Tommen's cheekiest lad, Gerard 'Gibsie' Gibson, has always been a comedian, but most people don't see what lurks beneath the surface. He is haunted by events of the past and he uses humor to cope, hiding his true self from the world.

Claire Biggs, the epitome of sunshine, has always loved Gibsie, her brother's friend and her favorite neighbor. She has always seen a side to him that no one else seems to notice. She becomes determined to tame her wild-at-heart childhood best friend.

When lines are crossed, it becomes unclear whether Gibsie and Claire's friendship will survive. Will it blossom into something more, or will they lose themselves in the wild?



One of my students asked me if I wanted to read this series and of course, I was like sure. I don't mind reading what my students are reading as it gives me an idea of the books they would like to possibly see in a library. Now, this is one I wouldn't put in our library as it is a bit of scenes that could upset folks. 
Why in the hell did this book even go this route!!! I literally was almost done and then thrown in a freaking shock I about balled for Gibsie. It was truly sad that Gibsie had to shoulder his trauma by himself. His mom is a douche and I was already over her and her nonsense. I never once thought that the way he acted was him deflecting so much and trying to be the best friend and joker to all. I truly do love the banter that all of the characters have with each other and at times I found myself laughing with how Claire and Gibsie interacted. I have fallen in love with this whole series and the characters. I am hoping we get a book with Lizzie because I feel she is truly a character who is just as damaged as the rest of them. I didn't like how at first no one was standing up to Lizzie, because I mean all she did was give grief to Gibsie, but in the end, we see just why she treated him the way she did. It was totally uncalled for but you can tell she was angry and I do think there is more than meets the eye with her. 
Now, this book is supposed to be about Gibsie and Claire, but I do feel like it focused a lot more on him which I could understand why the author did it that way.

Let me welcome Author Teri Polen for an interview. I read her book Sarah which I got from NetGalley and let me tell you it was actually a really good read. If you click on the link you can read my review. What truly pulled me to requesting the book was the cover. I know, I know, you should never just get a book by its cover but you know sometimes the cover catches your eye and you just have to read it. I was very happy and surprised to have the author contact me. I think in all my requesting from NetGalley I have had maybe two authors contact me. So I jumped on the chance to interview Mrs. Polen. Check out her interview and enter into the giveaway that she was kind enough to do.

Have you ever wondered what Autism was? Do you or someone you know have Autism? Did you know that sometimes Autism is sometimes misdiagnosed? Think about how long a parent is thinking their child has a disorder and is being treated for that one disorder, only to be told months or years later that no your child has Autism. Do you know that a majority of children that have Autism get picked on because they are so called "different" they look normal just like a normal person would but yet they act different. The children and I am sure adults too that have Autism are being bullied at times because people do not quite understand Autism. If you would like more information on Autism, what it is, the symptoms and other useful information please go to this website: http://www.autism-society.org/ While you are there, feel free to look around, and pass that website around on your blog, on twitter, anywhere that will bring more people to the site and help others truly understand Autis...
