Review: Ugly Duckling - Lani Lynn Vale

Ugly Duckling Ugly Duckling by Lani Lynn Vale
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

Ugly Duckling is book 6 in the Content Advisory series, and it focuses on the characters Sutton and Gunner. Both characters knew each other from high school and whilst both excelled, Sutton was bullied relentlessly and believed that she was always the ugly duckling. Whilst Gunner, becomes a single teen parent and goes through his own trials and tribulations, not only through the loss of his son, but also gaining a new child and building a relationship with her. Sutton and Gunner meet each other again late on in life through their running and there we see their bonds redevelop and become stronger.

What both of these characters have been through it heartbreaking, and it is well written in regard to the loss of a child and also how self esteem can have a disfiguring effect on your mental health for the majority of your life. I loved how strong both Gunner and Sutton were and how this was a slow romance until it wasn’t. Another great addition to the series, with just enough drama, spiciness and great characters to keep you wanting more.

ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊
