WHERES THE SECOND BOOK I NEED A SECOND BOOK JOSH YOU BLOODY HEARTBREAKER YOU 
 I'll Meet You There by Heather Demetrios explores the story of Creek View girl, Skylar Evans and returning marine, Josh. Unlike typical girls in the small town of Creek View who end up in a double-wide trailer working night shifts at Taco Bell, Skylar has long had aspirations of leaving to pursue her dreams of exploring the world and going to art school but what happens when her mum loses her job and goes through an infamous existential crisis? Josh had a different escape route: the Marines. But after an incident that nearly cost him his life, he returns home - a shell of the boy he used to be. This book looks at the story of two polar opposites and the development of an unexpected friendship and prepares something deeper. 
 Where do I begin? This book was compelling, captivating, emotionally destroying and ALL THINGS WONDERFUL. This book covered themes of love, loss and resilience. I'm honestly at loss for words, I knew that after finishing this book that the concept of writing a review flew OUT OF THE WINDOW. No matter what I say about this book, it will never justify how truly amazing this book is. The realistic and complex family lifestyle and issues were so well written and developed. I loved Josh. His character was so complex and intricately developed. The concept and issue of soldiers and PTSD was explored and conveyed with such sensitivity and urgency, this is an issue that we need to discuss and talk about more. We need to be there for each other. I found bits of myself and those around me within the characters which made the book so much more personal and special. I think what really hit home was the similarities I found between myself and the main character. Her conflict and contemplating on whether she wanted to leave her home town to pursue her dreams or wanted to stay with her family and friends is similar to the situation that I'm finding myself more and more in, especially with graduation just around the corner and university a year away. 
 I'm so glad I read this book during my final year of high-school, It was such a special read and I can't fathom to you enough just how eye opening and comforting this book is. I love this book so much, read it... you won't regret it.
