Books Like The Grace Year Novels & Stories

Grace laid back and looked up, she closed her eyes and recalled where it all had started. *Past, 6 years ago* Grace was in high school and had only a few friends, she didn't like to talk to boys and most girls just stayed away from her for her grades were poor and she wore old clothes. This affected her a little for she wanted to be like everyone else but deep down she knew that she wasn't for she always knew that she liked girls, but kept on denying it for her father wouldn't accept her.

I was tempted to ask if her book was titled The Chronicles of My Secret Crush on Dax Donomie. We wrapped up the writing tips, but Grace wasn’t done talking. No, she seamlessly transitioned into telling me about her life or, more accurately, her life with Dax. “Dax is grouchy but such a gentleman,” she gushed, clasping her hands like she was narrating a fairy tale. Grouchy, gentleman? What the heck was that? “Even when he looks like he could kill anyone who dares to annoy him, deep down, he’s so kind.”

Instead of helping me, she abandoned me to care for Lester. And on our anniversary, she bought all the fireworks in the city just to fulfill Lester's request to see them. Meanwhile, I sat alone at home, staring at cold plates of food until morning came.

she points to the book, and I look at her in disbelief. “Your granddaughter is missing, and you want me to read,” my frustration is growing. “You will not understand if you do not read. If you do not understand a victory cannot be held,” her blue eyes do not waiver from my own as I glare at her. Grace might be the only person that I have ever met that doesn’t cower under my gaze. “Fine,” I say grabbing the book from her and reading the passage that she pointed to.

she said. That evening on the coast, Grace inside doing something, Nathaniel and I outside. The ocean at night. The particular darkness of it. "She's going to work there," he said. "Eventually." "She's already working there." He paused. "In her head she's already doing it." "She has three years before university." "She'll spend them preparing." He looked at the water. "Same as the middle school list. Same approach." I thought about Grace at eleven with her notebook. Grace at thirteen eating cake and telling my father what she knew about herself. The same person, more of herself each year.

"I just need you to listen." She looked at Noah and Aria, who were sitting together on the loveseat, wrapped in the same blanket. "I grew up hearing stories," Grace said. "About the masquerade. About the lawsuits. About Grandma Vivian and the Stones. It all sounded like... like mythology. Like 'The Odyssey,' but with better clothes." The group chuckled softly. "But the thing is," Grace continued, "I missed the war. I wasn't there for the fights. I wasn't there for the fear. When I was born... the walls were already up. The drawbridge was down."

Grace was the daughter of the kind woman from the village who had helped Gray and Josh settle. Gray and Josh got close after Gray narrated his story to her. It might have been a pity, and Gray couldn’t tell. But Grace was really kind to them after that, and that was something both of them really appreciated. They were not, of course, idle when they stayed in the village. He borrowed books from them, and after reading Shakespeare’s books, he developed an interest in art and poem.

Her voice came young and ladylike. Grace was a young 25 year old whom Grey hired right out of high school. He saw something in her and he was right to gamble.. - Hey Grace, how you doing!?" He spoke with a sigh. - Am good now! I thought you were Dead!" He heard the sounds of car horns and people in the background she was driving somewhere. - Yeah.. I needed some alone time!" - Five years worth of it! You couldn't come back at a better time. I just met with a gift shop owner who sold me an antique weapon. From what I read in the library about it... Seven figures."

They both giggle, but Grace tries to push away faster than usual. She swats at her brother’s arm, “I told you last time, you’re getting too strong.” She jokes, her smile making me lose myself in her all over again. Over the past few years, she’s been happy. More than, but lately she’s been acting different. Her book took off without a hitch and with everyone in the know, and understanding more about her and Cora, things have become pretty easy going. No more attempts on her life, or kidnappings. And with the amount of families she made whole again, I don’t even think the book was necessary, she’s one of the most beloved Luna’s of all time.

Shawn hit the nail on the head. Grace smiled bashfully upon being called out. Then, she focused on the stack of books. "Are these all yours?" "Yeah, Zain didn't want to sell them. He said they wouldn't fetch much, so they've been kept as a memento." Grace squatted down and browsed through the books. She noticed that they were books from a long time ago. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she picked up a book from the floor. "Criminolo—" Before she could finish, Shawn snatched it away and mustered a smile. "I wanted to join the police academy."
