![]() ![]() ![]() But I was born second, which just makes me a faded copy of the original." "No one in this family notices my presence or my absence. Their stepmom has the same name as the mom, and really only tries to mother Merit’s little half-brother. Their mom lives in the basement and doesn’t come out. They are an odd bunch, Merit is a high school senior and has a twin sister, Honor, and an older brother who changes the church marquis daily to another quirky fact. Merit’s family lives in a converted church in a small town in Texas. No one has a clue what’s going on with anyone around here." ![]() We have a mother living in our basement and a father living in his own world. ![]() It’s idiosyncratic, and it totally brought me out of the funk I was having from too many similar books. This young adult novel isn’t an epic romance like we are used to from Colleen, though there is a budding romance, it more of a journey of one of the quirkiest families I have ever read about. She never follows the trends and always brings us a unique, emotional story. In fact, she came to the very first Wicked Book Weekend back in the beginning of 2013! Every single book of hers has been amazing. She was one of the reasons I started my blog, to share books like hers. Colleen Hoover has been a favorite of mine since she released Slammed. ![]()
