Relationships.
Love.
Life.
All things that can be considered—and oftentimes are—just a bit crazy.
With an alcoholic father and an absentee mother, seventeen-year old Eppie Aberdeen has learned firsthand that life’s circumstances aren’t always sunshine and roses.
So Eppie doesn’t expect the fairytale, because reality certainly isn’t one. She’s not waiting on the handsome prince with his white horse to come to her rescue. But even though she’s not waiting on it, that doesn’t stop nineteen-year-old Lincoln Ross from driving straight into her heart with his teal and white campervan and his too tall stature and perpetually goofy grin.
It’s difficult to believe in a happily ever after when a happy now is quite hard to find. But Lincoln gives Eppie hope that despite the odds, a true and unconditional love might actually be out there. A revised fairytale. A new kind of love story. But then again, that might just be plain crazy.
(Sigh) Talk about a breathe of fresh air! Megan Squires has truly delivered again.
I loved Eppie & Lincoln! They were relatable as well as adorable.
Their names alone are enough to have you grinning from ear to ear.
Eppie had me laughing out loud and Lincoln had me swooning through the book. Without giving too much away I’ll summarize to say: Eppie, is quirky and somewhat of a loner. Life has not been the easiest for her, with an alcoholic father and an absentee mother. She was even accused of trying to killing herself by falling out a window when she was 9 years old. In comes Lincoln, sweet, trustworthy, giving and so swoon-worthy. His family dynamics, have him on the outside rather than in, with his overbearing family. But once Eppie & Lincoln’s paths continually collide the sparks take over all that is lost between them, as they learn together to move on from the past.
"Thank you, Eppie. Thank you for this life and this love, the likes of which I never knew possible. You took a leap with me, and I'll forever be grateful you trusted me to fall with you.” ~Lincoln
This is definitely a recommendable YA read! 5/5stars
