In the past
couple of months, I became friends with a lovely young lady called Sierra
Abrams who has certainly become one of my best friends. As it turns out, I
became friends with her at the right time because she was working on her
soon-to-be-released debut novel, THE COLOR PROJECT. Sierra was generous enough
to send me an ebook ARC of her beautiful masterpiece! I am truly honoured to be
on this journey with her and to join her today in celebrating the revealing of
the cover for THE COLOR PROJECT!
Thank you to
Sierra for having me on this incredible journey with her! I’m so excited for
the release of her fabulous book that I know you will all love just as much as
I do!

Goodreads Book Description:
Bernice Aurora
Wescott has one thing she doesn't want anyone to know: her name. That is, until
Bee meets Levi, the local golden boy who runs a charity organization called The
Color Project.
Levi is not at
all shy about attempting to guess Bee’s real name; his persistence is one of
the many reasons why Bee falls for him. But while Levi is everything she never
knew she needed, giving up her name would feel like a stamp on forever. And
that terrifies her.
When unexpected
news of an illness in the family drains Bee's summer of everything bright, she
is pushed to the breaking point. Losing herself in The Color Project—a world of
weddings, funerals, cancer patients, and hopeful families that the charity
funds—is no longer enough. Bee must hold up the weight of her family, but to do
that, she needs Levi. She’ll have to give up her name and let him in completely
or lose the best thing that’s ever happened to her.
For fans of
Stephanie Perkins and Morgan Matson, THE COLOR PROJECT is a story about the
three great loves of life—family, friendship, and romance—and the bonds that
withstand tragedy.
Excerpt:
The open moon
roof displays a wide variety of starts. Out here on the highway, there are no
streetlights or neighborhoods – it’s just a straight shot around the mountain,
on the side of the cliff over the reservoir, and then through the hills – so
it’s very dark and quiet. I look up with Levi, our heads semi-close, and smile.
He asks, “Do you
know the stars?”
“Not
really.”
“Me,
neither.”
“It’s
a shame,” I sigh
“I
can be rather stupid.”
Embarrassed,
I hurry to say, “That’s not what I meant.”
He
laughs, and I laugh, and find that it is incredibly difficult to keep my eyes
on the stars when Levi’s sitting next to me.
“I
meant,” I add, “that I wish one of us did.”
“Yeah.”
I
adjust in my seat, to make the conversation easier.
“Stars are
almost…like…moments. To me.” As soon as these words come out of my mouth, I
start to feel stupid. Do I sound
stupid? I don’t know where this is coming from; I’ve never consciously thought
about it before. It’s always been a thought in the back of my mind, like I like chocolate ice cream, and I would marry Matt Smith if he asked me,
and My mother wants me to go to college.
Somehow,
The stars are like moments to me fits
on this list. “It’s like…they’re twinkling and staring us right in the face,
but we have to brave enough to grab hold of them. You know?”
Levi
looks at me, then sits back in his seat, still looking, still studying. Like
he’s pondering. Somehow, this puts my nerves to rest.
“You’re
right,” he says, finally. “You’re absolutely right.”
