Bottom line: The only way on god’s great green earth you’ll catch me reading another Brigid Kemmerer book is if Bloomsbury, the light of my life, sends me one. But, in the end, his father cheated all of his investors out of millions, and Rob has been tainted by the scandal. Oh lord, I needed something cute and fluffy from all the super depressing books I've been reading lately. My favorite in the collection, Camel Light, is merely about a man finding a cigarette in his kitchen.

This book makes you think, question your rights and wrongs, clench your fists and hit against the walls, curse heavily, ache for the characters, cry for the unfairness but finally smile because karma always does its work impeccably. Through a random set of circumstances, Rob takes on the persona of Robin Hood, by taking from the rich and passing on the spoils of his plunder to the poorer kids in their high school.They want to hear more, see more, expect more…but it’s YA and relationships are messy-especially with family-people are just too harsh. Rob had it all – friends, a near-guaranteed lacrosse scholarship to college and an amazing family – but all that changed when his dad was caught embezzling funds from half the town.

Everyone knows some secrets are heavy to bear when they concern your loved ones and the only thing you’d like is help them. As if this weren't bad enough, Rob now finds himself a social pariah with zero friends to support him.I’m so into read her other books ASAP as I keep snoozing, wiping my tears and pouring my wine to get rid of the effects of the emotional turmoil the book left on me! Rob’s a former golden boy whose father sustained a profound brain injury when he almost died by suicide after he was turned in for illegal activity with his investors’ money. My Roommate Kevin is Awesome - 11 pp - Kevin starts to channel miracles - he can hang in mid-air, conjure Ray Charles, or create a battle of miniature real soldiers in his dorm room. A really enjoyable collection of solidly observed stories focused on blue-collar life and the living of it. Rob, the ex-lacrosse superstar, is now known as the thief who helped his father embezzle money from families in their town.

However I really enjoyed how much focus of the story was based on the characters home-situations and school life. And so when they are forced into being partners for a school project they are also forced to learn more about each other and that everything isn't always what it looks like on the outside. As usual, Kemmerer's story has two unlikely people finding comfort in one another and there is literally nothing more wholesome than that to me. I also LOVE the appreciation for college romances, because I feel like that's another area of romance that I don't see too often. However, if you want to read a contemporary that discusses money and teenage pregnancy in the right way, pick this one up.Samantha’s arc was a lot to take in, especially because of what she ends up doing, but the best part about it was how protective Meagan was with her and viceversa.

And also the fact that even if you are brought up in a certain situation, that does not mean you have to follow in your parents footsteps. Also that one time they were shitting on Graham for no reason like first she’s saying he’s one of her good friends then she saying fuck him like wth! It irks him that his father was his biggest supporter in his lacrosse scholarship aspirations and came to every game.

She was born in Omaha, Nebraska, though her parents quickly moved her all over the United States, from the desert in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to the lakeside in Cleveland, Ohio, with several stops in between. In the summer after graduation, Autumn and Finny reconnect and are finally ready to be more than friends.
