Between 3−4 stars rating, 03 August 2018 A Very Cute Read!
By: Tiffany Alexandra
By Your Side is basically about Autumn Miller, who finds herself stuck in a library, and soon realize she’s not alone. Because Dax Miller, a friend (or acquaintance?) from her high school is also there because of something. I personally love Autumn, because honestly she reminds me of myself. Autumn suffers from anxiety (which I also have), and because of that she always try to please people eventhough it’s not something she wants to do (which I often do too). I think Kasie West portrays anxiety well in this book. Dax, on the other hand, was different than the usual Kasie West’s love interest. He’s a bit of loner and more like someone peoples usually avoid at... See More
school, rather than being the “center of the attention”. But don’t worry, that doesn’t make him less swoony! He was charming in the quiet, mysterious-kind-of-way, so definitely still in the book-boyfriend material. The romance in this book, as expected, is so cute and adorable that I couldn’t hold back a squeal. I love how Autumn can be more relaxed when she’s with Dax, and how Dax can let his guard down and be more open when he’s with Autumn. They definitely have chemistry since the first time they met at the library. The only relationship that I’m disappointed with is the friendship, since I don’t think it was explored enough in this book. But I still love the (brief) friendship-moment we got, especially between Autumn and Lisa. In conclusion, eventhough this is not my favorite Kasie West’s books ever, I still recommend this book to everyone, whether you have read Kasie West’s other books or not. It’s worth the read!
