Two Roads by L.M. Augustine

The only person poetry-loving Cali Monroe hates more than herself is Logan Waters, the geeky kid who lives in the dorm building next to hers.

Ever since Cali’s parents told her she would amount to nothing, she has felt entirely inadequate. Friendless and alone, she takes on the mean girl role in hopes it will make her feel better–and Logan serves as the perfect target. He infuriates her with his obnoxiously long lashes, his all too perfect dimpled smile, and his complete lack of personality outside of his intelligence. It doesn’t hurt that he’s part of the reason her brother is dead, either. So Cali hates him, and he returns the favor. Thus, their prank-filled, insult-driven rivalry is born, and torturing Logan quickly becomes the highlight of her life.

But when Cali’s parents set them up on a blind date, she begins to realize Logan might not be as boring as she always thought. He shares her love of poetry, takes a sadistic pleasure in making fun of crepes, and he makes her blush when he calls her smile pretty.

And hey, maybe those long lashes of his aren’t that obnoxious after all…

~REVIEW~

It was a great read. The characters where realistic and very likable. The main character Cali Monroe when through some heart wrenching pain for the lost of her brother Ben/Benjamin Monroe. As well her screw up relationship after that with her parents and her wrath/love for Logan Waters, her brother’s best friend and the only person who could bring up the memories of her long ago out of reach happy life. The story really developed well and presented great the topics such as death, suicide, and learning to move on. This will make readers heal and love along with Cali and Logan. This read will make people to stand up for what they believe and be brave enough to grab ones dream no matter what. But more importantly to make it happen.
