#BookReview: Little & Lion by Brandy Colbert

  When Suzette comes home to Los Angeles from her boarding school in New England, she isn't sure if she'll ever want to go back. L.A. is where her friends and family are (along with her crush, Emil). And her stepbrother, Lionel, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, needs her emotional support.

But as she settles into her old life, Suzette finds herself falling for someone new...the same girl her brother is in love with. When Lionel's disorder spirals out of control, Suzette is forced to confront her past mistakes and find a way to help her brother before he hurts himself--or worse. 

Brandy Colbert was born and raised in Springfield, Missouri. Her debut novel, Pointe, won the 2014 Cyblis Award for young adult fiction and was named a best book of 2014 by Publishers Weekly, BuzzFeed, Book Riot, and more. She was chosen as a Publishers Weekly Flying Start for spring 2014. Brandy works as a copyeditor and lives in Los Angeles, California.

This one was very disappointed 

I'm really disappointed. Brandy Colbert is a really talented author and a fabulous person who I have the utmost respect for, especially after her debut. But this was just not a fun reading experience for me. 

The complex characters in this book were great as well the diversity but the love triangle didn't work for me and it didn't have a lot of emotion at least from me.  This one fell short of the story I was hoping I was going to get.
