High School Epic
High school epic
After her father vanishes, Dani Fetter begins high school already carrying the weight of abandonment. She expects her best friends to support her, but they prioritize parties, hookups, and popularity instead.
Left behind, Dani meets Kevin Martin, an outsider who seems to give her everything her world is missing. Until betrayal cuts deep, leaving her reeling once more. Dani's circle keeps reshaping again and again: new friends like Ryan O’Leary offer comfort, while old wounds resurface.
Through each season of high school, Dani is tested through heartbreak, mistakes, and hilarious missteps, as she wrestles with who she is and who she wants to be.
Told in a unique blend of letters and chapters, Hannah R. Goodman's HIGH SCHOOL EPIC captures the chaos of teenage life in the early 1990s with raw honesty, humor, and heart.

Read this 5 Star Review of I Love That Girl
"What a fun read! The structure of the book lets us get inside the head of each of the four characters, which is a hard thing to do, especially when the characters are all so different. The author pulls it off very well, making it very clear how each character thinks and acts. I could picture them in my head easily.
I also really enjoyed reading about characters at the end-of-college stage of life, as that was a time of life that was great in my own life. It feels familiar and nostalgic in all the best ways. The racy/sexy scenes are written in a way that's enjoyably fun and relatable but not too gratuitously graphic.
Overall I definitely recommend this book for anyone looking for a book that has a little bit of everything - happy moments, sad moments, sexy moments, and make-you-think moments." -Lauren, Goodreads reviewer

The Maddie Chronicles ebook boxed set
The maddie chronicles
5 Star Review
Reviewed By K.C. Finn for Readers’ Favorite
The Maddie Chronicles is a boxed set of young adult modern adventures penned by author Hannah R. Goodman, and contains the stories: My Sister’s Wedding, My Summer Vacation, and Fear of Falling. In preparation for the fourth book in the series, readers can engage in the initially not-so-exciting life of self-help addict Maddie Hickman. Maddie is an insecure girl, typically struggling her way through high school and trying to use other people’s guidance to get through it and reach adulthood somewhat sane. The other people in her life, however, and the misguided decisions she makes will teach her many lessons about herself, and what it really means to be an adult, along the way.
Maddie Hickman is very much the Bridget Jones of her generation, and I enjoyed this charming collection of realistic, yet teen-exaggerated dramas. The individual volumes are quite short, digestible stories suitable for young YA readers and beyond, and the experience of the three-book set makes for a strong emotional rollercoaster with Maddie, allowing us to really get to know her, her family and her school friends. The dialogue is clear but fresh, free of clichés and tropes, and the plot has some satisfying turns and some really unpredictable ones which cause sudden drama that’s very entertaining. Overall, I’d say The Maddie Chronicles is an excellent collection to dive into for a hefty dose of coming of age drama, and I’d be really excited to see what author Hannah R. Goodman brings to the future of the series.
