A special thank you to Edelweiss and Penguin Publishing Group for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.At almost six feet tall with the redhead temper, Zee is an unlikely fairy tale princess for Gentry. She was in an accident that shattered her hip, and as a result goes to physical therapy. It is...
This novel, oh this novel. Wavy had no one to take care of her, to watch over her as she became the adult of the family. Not even double digits, silent Wavy cared for her younger brother while her parents lived in their own little world of drugs and alcohol. It was amazing how mature Wavy became, sh...
In case you haven't heard of this book or looked up the synopsis -- this is an unconventional love story. Our 'hero', Kellen, meets our 'heroine', Wavy, when he's somewhere around 21 and she's about 8. It's basically love at first sight for both of them. Now let me be clear. I in NO WAY support or...
I am a bit thrown by how good, yet disturbing this read was.The story concerning Wavy is heartbreaking. There is just no other way to describe it. How she came to be and what she was born into and forced to endure as a result. I have mad respect for this girl. Because no matter what was forced upon ...
This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life.I am so disappointed! I was so excited to read this book and I didn't love it nearly as much I thought I would. I have seen so many rave reviews for this book and I just knew that I would absolutely love it too. I actually pulled it out on New...
While troubling to some, I would call this an unconventional love story. There were certainly moments that made me wince. But that's art's job isn't it? To challenge convention? If one strips away the theme that everyone objects to, what's left is a harrowing story of survival--in the aftermath...
4.5 stars. It takes, I guess, intelligence and empathy to pull off a book like this.This story is a departure from my usual reads, I rarely read contemporary fiction and I was forewarned it dealt with very serious themes which I cannot even apply the word “controversial” to, because it would imply t...
The most amazing and wonderful book EVER!This book was so great I just don't know where to begin. Just read it! It's touching and beautiful and heartbreaking and horrible and sweet and wonderful and above all else it's absolutely real! Real life at it's rawest, real emotion and heartbreak and persev...
This book destroyed everything I thought about love, family, and life. It chipped away at me, page by page, and then rebuilt me in a completely different fashion in the conclusion. I went into this book knowing nothing. I just liked the title and the cover. Yes, I judged a book by the cover. I lik...
I loved it. It was ugly, gritty, sweet and unforgettable.This is the hardest review I've ever had to write/post on a book. This book will be hard for many people who feel very strongly about the age issue. It was something so wrong and yet was right in a very off centered way. The characters in this...
