Review: Pink - Suzanne D. Williams








Review: Pink - Suzanne D Williams - April 2015

The Phantom Paragrapher here, and let me tell you about my latest midnight reading adventure...

Picture this: it's past 11 PM, I'm doom-scrolling through my Kindle library like it's TikTok, and my brain is doing that thing where it rejects every single book cover that doesn't immediately spark joy. You know the feeling - when life's been a bit chaotic and you just need something quick and easy to reset your reading mojo? That's exactly where I found myself when Pink's cover caught my eye.

At a breezy 78 pages, this YA contemporary was exactly what my restless mind ordered. Suzanne D.Williams introduces us to Bridgette "Pink" - though everyone calls her Punk because she's about as far from stereotypical pink princess vibes as you can get. She's got that perfect mix of rebellion and softness that makes teen characters feel real rather than tropey.

The setup is classic enemies-to-lovers territory: Punk gets stuck tutoring Nelson Trader, the school's golden boy heartthrob. But here's where it gets interesting - she teaches him to read using romance novels. As someone who's personally converted multiple romance skeptics by shoving Sarah J. Maas at them, I absolutely lived for this plot device.

Watching Nelson and Punk get swept up in fictional love stories while navigating their own growing attraction was genuinely sweet. Suzanne D.Williams does a nice job exploring that universal high school anxiety about crossing social boundaries - can the popular guy really fall for the girl who doesn't fit his crowd's expectations?

Sure, Pink won't revolutionize YA literature, but it's the perfect palate cleanser when you need something uncomplicated and heartwarming. Sometimes that's exactly what we need.
