Cover Reveal + Review: Something About Love by Elana Johnson
.jpg)
About SOMETHING ABOUT LOVE: High school senior Olivia Winging gave up her love of photography when
she gave up her boyfriend, Trevor Youngblood, a year and a half ago. She broke
things off with Trevor because her mom married his dad, and dating your step-brother?
Creepy.
Livvy hasn’t been on good terms with her mother since, and one of her stipulations for staying at the Youngblood’s every other weekend is that Trevor can’t be there. When she gets nominated for the Junior Photography in Excellence award, Trevor insists she enter. She agrees—only if every photo in the portfolio can be of him. Knowing that Livvy can capture a person’s deepest secrets through her lens, Trevor hesitates before accepting the deal.
As Livvy gets behind the lens of her camera again, her love of photography is rekindled. Unfortunately, the time she spends with Trevor also re-ignites the old flame for him she’s kept smothered for so long.
In order for Livvy to finish her portfolio, she’ll have to face her feelings for Trevor as well as deal with the animosity between her and her mother. Livvy’s always been able to capture a person’s soul from behind the camera—but she’s not sure she likes it when the lens is suddenly focused on her. If she can’t find a way to forgive her mother and admit how she feels about Trevor, Livvy may end up losing more than just the photography contest. She could lose her heart.

Praise for Elana’s first verse novel, Elevated:
“The taut poetry keeps tension high. The plot is deftly
paced, as past intrudes on present, like a photograph emerging in developing
fluid.” ~San Francisco Book Review
“Every word Johnson writes carries an emotional heft that lifts readers up to the highest happiness and then sends them crashing down to the depths of despair. It is easy to flow from the first word to the last without ever putting down the book. Johnson shows outstanding talent in this form, and her words are beautiful, important and deeply felt.” ~The Deseret News
Review: I absolutely loved this book. Something About Love is an exceptional read. It made me cry a little too. I captured feelings and dynamics of a teenage life so beautifully. I loved the plot, characters and the way it is written. Livvy is miserable after her mother left them and consequently she left her boyfriend. She thinks she did the right thing but did she really? Then things get even worse when she broke up with her current boyfriend who did not take things well. She had to be home schooled from then on. Nothing was right in her life but she had to confront her feelings head on in order to get over her past.
It was a very touching story. I have to say it's been a while since I read something this heartfelt. I recommend it to everyone and hope that you enjoy it just as much as I did.
