will worry a lot about topic and keep asking the same question until I feel like everything is alright. Willa is relatable for all teen girls. The way her personality is, is that she can be one way one time, and a different way another time. So any personality could relate to her. Willa is a very likeable person in this book because she shares a lot of her thoughts with you in the book and she is very open about all of the obstacles she is going through. It’s nice to see all her moods and thoughts about what is going on in her life at a certain moment. Overall, Willa is a fantastic girl that could be a great friend towards any teenage girl. **


 * The plot in __From Willa, With Love__ , is a connectable plot for ages 12 and up. Willa is going through some boy drama and is trying to find something to make her summer more active and exciting. One of her good friends that worked at the Inn (where Willa and her family live and own), got a new job and is no longer working there. So, Willa has another person gone to make her summer even more boring. This book was an enjoyable read for me because I read the first four books in the series and then I found this book (the 6th book) and accidentally skipped over the fifth one. Anyways, I already had some background information about the book so it was an easy read. Just by knowing the characters and what the setting is like really can change how the book is viewed. I was extremely shocked when Willa began to get drawn away from JFK and get drawn towards another guy, Jess. She and JFK (Joseph Francis Kennelly) have been dating for a few years but she is starting to have a new interest in Jess. The conflict was definitely a memorable one because Willa was torn between two guys and still doesn’t know who to choose. She went through many twists and turns that really surprised me. **


 * Although I couldn’t find any awards that the book has won, it’s still a book that I would recommend to someone. __From Willa, With Love__ , has a great plot/storyline, which makes is a recommend worthy book. “I love Willa’s character,” “She’s a sweet girl with a passion for planning weddings and serving her community,” says a book reviewer on “imaginaryreads.blogspot.com”. “From Willa, With Love is the perfect summer beach read for the middle-grade set,” says another reviewer from galleysmith.com. Coleen Murtagh Paratore said herself, “It is a fun, feel-good read,’ its always a good book when even the author likes to read it. Some other books by this author include the “Wedding Planner’s Daughter” series; “The Wedding Planner’s Daughter”, “The Cupid Chronicles”, “Willa by Heart”, “Forget me not”, “Wish I Might”, and <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">__From Willa, With Love__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, which is the last book in the series.

No wonder the book was great, the author is an organized shipshape person. **
