In Honor by: jessi kirby

Honor lost her parents when she was just a little girl, but her brother Finn was always there for her to make everything better. Then he enlisted in the military, and was shipped over seas. No one understood why he did that when he had his dream life ahead of him. Then he is killed while on a mission, and Honor doesn't know how to handle it. She is lost, and believes if she just acts like it didn't happen, she can pretend he is still overseas and alive. Then she receives a letter from her brother that he had written before everything messed up. This letter inspires a road trip of possibilities. When she is about to hit the road, Rusty, Finn's old best friend now turned drunk, decides to go along with her.




This book was such an emotional roller coaster! From anger, to tears, to nothing but giggles this book takes you all over the map of losing a loved one.

I guess I was expecting something different for this novel. When I heard that Rusty was going along for the ride, I assumed I was in for a total romance novel of how her brothers death brought them together. Not that there wasn't little hints here and there at it but it wasn't a googly eyed kissin romance where its only about that and not the actual story.

Rusty and Honor were both amazing characters. They were the kind you love one moment then hate the next then just kinda like them until they do something to make you love them or hate them again. But can i just say, Rusty sounds like a totally sexy cowboy! A few issues here and there but all in all a good guy!

All in all, I have to say it was a really good book that I found hard to put down!

I give this book 4 out of 5 thumbs up

Reunited

3 ex-bestfriends and a road trip across the country to see a band they all love! What could go wrong right?

This book was such an enjoyable read!! There were many parts when I was laughing so hard I could not breathe. And when I was reading it in public I definitely had a few people giving me the "is she okay?" look. I couldn't hold in my laughter. The were cute boys, plenty of drama, and also some great lessons to be learned. My favorite part was getting to see each characters personality grow around the others. This was the perfect summer read for me and I totally recommend it for anyone looking for a fun, upbeat, spastic laugh causing novel!

Totally pick this up on a nice day outside and trust me, you can plan on not lifting your butt out of the chair until you have flipped that last page!

My Rating: 4
