To me it's a self confidence builder when your parents accept you for who you are. If they don't, then you feel like you're less than. I loved how Kellie's mom and stepdad are free spirits. That's how I see myself as a parent. My husband and I don't rule with iron fists, but we don't let our kids run wild, either. I'd like to think we've found a nice balance. Thanks for reading! :D ~Jennifer~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05952809868354553112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2637431625691198463.post-27542997981386390632013-12-03T23:51:41.679-05:002013-12-03T23:51:41.679-05:00Awesome review, Jennifer!

Your description of her bio-dad made my left eye twitch. I don't understand a parent not validating their child for who they are. Ugh! Sara and Oliver seem to add layers to the story. Thanks for sharing this - it's definitely going on my TBR.Bookworm Brandeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15834408515209743135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2637431625691198463.post-56398957373103828572013-11-27T17:05:31.790-05:002013-11-27T17:05:31.790-05:00This book just perfectly takes all of those dynami...This book just perfectly takes all of those dynamics and makes a riveting story that keeps you engaged and loving these characters. I can't help my mom side coming out. It does without my permision, lol. <br /><br />One of the aspects I wanted to write about in this review but didn't was how much I loved the fact that her mom and stepdad aren't your typical parents. They're tattoo artists, great at what they do, and they're free spirits. I really see myself and my husband as non typical parents. We both have tattoos, we're teaching our kids to be open minded and that there are people who are different from us and that's ok. When I was their age, I had no idea there were people who are gay or of a different religion or anything about different cultures. And you know I'm all about the tattoos, lol. ~Jennifer~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05952809868354553112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2637431625691198463.post-53239388582218639592013-11-27T15:29:02.674-05:002013-11-27T15:29:02.674-05:00Thanks about the review, Margaret! :D Thanks about the review, Margaret! :D ~Jennifer~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05952809868354553112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2637431625691198463.post-8301842946993802012013-11-26T18:50:25.337-05:002013-11-26T18:50:25.337-05:00Wow, there are a lot of dynamics in this story, st...Wow, there are a lot of dynamics in this story, step dad, bad dad, friend drama, boy drama, and tattoos? I like it when your mom side comes into play in your reviews. There have been books when I wanted to jump inside the book and lock the characters in a room with one of my "just be a kid" lectures. Great review, Jennifer. It sounds like a wonderful book and what an awesome cover!robgirlbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398614063792587098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2637431625691198463.post-34056510878829134452013-11-26T14:57:13.690-05:002013-11-26T14:57:13.690-05:00Congrats on your release Amy!
