Anywhere is Available!
I really enjoyed the freshness of this book. I will say the beginning is a little scattered. I think if I would have known why these two girls took off and the back story before they were in another country it would have jelled. Sounds like I am complaining right? Well no I liked it. It just shows I have a small little thorn in my butt that is all. I enjoyed how the author wrote a character who is strong, albeit a little late or cutting it close to being late, she went with her heart. Taking off for an escape was a great adventure, while it lasted.
The main character Skye, like I said she had a change of heart and for that I am thankful. She has Paige who is her best friend. They really enjoy spreading their wings and learning what it is like to be free. Sadly, Skye is left with her dilemma and mentally takes makes a checklist of things she he wants to do and see.
There is a moral to the story. I think it has a few great messages. The first big one for me was “IT is OK to walk away”. I am glad Skye grew her wings and had the chance to meet Asher. He had a story, and before you ask he has a moral to his story too. I wont give away one of his reveals, but it shows you life is too short. Together they sort of make up their itinerary with some new friends after a chance meeting on a train.
The story really took off for me about 35-40% and I finished it right away. It was one of those “oh my, I need to finish this now” sort of moments. In the end things were wrapped up. AHHHH no cliff hanger, no unresolved issues, no catastrophe in book 2. How refreshing is that?
