It's funny because for me Natasha Madison is a go
to author for a book that's going to be easy to get lost in and leave me with a
smile. Then I saw a few early reviews for this saying how emotional it was, and
I got nervous. I am not in the head space for a book that's going to leave me
ugly crying in my bed. I have a six year old demon child for that 😉
But once I picked this up, I just wanted to stay
wrapped up in it. Honestly, I figured out half of Koda’s reluctance to have
anything to do with Christopher before I started reading. The other half was
not even slightly what I was expecting, yet it was written so well that I felt
it. And by the end of the first chapter, I was wanting Benji to be hit by a Zamboni.
Watching Koda deal with the fall out of Benji's
death but also having to drop the pretence of Benji's life with the friends who
thought they had known him was emotional. But I think I escaped being too upset
by it because I was so mad at Benji. And it helped that Christopher was too,
especially when he realised that he never really knew his best friend.
Koda and Christopher came together so naturally.
And the way he loved the girls had me all warm and fuzzy. As always, the family
was awesome and hilarious and there for everyone. And Christopher gave such
awesome book boyfriend vibes I loved every minute of reading this book. Even
when I had to wipe away a few tears, I knew smiles were going to follow.
And now we go back to waiting for the next book.
Although from the little tease at the end I think we are in for some fireworks.
