No Turning Back (Full Circle #1 by Casey Peeler @AuthorCasey #review @wrnmk_

Why not start on what I really liked. I am a Brooklyn born blogger, so in other words, I know nothing about country music or talk. I loved the southern innuendo and phrases! The music and mentions of the ringtones were equally appealing. Charley was in a long term typical teen relationship with the all around seemingly perfect Dylan. OK so he is a little bit of a bad boy, but she is happy and still “pure”. There is a party and sadly Dylan does the unspeakable. Along comes long time friend Cash to clean up. I won’t give any spoilers, but Charley handles things HER way, so for that I admire the author. I think she took an unorthodox way of handling something and wrote it out.

This is where there is a little disconnect. I think Cash should have been brought up or mentioned before this tragic incident. It seems like he is brought in without any prior mentions and he could have been a big rival for Charely’s heart. They have known each other since they were 4 years old. So after this incident, Charley lags and finally makes a college choice. So in rush mode putting the past where it belongs, she leaves Grassy Pond. Seriously how cute is the name Grassy Pond? I loved it.

At Southern College, she really comes into her own. It is amazing how she bounced back and accepts some friends. Of course it doesnt last when Cash walks back into her life.

It is SO worth the trip to Southern and Grassy Pond! I say it may not be perfect, but I really enjoyed it! I thought Charley dealt with her issues in her own way and for that the author deserves a pat on the back. Not everyone crawls into a hole or goes wild. Charley did it her way!

How will her first semester of college end? Seriously read it

Her perfect day consists of water, sand between her toes, a cold beverage, and a great book!
