Book Review: Give Nothing Back by Heather Garvin

Disclaimer: I received a free ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.


Synopsis: High school and dating are hard, but even more so when your boyfriend is a modern-day pirate.


Paige Lawson has just survived her most terrifying and exciting summer, and senior year is about to begin. Getting back to her normal life is one thing, but figuring out where the pirates fit in is another challenge entirely.


And sensing Fredrick has more secrets to hide, she’s compelled to find answers—answers she’ll get with the unexpected arrival of Fredrick’s father.


His presence brings new dangers, not only for Fredrick and the gang but Paige, too. Faced with new challenges, she’ll have to decide how far she’s willing to go before she loses herself in Fredrick’s world completely.


Rating: 4/5 stars


Shannon's review: So despite anticipating this book for a while now, it was a slow start for me to really get wrapped into the story. However, once I finally got re-hooked, I was fully invested in reading to the end.


Character wise, Garvin continued to build upon the characters and relationships from the first book. Josh, who I really enjoyed in the first book, annoyed me more in this story. This however is due to his feelings toward Fredrick and how he let it affect his relationship with Paige. They had their ups and downs in this book for sure. My love for Leah grew in this book, she is just such a happy, bubbly person and is a great friend to Paige. Fredrick is still your bad boy, but I did really enjoy getting to see more of his sensitive side when it came to Paige. He is also fiercely protective.


With out giving too much away, this book had lots of ups and downs. As a reader, I would start to feel as though life was going smoothly for Paige and Fredrick and then Garvin would throw a twist at you. These ups and downs kept me reading and wanting more, because I'm a sucker for a happy ending and I did not want the story to end otherwise. I loved watching Paige and Fredrick grow and support each other through all the twists. Overall, I loved this story and would recommend it to those who enjoy YA's with some suspense and romance.
