I hate thought-provoking books for making my head spinning with overly-thinking about them and for the conflicted monologues I keep having even hours after finishing them. My head still hurts.

I don't honestly know how I am truly feeling about The Breakaway, I can't tell if I liked it or not. One thing is for sure: I have never felt so outraged, angered at a character my whole reading-life.

This is the first book I read about abduction and Stockholm Syndrome, I usually steer clear from books that deal with heavy subjects and know would eventually make me uncomfortable, they are in fact at the top of my Out-of-Comfort-Zone list. However it wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be. It didn't have the abuse or constant violence, her captors treated her like she was part of the family but they couldn't/won't let her go; but that didn't stop me from feeling bewildered and sometimes even repulsed by what I was reading.

Full review to come.… (meer)

This book takes you on a journey. An unexpected journey, with twists and turns, heartache, love, laughter, tears...it's got it all.

This one is an outstanding example of a "coming-of-age" story of Maggie, who just turned 20. Her parents are country music superstars, which makes the setting for this story so unique.
She faces many challenges, but faces them with maturity (most of the time...can't blame her for reacting like a young adult sometimes), and has to make potentially life altering decisions.

I thought the Author Michelle Argyle did a great job throughout this book… (meer)
