The memory of your first love never fades away. At least, that’s what 28-year-old Leila Thomas discovers as she’s sitting in her driveway and hears a familiar song come on the radio, a song that triggers the most detailed memory of her last year of high school, the joy and the pain. The whole story playing like a movie in her mind. First loves. Fractured friendships. The realization that it is okay to remember.
Carried Away is an exceptional book written by A.E. Brouhard that moved and captivated me from the start!

And so that is why I already recommend this book to you lovely readers; however, if you need more convincing, then continue to read to learn more!

The premise of Carried Away is exceptional, original, and beyond captivating! I loved the many themes and elements explored throughout the book, and all themes are explored by Brouhard wonderfully, and she does this by lacing these interesting themes throughout the text flawlessly and weaving them with the story. The result of this makes Carried Away a highly addictive and fascinating read that is never once lackluster or predictable.
A.E. Brouhard is a phenomenal writer who knows how to grasp her reader’s attention from the first page. Brouhard decides to thrust her reader into the heart of the story straight away so that the reader is instantly captivated and immersed. I personally love this approach, what is the point of having a long build-up with little excitement? This is only necessary if the author in question can’t develop the characters in the story quickly, but with Carried Away, the reader will not encounter this issue because Brouhard instantly develops her characters and makes the reader invest in not only them but also their journey!
To conclude my thoughts on the wonderful book Carried Away, I would say Carried Away is a wonderful, compelling, and thought-provoking novel that will easily entertain readers for many days and nights and so I, of course, have to award this stellar gem of a book five stars!
