I loved everything about this book and obviously the fact that I couldn't stop reading until I finished proves it.
Full review to come.

While reading this book, I was actually shocked and sympathetic of the Marines serving in countries such as Afghanistan. The reality hit me, of the effects of war, in these modern times. There are families out there who are affected as well - the families of those in the military. Josh Mitchell's story is raw and heartbreaking, and the former popular guy with all the ladies come home after serving for a few years with trauma from the war and a prosthetic leg. He reconnects with Skylar Evans, the quintessential good girl who will be going off to college, and they bonded over their urge to leave the trailer park community of Creek View. Little did they know that they would end up falling for each other, making them rethinking their plans. This is a beautiful story of companionship, telling us that what these Marines, with their future ahead of them, needed friendship and support most of all from the terrors of war.

I really liked this book and I thought the story was quite nice and cute, but I felt like I just missed something. I can't say exactly what, but the book just didn't wow me like I expected it too. I also found the concept of the girl wanting to leave her very boring hometown and to start a new life quite typical. I'll meet you there was a very enjoyable read and a pretty solid ya contemporary but it's not like it will stay with me for that long.

I really enjoyed this book. It was very real, in a setting that isn't really touched upon but wasn't forced and didn't feel fake. I admire Skylers journey and all the things she had to overcome and figure out in the story. Josh's viewpoint was also very very real, portraying post war ptsd without it seeming synthetic or forced. Overall a great read!

4.5 stars. I don't really know what to say other than I didn't want to put this down, loved the realism and the characters and the setting and the grittiness. Probably read it too quickly for it to stick, but we'll see.
