"This is a YA read, but adults will also enjoy and learn from this fast-paced book. I started it with every intention of reading a few chapters before bed. Five hours later I had devoured the entire book. The characters are beautifully flawed and I found myself cheering for them when they couldn’t cheer for themselves. There are some hard, but real, issues addressed in this book. I appreciate that Beckie Lindsey addresses topics that are often ignored and spotlights the reality that there is more going on that what we may ever see with our eyes. This is a great read for teens who are fighting their own battles, as well as adults who would like insight into the struggles of today’s teens and young adults face."

Now That's a Workout
I am one of those people who actually likes to jog. Notice that I didn't say I'm great at it, but I do enjoy it. Oh and by the way, I don't have the typical physique of a jogger either. Several years ago, I had put on some extra pounds. The idea of jogging appealed to...
