Amikor elkezdtem olvasni Kathleen Glasgow idén szeptemberben megjelent új könyvét, egyáltalán semmi ötletem, gondolatom nem volt azzal kapcsolatban, mivel állok szemben – ugyanis a korábbiaktól eltérően én nem ismertem sem az írónőt, sem a munkásságát, nálam a Girl in Pieces, illetve a How to Make Friends in the Dark is kimaradt。 Természetesen ezek a címek számomra is elég figyelemfelkeltőek voltak, találkoztam velük számos helyen, de mire eljutottam volna hozzájuk, mindig akadt más。Talán lehet Amikor elkezdtem olvasni Kathleen Glasgow idén szeptemberben megjelent új könyvét, egyáltalán semmi ötletem, gondolatom nem volt azzal kapcsolatban, mivel állok szemben – ugyanis a korábbiaktól eltérően én nem ismertem sem az írónőt, sem a munkásságát, nálam a Girl in Pieces, illetve a How to Make Friends in the Dark is kimaradt。 Természetesen ezek a címek számomra is elég figyelemfelkeltőek voltak, találkoztam velük számos helyen, de mire eljutottam volna hozzájuk, mindig akadt más。Talán lehet abban valami, hogy a könyv választja az olvasót, és nem fordítva, vagy abban, hogy néhány könyvet kizárólag akkor ad a kezünkbe az univerzum, és kizárólag akkor keresztezzük egymás útját, ha mindketten készen állunk。 A You'd Be Home Now könyves pályafutásom egyik legnehezebb, legfajsúlyosabb olvasmánya – és nem egyetlen dolog, a nehéz kifejezések, a még nehezebb cselekmény, a karakterek komplexitása, az életszerűség, vagy a téma érzékenysége miatt, hanem mert mindez egyszerre van jelen。 (…) Döbbenetesen nehéz, felfogni egyenlő a lehetetlennel, és az ember úgy érzi, mintha valami egyre jobban szorítaná a torkát olvasás közben。 A végén már levegőt is alig kap – és nem jó értelemben。A You'd Be Home Now mentális betegséggel, PTSD-vel, rákkal, cyberbullying-el foglalkozó YA, kamaszoknak (15+ éves kortól) erősen ajánlott, ha a fenti témákkal kapcsolatban keresnek olvasnivalót, és szeretnék jobban átlátni a saját, illetve a környezetükben levők helyzetét。 A főszereplő, Emory meséli el a teljes történetet, attól a bizonyos éjszakától kezdve, amikor ő, a testvére, és két iskolatársa autóbalesetet szenvedtek, egyikőjük pedig életét vesztette。 A cselekmény azt mutatja be, hogy milyen következményei lehetnek ennek a bizonyos éjszakának az ő, a testvérei, a szülei, az iskolatársai, a tanárai, és az egész város életére nézve。 Ugyanis az autóban ülők közül nem mindenki volt tiszta。 Sőt…https://letyourheartruleyouread。blogs。。。 。。。more

“Love Remains。 And that’s really all you can hope for, in the end。 I have to believe that。 I have to hold on to that。”Emory (Emmy) Ward has lived the life everyone else wanted for her。 She’s the boring, studious sister of the beautiful and outgoing Maddie Ward。 She is the cautious, responsible sister of the reckless stoner Joey Ward。 She is the great-great-granddaughter of the mill’s founder。 Mill Haven knows her as the obedient, reserved rich girl, but they don’t truly know her。 When Emmy and J “Love Remains。 And that’s really all you can hope for, in the end。 I have to believe that。 I have to hold on to that。”Emory (Emmy) Ward has lived the life everyone else wanted for her。 She’s the boring, studious sister of the beautiful and outgoing Maddie Ward。 She is the cautious, responsible sister of the reckless stoner Joey Ward。 She is the great-great-granddaughter of the mill’s founder。 Mill Haven knows her as the obedient, reserved rich girl, but they don’t truly know her。 When Emmy and Joey survive a car accident that kills the beloved Candy MontClaire, their lives change drastically: Joey gets sent to rehab, Emmy endures a severe knee injury, and strict rules are set in place。 Back at school, rumors spread and Emmy is an outcast, just swimming in the sea of students that not-so-silently judge her。 In the midst of finding herself and adjusting to a new normal, Emmy has to watch over Joey so he doesn’t relapse。 Emmy has to learn to stand up for herself, protect her brother, and make Mill Haven a better place。 Kathleen Glasgow knows how to tackle tough topics in her books, and You’d Be Home Now is no exception。 Being a big fan of Girl in Pieces, I was ecstatic to see which ways Glasgow would make me cry next, and cry I did。 Emmy is such a relatable character。 Throughout the whole book we are able to see just how much her situation is affecting her and how she copes with it。 Emmy takes on an immense amount of responsibility, more than she should at age sixteen。 This spoke to me because I also struggled with that when I was her age。 Not only does she deal with Joey’s drug addiction, but she comes from a dysfunctional family that forces her to conform to what everybody expects her to do — be the perfect good girl。 Emmy teaches us that even when you are at your lowest, you can still find yourself and change the path your life is on。 For an emotional and intense coming of age book, pick up You’d Be Home Now。Content Warnings: Death, addiction, drugs and alcohol, bullying, adult content, bad coping mechanisms, betrayal, hospitals, difficult family dynamics ​​(Pine Reads Review would like to thank the author and publisher for providing us with an ARC in exchange for an honest review。 Any quotes are taken from an advanced copy and may be subject to change upon final publication。)Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook @pinereadsreview and check out our website at www。pinereadsreview。com for reviews, author interviews, blogs, podcast episodes, and more! 。。。more

I found the beginning to be a bit slow but in general I love this book。 It's the first time in a long time that I was thinking about the characters when I wasn't reading, and wondered what was happening with them。 About three-quarters of the way through I couldn't put it down for a while so I then stayed up to finish it。 I found the beginning to be a bit slow but in general I love this book。 It's the first time in a long time that I was thinking about the characters when I wasn't reading, and wondered what was happening with them。 About three-quarters of the way through I couldn't put it down for a while so I then stayed up to finish it。 。。。more

this book left me speechless, i related to both Emory and Joey so much。 it perfectly shows how addiction affects not only the person but also people around that person。 i would kill for book from Joeys pov since it would show how the person themselves deal with the addiction。

What an amazingly written book about what it is like being a family member of a drug addict。 She really shows the struggles of everyone

Kathleen Glasgow is hands down one of my favorite YA authors。 The way in which she captures the myriad emotions involved in addiction, self harm, dysfunctional family situations, and more is unbelievably amazing。 I have loved every single one of her books, and she will forever be an auto read for me。 The messages in this one have me thinking a great deal about my reactions to those with addiction issues, and how I might need to rethink some of my approaches in the future。 If you haven't read any Kathleen Glasgow is hands down one of my favorite YA authors。 The way in which she captures the myriad emotions involved in addiction, self harm, dysfunctional family situations, and more is unbelievably amazing。 I have loved every single one of her books, and she will forever be an auto read for me。 The messages in this one have me thinking a great deal about my reactions to those with addiction issues, and how I might need to rethink some of my approaches in the future。 If you haven't read anything by Glasgow, pick up one of her books today (any one will do since they are all outstanding)。 。。。more

Emily Ward is sixteen years old living in a small town called Mill Haven。 She has a brother named Joey and an older sister Maddie。 Her rich workaholic parents considered Emory as their good child。 Emory and Joey, another girl, Candy and Luther is driving。 Candy asks Luther to drive slower but he doesn’t。 Why? Then the car crashes into a tree。 Candy dies in the car, Luther’s head crashes through the windshield, Joey is still “out of it” and Emory is hurt— she passes out。 She wakes up in the hospi Emily Ward is sixteen years old living in a small town called Mill Haven。 She has a brother named Joey and an older sister Maddie。 Her rich workaholic parents considered Emory as their good child。 Emory and Joey, another girl, Candy and Luther is driving。 Candy asks Luther to drive slower but he doesn’t。 Why? Then the car crashes into a tree。 Candy dies in the car, Luther’s head crashes through the windshield, Joey is still “out of it” and Emory is hurt— she passes out。 She wakes up in the hospital not understanding why she is there then she does。 Her brother was found with heroin in his blood。 He is sent to rehab。 She hears that Luther lost an eye。 When she is able to go to school, her classmates blame her for Candy dying。 She has become a pariah。 Much to her mom’s disappointment, Emory can’t go back to her extra-curriculum dance club。 Her school counselor has her join the drama club。 When Joey returns from rehab, their mom lays down very strict rules for him and makes Emory his babysitter。 Joey is not to be left alone。 If he breaks a rule, he can’t come home。 Emory has in the meanwhile been making out in the pool house with the good looking neighbor boy without telling anyone。 She then wants more from him — to go on a date, be seen with him at school。 He says no then maybe。 Will it be a yes or no?A fascinating novel that is primarily about Joey’s addiction and how it effects the family。 There is racial diversity in the novel along with a gay teacher。 Joey’s addiction isn’t who he is but the effect it has on Emory is immense。 Emory is also learning who she is which also effects the family。 I think that this is a necessary book to read so one can learn how addiction effects everyone in the family。 While this is a YA book, I think it should be a book anyone can read。 It’s an important book。Disclaimer: I received an arc of this book from the author/publisher from Netgalley。 I wasn’t obligated to write a favorable review or any review at all。 The opinions expressed are strictly my own。 。。。more

I just enjoy anything she writes! She makes any subject fun to read about even though it's a serious topic like drugs。 I tend to steer clear of books written about drugs because I just get bored, but Kathleen's writing just gets you drawn into the story like you're there with the characters caring about their family members, too。 I just enjoy anything she writes!

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it, click here。 This book。 I have so much to say about this book。 The parents in this book annoyed me。 Yes, they sent Joey to rehab, but when he came home, they were so strict and awful。 But I don't blame them for being that way。 Being the parent of someone with addiction, it's hard to know what to do。 But the thing I hated most about them is that they forced his younger sister to watch him all the time。 At school, home, work, and when she wanted to go to a dance, they made him go with her。 Addiction, no matter This book。 I have so much to say about this book。 The parents in this book annoyed me。 Yes, they sent Joey to rehab, but when he came home, they were so strict and awful。 But I don't blame them for being that way。 Being the parent of someone with addiction, it's hard to know what to do。 But the thing I hated most about them is that they forced his younger sister to watch him all the time。 At school, home, work, and when she wanted to go to a dance, they made him go with her。 Addiction, no matter what kind is hard, and I liked that it showed its effect on the family。 As someone whose brother and younger sister had a drug addiction, I felt Elizas pain and invisibility and it led her to be taken advantage of by her neighbor。 He did not want her and he knew she liked him, but because he didn't want her only what she gave him, he made her a secret。 This book pissed me off, but it was only because I could relate to it。 I have loved and related to basically all of Glasgows novels and I recommend them all the time and this one is no different。 100/10 would recommend。 。。。more

I’m a ball of emotions after this book。 Thanks you to the Author。

I was worried that I wouldn’t love this book as I love both of Glasgow’s other books。 However, I was SO wrong。 I laughed, got angry, anxious, cried, connected and felt so at peace at the end。 Such a beautiful story about addiction and how our choices, diseases effect ourselves and others around us。

This one was so hard to read。 Not because it was bad, not because it wasn't written well。 No, this was hard to read because it was so heavy。 Nothing about this was pretty, it wasn't even particularly hopeful。 It didn't shy away from the dark parts of life, and I loved it for that。 My favorite thing about this was definitely the characters。 They were flawed, yet you couldn't help but root for them to succeed。 Their flaws made them more, and it was beautiful to watch them grow。 What was even more This one was so hard to read。 Not because it was bad, not because it wasn't written well。 No, this was hard to read because it was so heavy。 Nothing about this was pretty, it wasn't even particularly hopeful。 It didn't shy away from the dark parts of life, and I loved it for that。 My favorite thing about this was definitely the characters。 They were flawed, yet you couldn't help but root for them to succeed。 Their flaws made them more, and it was beautiful to watch them grow。 What was even more beautiful was the depth every character had。 Not just Joey and Emory, every single character was developed。 Liza, Daniel, Gabe, every one of them touched my heart in some way。 This is something few books achieve, and a sign of a truly great book。 This one definitely comes with a hefty dose of trigger warnings, but I'd still recommend it。 It was real, and I really enjoyed it Thanks to Netgalley for providing a free copy in exchange for an honest review! 。。。more

absolutely disappointed by this book。 i found the descriptions poor。 it is also maybe because i was addicted to drugs, i know the experience is different for everyone, but this was just too cliché。 the mom made it so hard to read。 i really cannot。
