Hello there! Today I'm really happy to be part of the Book Blast for Girl Against The Universe by Paula Stokes. I loved this book and I hope everyone has the chance to read it. Please read below for the chance to win your own copy and more amazing news!

Paula:
Girl Against the Universe will release
on May 16, 2016. I am so excited to share this book with the world,
and particularly with people who are struggling with PTSD, survivor’s
guilt, anxiety, shyness, or people who just feel like the odds are stacked
against them. Maguire’s story is full of struggles and triumphs, new
friends and family bonds. Even if your life is totally peachy at the
moment, there’s a good chance you’ll find Girl Against the Universe funny and inspiring.
I hope you give it a try.
Here’s
what some amazing authors had to say about the book:
“Filled
with equal amounts of empathy, humor, and heart, Girl Against the Universe is an empowering
story about finding the courage to piece your life back together, even
when it feels irreparably broken.”
--Tamara Ireland Stone, NYT bestselling author of Every Last Word
“I
loved this sweet, slow-burn romance. Sports fiction at its best!”
--Miranda Kenneally, bestselling author of Catching Jordan
“Romantic,
honest, and deep, Girl Against the Universe is one of those
books where I couldn’t believe that the characters were only a figment
of the author’s imagination—they simply jumped off the pages with
their beautiful flaws and hard-earned wisdom.”
--Sarvenaz Tash, author of The Geek’s Guide to Unrequited Love
"Absolute
perfection. Completely magical. Girl Against the Universe is a poignant,
beautiful story." --Ann Aguirre, NYT bestselling author of The Queen of Bright and Shiny Things
Here’s
the official flap copy for the book:
Maguire is bad luck.
No matter how many charms she buys off the internet or good luck rituals
she performs each morning, horrible things happen when Maguire is around.
Like that time the rollercoaster jumped off its tracks. Or the time
the house next door caught on fire. Or that time her brother, father,
and uncle were all killed in a car crash—and Maguire walked away with
barely a scratch.
It’s safest for Maguire to hide out in her room, where she can cause
less damage and avoid meeting new people who she could hurt. But then
she meets Jordy, an aspiring tennis star. Jordy is confident, talented,
and lucky, and he’s convinced he can help Maguire break her unlucky
streak. Maguire knows that the best thing she can do for Jordy is to
stay away. But it turns out staying away is harder than she thought.
Just
for fun, here’s my idea of the book in a single word:

Hi! Superstition... Hmm. I don't really believe in superstitions and charm power, but I do like buying charms when they are pretty :P Hope it counts! :) Thank you for the giveaway. It's been a while since I joined one and it's been years! This is the first in what feels like a very long time ago. Thank you!

Honestly, I don't have a good luck charm or have any superstition I believe in.
