Killian Lewis has grown up in the spotlight. At nineteen years old, he has finally had enough of this showbiz life. Much to the disappointment of his cold-hearted team, he decides to leave his celebrity life in London for the summer. Instead, he's going to hide out in Ohio with his father and a blended family that he barely knows.

His plan is to stay invisible. His plan is to figure out his future. His plan is to decide if the life of an actor is still worth living. But then he meets Hazel.

While stuck in the JFK airport during a layover, Killian walks up to this free-spirited girl and is abruptly thrown into her eccentric world. Not only does he feel this instant connection to her, but as time passes he realizes he knows her. He just can't remember how.

Hazel has secrets. These secrets have not only changed her life, but they'll change Killian's, too. The question is, will Killian figure them out in time . . . and if he does, what will he do when these secrets finally become unveiled?

Contains mature themes.

The emotion of this book shows through the reading

This is an emotional book with great characters and a great story. Jessica Forrester Davis is an excellent author.

Her Name is Hazel: And It’s More Than Just a Name, It’s A Heartfelt Journey

So, Her Name Is Hazel… not gonna lie, I picked it up because—well, my name is Hazel, and I was like, “I need to see if this book’s gonna vibe with me!” But honestly, this book? It totally surpassed my expectations!

It’s one of those stories where it hits you right in the feels. Hazel is complex, relatable, and so real—she’s not perfect, but that’s what makes her story so special.

I laughed, I cried, and sometimes, I just stared at the page thinking about how well this story resonated with me. The relationships, the growth, the way Hazel evolves throughout—honestly, it’s a bit of a rollercoaster, but in the best way.

If you’re a fan of stories with depth, emotion, and a main character who will stick with you long after you finish the book, Her Name is Hazel should definitely be on your list. I’m so glad I read it—and I just might go back for a second read.

P.S. Shoutout to all the Hazels out there, you’ll love this!

Reread

I loved this book even more the second time !!! I reread this because Sarah’s next book His Name Is August will be out in just a few days and I want to refresh this book before reading the next. I’m so glad I did!

Well written

this is a very well written, unexpected ending book. Really felt like I could understand the characters.
