The Survival Kit, by Donna Freitas

The Survival Kit is about Rose, a teenage girl whose mom recently passed away. Rose is stuck in her depression until she finds a survival kit her mom made for her before she died. Her mom was famous for her survival kits for every occasion. Slowly Rose gathers the strength to open the survival kit. Rose also meets Will Doniger, a senior at her school whose father passed away two years back. Soon Will and Rose find love and comfort in each other.

The Survival Kit, by Donna Freitas, was a really cute read! The writing was emotional and the characters were lovable and believable. There were many cute moments between Will and Rose, and Rose's strength was inspiring. I would recommend this book to teens who enjoy romance and inspiring stories and would give it an 8 out of 10.
