4.5 Shameless Stars!! 
 Lex Martin is climbing up my favorites list! I consumed all her books this week and loved every single one of them! Shameless was no different. I devoured it whole and savored every second. 
 I love when a book starts off with the aftermath of a tragedy. Lex does it perfectly, allowing us to only know the characters that died through the memories of the main characters. My heart can only take so much people, so this is exactly up my ally. 
 You're going to fall so hard for Brody. Seeing him evolve into an insta-Dad and a friend to Katherine is addicting to say the least. You are rooting for these two, not only in their relationship, but their friendship, thire comradery and in their guilt. 
 There was so much heartache on both sides, I really hurt for these two, but seeing them lift each other up was such a special treat. I can't get enough! 
 I can't wait to see where Lex goes this year! Wherever it is, I'll be sure to follow.
