So Over It

The Concluding Book in The Reinvention of Skylar Hoyt Series
Senior year is over, and Skylar is ready for a break.
But will she really be able to leave her old life behind?
Teen readers have loved the debut series from author Stephanie Morrill, identifying deeply with high school student Skylar Hoyt and her struggle to discover who she really is. RT Book Reviews called this “a promising new series. Morrill introduces a strong, relatable character to root for.”
In So Over It, the final book of The Reinvention of Skylar Hoyt series, Skylar has just finished up her senior year. She’s ready to forgive and forget. Or at least forget. She wants a fresh start where people don’t know about her past or her dysfunctional family. A place where she won’t run into her ex-boyfriend every time she leaves the house. When she gets the opportunity to spend the summer in Hawaii with her grandparents, Skylar jumps at the chance to get out of town. But will she truly be able to leave her old life behind? And will she be strong enough to rise above the gossip and live the life God wants?
ISLAND BREEZES
Skylar Hoyt has problems, but she knows how to fix them. She’ll just run off to Hawaii and reinvent herself.
Well, that lasted for less than two weeks before she realized that as dysfunctional as her family might be, she was going to miss them and her friends.
Only when she finally faces her past can she really reinvent herself.
Although this is the third book of the series, it is a good stand alone read. But I still wish I had read the first two. I’m going to miss Skylar.
