ks his world again, will it be Jordyn who shows him the way to a hopeful future? Or after everything, will Tyler have to find it in himself?
I had the delightful opportunity to meet this author at this past YA fest, and she was just lovely! ^-^ I thought it was funny how she presented her book to us: "This book is about a boy who has to deal with the aftermath of his mother's suicide and his father's abuse.... Oh, and did I mention, it's a romantic comedy?" XD
Comes out August 4th, 2015!!!!
So what are you waiting on this week? ;D
