Check Me Out is the newest addition to Shadow Mountain’s Proper Romance series. Written by Becca Wilhite, the narrative is a sweet story with themes of self-discovery, inner beauty, and old versus new. At the beginning of the book main character Greta is shallow, clueless, and downright unlikeable. Wilhite’s strong writing and careful character development transform Greta into a mature and interesting protagonist. Check Me Out will take readers through a bevy of emotions with its plot turns, all while appealing to younger generations with tweets and texts on nearly every page. Wilhite manages to make Greta’s romance incredibly realistic — clever and witty, yet also poignant and heartbreaking. With its entertaining story, appealing cover art and clever title, bibliophiles and romantics alike will adore this book!
