The Secret of Ella and Micha

The Secret of Ella & Micha By Jessica Sorensen

Rating: 5/5

Book Description
Ella and Micha have been best friends since they were kids. But one tragic night shatters their friendship and their lives forever.

Ella used to be a rule-breaker with fiery attitude who wore her heart on her sleeve. But she left everything behind when she went to college and transformed into someone that follows the rules, keeps everything together, and hides all her problems. But now it's summer break and she has nowhere else to go but home. 

Ella fears everything she worked so hard to bury might resurface, especially with Micha living right next door. If Micha tries to tempt the old her back, she knows that it will be hard to resist.

Micha is sexy, smart, confident, and can get under Ella’s skin like no one else can. He knows everything about her, including her darkest secrets. And he’s determined to bring his best friend, and the girl he loves back, no matter what it takes. 

Review


This author is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors, every time I read one of her books I become so engrossed in it I can't put it down. This book did not let me down, Ella and Micha completely drew me in. 

Ella runs off to college, away from Micha (her best friend), away from her father and brother and most importantly away from the pain and guilt in an attempt to become a new person.  She hides pretty much everything about herself in order to portray someone who is well put together, organized, good and overall a kind of person that wouldn't have a dark past. 

When forced to visit home with a friend in tow, she is abruptly brought back into the world she so desperately left behind. Ella fights going back to her old ways but finds it hard when Micha seems to be around every corner reminding her of who she really is and bringing out the real her with every encounter. 

Throughout the book we learn more and more about Ella and Micha's past and what led up to the day she left. From the start though it is clear that Micha is completely in love with Ella and even after she left him his feelings never changed for her. While Ella purposely changes who she is, Micha is forced into making some changes as he is unable to go on with life as it was when Ella was still home. 

Throughout summer break we see how Ella and Micha learn to cope with their past. We see how a single event in time can change someones perspective of everything she knew. While once confident (in both herself and her relationship with Micha), after the incident she becomes someone who I think doesn't believe she deserves love. 

Overall I would without a doubt recommend this book! I can't wait for the next book in this series. As per the end of the first book the second book will be called; The Forever of Ella and Micha. No official release date has been set.
