This was a nice enough story. I don't think it was very special and I guess both the main characters could have been more developed. But all in all it was a nice a bit sad story about Travis, a 19 year old who returns home from Afghanistan after losing his best friend, fighting demons (mostly his gh...

Book number 4 for me on the list of NA books that Gisbelle recommended me.Small review.I absolutely loved this book. Travis was a really likeable character and I really felt for him during the whole book. Though of course he made some stupid mistakes (having sex with your ex, who also has a new boyf...

When Something Like Normal arrived on my doorstep, I was excited. I hadn’t asked for a review copy, and I was interested to see what the lovely people at Bloomsbury had sent me. When I read the blurb, I knew I had to read this book. Now, I am not known for reading many contemporary novels, Something...

I do have to admit, I'm a sucker for a lot of the things this book had to offer, and I'm quite happy to finish this earlier than I'd have wanted with very few complaints.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. When I picked it up at the library, I checked the verdicts of my friends, and it seemed to be split down the middle. They either really liked it or they really didn't. I decided to give it a go, mostly because it was so short (just over 200 pages), so I knew ...

This book is an okay read.It begins with this guy called Travis. He just got back home from Afghanistan, and he is overridden with guilt of his friend's death. Now back at 'home', where it's no longer really 'home' for him, he has to deal with certain things average Joe deals with, and some not-aver...

This is a YA/NA. I'm not a big fan of YAs & NAs, but I did really like this book. It's told from the H's POV, which I luv'd. It deals w/heavy issues, but nothing is over dramatized like a bad soap opera like so many of today's contemps are. I REALLY appreciated that the author kept the thoughts...
