MY REVIEW

Charlie's a single dad, a college student, and a man who suffers from anxiety and panic attacks. Then he meets a gorgeous guy at the café where he works, and his life gets a little brighter. Ben is in a popular rock band and about to become very famous. He's sweet and not about to let the gorgeous Charlie get away without at least getting him to take a chance on being with him. But he'll have to have a lot of patience, be a freaking rock, and have the understanding of a saint because Charlie's life is...complicated. Will Charlie let Ben in, to his life, to his heart?

What I like most about this story, and there's a lot to like, is that both Charlie and Ben are very relatable. Not only are they likable, but their lives, their issues, their behavior, aren't out of the realm of realism. All of us have issues, all of us are imperfect, and Charlie and Ben are the same, and so easy to relate to because of it. I felt for Charlie because of not just his anxiety, but his horrible family, but Charlie made it work. Yes, he was a ball of scattered thoughts, but he had a heart. He was a great dad, a great friend, and when he finally let himself be, he was a great boyfriend. And Ben? Just so adorable with his lovely smile and his determination and patience, yet his willingness to give Charlie space when he needed it. Their story is altogether so wonderful, with a lot of heart, a stellar secondary cast, and a couple of likable, relatable leads.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings. Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
