I still have no internet -- in the process of the move -- and won't have it for another two to three weeks. So, reviews will be few and far between, as I'm either pecking out the words on my pitiful old phone or borrowing internet for a few brief moments from wherever place I can find it (in between packing, of course) 
 But, I decided to read SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS from Galley Grab, despite the fact that I really didn't love the last Barnholdt novel I read. (Two Way Street, I think? If I wasn't on this jerk of a phone I'd google for verification!) 
 Anyways, SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS followed the same basic idea, I think -- the chapters alternated between an incident in the present and one in the past. And, it was the same basic tale of teenage heartache and melodrama -- however, this time it was executed better, in my opinion, and was a lot more enjoyable. 
 This time the story centers around Hannah, her boyfriend Sebastian, her best friend Ava, and Ava's boyfriend Noah. Although Hannah thinks that things are serious with Sebastian, she finds him making out with another girl at a pool party the last day of junior year. Expecting to commiserate all summer with best friend Ava, she instead learns that Ava is unexpectedly leaving town to work as a camp counselor. That leaves Hannah and Noah, who she really barely knows except through Ava... 
 The story alternates between the events of the summer and the first day of senior year -- when Hannah comes face to face again with Ava, Sebastian, and Noah -- after the night she stole her best friend's boyfriend. 
 While there was nothing deep or life changing here, I do think it was a fun, interesting contemporary YA read. The characters were likeable, believeable, and relateable. The pacing was great and the author did a nice job of swapping between past and present without losing the reader's interest. 
 If I had internet, I'd definitely do a more in-depth review on the blog, but given that it's already taken about twenty minutes to type this on the cell, I guess this will do for now.... LOL! Thanks, GalleyGrab for the cute read! :)
