Personally, I feel like Harlequin is the only publisher that supplies to places like Target or Kmart now. I'm still torn over whether I want to pick this one up. I do tend to get annoyed with characters, but more so when they're doing things incredibly stupid. I might be able to stand her considering it's a grief book. I haven't read one since A Place In This Life by Julie Duck. It was a while ago, but it was good. I remember crying at 4am in the morning with my kindle in my hand.Brett @ Demons Read Toohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095284957650536555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-71667444108243198932014-04-04T05:35:19.810+11:002014-04-04T05:35:19.810+11:00It was actually Caleb's character that intrigu...It was actually Caleb's character that intrigued me more. I felt so much sympathy for the poor teen.

An author must spend entire plotlines agonizing about character traits. I only wish Emma Chad shown a little more empathy towards step father Dan.Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-91287688283234560282014-04-04T05:03:27.546+11:002014-04-04T05:03:27.546+11:00Emma tread that fine line between deeply grieving ...Emma tread that fine line between deeply grieving and being incredibly self absorbed.

Losing the only person who truly understood you, being left out by the stepfather she grew to love... even I'm not sure I would have been strong as she has been. This sounds so heart-wrenching :( I'm pretty sure there are a lot of values to learn from here, and I'd read that for those, even if I empty my tearducts along the way. Awesome review, girl.<br /><br />Faye at <a href="http://thesocialpotato.maryfaye.net" rel="nofollow">The Social Potato Reviews</a>Faye M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482378962410177583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-30132112346928756352014-04-01T14:17:03.243+11:002014-04-01T14:17:03.243+11:00It must be a hard line to straddle as an author - ...It must be a hard line to straddle as an author - between angsty tedius teen and a person trying to deal with their emotions (i.e. Anger). <br />Another one I've not heard of but it sounds great.
