Life sucks for orphans Callum Tate and Harper Bailey.
Kicked out of their foster homes because they suffer the 'eighteen
disease' with nothing but a hundred dollar check from the government and a pat
on the back, they're forced to rely on a system that failed them miserably.
So they sit. They sit inside Social Services, waiting for their social
workers to call their names and offer them the miracle they know will never
come but they sit anyway because they have nowhere else to go, no other options
on their very literal and figurative empty plates.
But as they sit, they notice the other. Although captivated, they each
come to the conclusion that life is complicated enough without throwing in a
boiling tension that can't ever be acted upon because they're both too busy
thinking about where their next meal will come from but when their names are
called and both are placed on a year long waiting list for permanent housing,
suddenly relying on each other seems like a very viable plan B.
And, oh, how lovely Plan B's can be.
Well, except for the psycho from Harper's past that haunts her and, oh,
yeah, there's the little issue that neither of them knows they're in love with
the other.
Needless to say, Callum & Harper's life just got a bit more
complicated.
“One day, you and I are gonna’ wake up and be alright. Maybe not today,
maybe not tomorrow but one day. One day. I promise you.” - Callum Tate
Few months ago my partner in crime here Glass told me about this book and said that I'd love it. As she knows me too well I took her advice and read this book. As always she was right this is type of the book that I love! Here is her review of Callum & Harper and you can read mine below.
This book got me on the first page I believe. I melted after
first few pages. That occures rarely but every time it does I love it. Let me
say that this book and story itself are far from perfect but I admire those
authors that make me feel the book and cry like a little baby.
Callum and Harper share almost the same past. They are both
homeless and without anyone in this world and they’re also eighteen so that
means that they need to take care of themselves. They suddenly meet while
sitting inside Social Service and it seems like destiny wanted them to meet. Up
until yesterday those two perfect strangers became somethingthey could only
dream about, best friends as it seems. Only they’re uncetain how to share their
feelings and their past is chasing them so they must maintain togehter but
question is how when ther is so much to say and to understand. I know it sound
like some romantic movie but like I said it’s so sweet that I couldn’t resist
it.
I admit there is too much drama and too much
misunderstandings for one book. At come point I just wanted it to be over and
luckily it was. The author of this book definitely has a talent for creating
sweet and heartbreaking love stories and for creating relations between
charactes and defintely for putting dramatic parts (only some limits have to be
set). This book is really readable and I wasn’t able to stop until the end.
I must say that I really look forward to reading other books
from this author.
Until the next time,
