Julia Becker, a pretty and popular barrel-racing champion, is acutely aware that life changes in the blink of an eye. She’s about to start her senior year of high school and is recovering from a serious riding accident when her long-time boyfriend, star-quarterback Tyler Perkins, breaks up with her. Lucas Mercado, the son of a Mexican migrant worker, has been living and working at the Perkins dairy farm for the last three months. When he meets Julia at the end of summer, he wants nothing more than to help her start riding again. There’s something about her that draws him to her, but he knows he needs to be careful. When Julia is finally back on her feet, she begins to train for a rescue race with Lucas. Just when life starts feeling normal again, Julia is reminded of how quickly things can change and just how much she has to lose. Life happens fast, and sometimes it’s all you can do to not blink.

Clean YA Featuring Everyday Social Issues By Chloe Jelane More than a Moment starts out with Julia’s boyfriend (Tyler) abruptly breaking up with her just before their senior year in high school. As if that isn’t enough, Julia is also a bit on the outs with her friends after being laid up with a horseback riding injury over the summer, and one of her so-called best friends appears to have grown much closer to Tyler than normal. Luckily, she strikes up a friendship with Lucas (a classmate and immigrant farmhand who works for Tyler’s parents) and, in doing so, learns a lot about true friendship, love, following your heart and standing up for what you believe in.“For anyone who has ever wanted more time.”I suspected from the opening line that this book would touch my heart, and I was right. However, I wasn’t expecting to feel so many different emotions—from sadness, anger and anticipation to embarrassment for the characters and relief. All a result of the themes covered in this lovely YA novel: friendship, peer pressure, bullying, stereotypes, racism, immigration, young love and romance.Aside from the range of emotions I felt while reading, I loved the realistic interactions between the characters, all of the interesting information about horses, and the way Albright tackles the topic of illegal immigration. This is the first fictional book for teens I’ve encountered that highlights several current points related to the issue, all of which are seamlessly woven into the storyline so as not to make the book seem like a lesson in sociology or politics.Two final things that really tugged at my heart strings were the romance between Julia and Lucas, and Albright’s focus on the significance of blinks (and all that can occur with just one) throughout the story.If you’re looking for a clean YA read with serious everyday themes, then I highly recommend this one.Disclosure: I was provided an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

It sounded different from other books that are out there and I'm a sucker for romances that are different. I wasn't disappointed by More Than A Moment. It exceeded my expectations. This story deals with issues I've never read about in a book before but which are very prevalent right now, and it does so in a way I felt was very realistic. It really makes you stop and think about people who are in different circumstances from your own.The romance. The romance was incredibly sweet…and yet intense! It made me feel as if I were in my teens again, reading the YA romances that were so popular back then. It was so refreshing and at the same time it made me feel nostalgic for those times. I just loved every moment of Julia's romance with Lucas. I especially loved the way they just were with each other, taking care of each other yet encouraging each other to be strong.More Than A Moment is the perfect young adult romance.

I was immediately drawn in by the author's intelligent and emotional writing. The reader immediately feels connected to the heroine, Julia. She's been dealt a tough hand when the book starts and you feel her pain and frustration, which took me back to my own teenage years.One of the aspects I found most appealing about this book was how relevant it was. There were so many moments where Julia and Lucas are having to deal with things and I just want to jump into the book and take care of them. I winced more than once when they were being teased (I will not go into details to spoil it). I didn't want to believe other people would treat people that way and I thought to myself, "This would never happen!", but then I realized it would and it does. It made me stop and think about being a teenager myself and seeing others treated poorly, knowing I should step in and say something, but was too afraid for fear of being ostracized. Teenagers have a hard enough life just trying to fit in and it's hard to do anything to jeopardize that. This book will make young people stop and think, "What would I do in a situation like this?" or "What should I do?" Hopefully it has given some the courage to stand up for others, even when they're in the minority.The characters were great. I loved Julia. She was very relatable and a strong girl...a great influence to readers because she did what she knew was right, not what was cool. Lucas was lovable and kind. Such a sweet guy. It was very easy to hate Tyler and Miranda. They were the worst aspects of teenage life that unfortunately, we've all had to deal with.I would highly recommend More than a Moment. Bravo, Kristin Albright, on a sweet romance that has the ability to inspire many.
