4.5 STARSAAHHH I LOVED THIS SO FRIGGIN' MUCHAlso, I'm crying. I don't know if it's a happy cry or sad cry, but I am crying.I'll probably write a review when the level of my adrenaline has lowered and I'm not sobbing like a crazy anymore.*************Storytime:My best friend gave me this book as a birthday present and I asked her out of curiosity why this book in particular (because it was already in my tbr but I never told her about it) so she said: ''Easy, I know your favorite genre is young ad...
”My life has collapsed to the point where a ninety-nine-cent cup of coffee with a stranger is meaningful.”I have never read a novel with a more appropriate title. Because I can’t tell you why or how, if you ask me, but I am really impressed by this book... So call it what you want, this gets five stars from me.RTC
Five million, billion, gazillion oh who counts I already ordered the entire milky way from my Amazon account to send directly to the publishing company and changed the name of it as “Brigid’s way” The book is named “Call It What You Want”I called it: “Unique”, “emotionally overwhelming”, “heart wrenching”, “provoking”, “strong”, “powerful” , “realistic” , “dysfunctional” , “raging”, “sad” , “wake-up call” , “depressive”, “questioning”, “tearful”, “challenging” and finally “so much beautiful”Beca...
I do not want to review this all that much, so I am going to treat myself to writing a couple sentences and moving ON. Positive vibes ONLY. Negative reviews are so YESTERDAY. (Just kidding. Can you imagine? I’d have to just...stop writing reviews altogether. And we all know I’m addicted to the fame and fortune.)If you want more of me writing about a Brigid Kemmerer book I did not care for, you can read this. Or this.We’re not on awesome terms, to be honest.I thought these characters were so inco...
Brigid Kemmerer’s books always look so cute on the outside but always manage to pull my heart out! 💖 “One choice doesn’t determine your whole future.” Not quite up there with Letters to the Lost, but just as wholesome and full of feeling as I could have asked for 😊Rob is a social pariah. After his dad was found embezzling money - most of which came from his neighbours savings, he tries to kill himself. Rob and his mum are left dealing with the aftermath, where no one will speak to him at school...
[4.5🌟] I’m gonna need Brigid Kemmerer to never stop writing her contemporaries. Her stories fill my soul right up. They’re always so intense, so heart-aching, with such wonderfully flawed and beautiful characters that are alive on those pages. She has a knack for writing stories that centre around broken teens coming from broken homes and having the readers follow them on their journey. What I like is that by the end of it, these characters aren’t healed. But they are on their way to carving the...
4 stars Brigid Kemmerer is quickly becoming one of my favorite YA authors. Her books have important and powerful story-lines and give me so many feels. Call It What You Want is a book about two characters are seniors in high school and both have had a life changing experience. Maegan made a mistake and it's followed her around ever since. Not only that, she's carrying around a secret of her sisters. Rob's father got caught doing something illegal and he's carried that stain ever since, along...
Rob, a once-popular high school lacrosse player, has fallen from grace, but not because of anything HE did.His father, a local Financial Planner, was caught red-handed swindling from clients. Everyone in town mistakenly believes that Rob knew. Even though he interned at his father's office, Rob swears he had no knowledge of the illegal activities.As everything is taken from his family, Rob's father attempts suicide, leaving him in a partially vegetative state. As if this weren't bad enough, Rob
I loved Letters To The Lost and More Than We Can Tell more than this but not by a lot. This was incredible. Brigid is able to create the most tragic, heart wrenching and moving stories with characters I need more from and romances that are SO SWEET and I need more of that too. Ug. I love this author's contemporaries. Minor complaint - I wish she took her time more with the ending, it felt rushed. But man. I want more of this book. It was incredible
"But sometimes I think everyone needs to take a long look in the mirror before they go main an issue about someone else's life."Rating: 4.5/5 starstw: suicide attempt, talk of abortion, bullyingHands down, this is my favorite Brigid Kemmerer book so far! Her contemporary novels feed my soul every damn time. And I should have known that this would be the cure to my reading slump, considering I was hooked on this story by page five. Kemmerer has a way with words that makes her books almost impossi...
SO FREAKING GOOD. Brigid writes with so much heart, and I just love every single book she writes.
the other day, i took a break from reading this to go run some errands. and as i was in the produce section, looking at the bananas, all i could think was 'maegan and rob better live happily ever after or, so help me, someone will hear about it.' if a book that prompts that kind of angst doesnt deserve five stars, then i dont know what does. i think this story tackles really important topics for teens, such as loneliness, taking on/feeling the burdens of your parents, the cost of a mistake, and
Rob and Maegan's story is out in the world today, friends! The idea for this book started when I said to myself, "What if I took Robin Hood ... and put him in a modern day high school?" I hope you love the story, and I can't wait to hear what you think. Thank you all so much for being a part of my dream.
Edit: I was lucky enough to meet Brigid at a local singing!⬆ aww look at me being an awkward sausageMany thanks to Bloomsbury for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review| Goodreads | Blog | Pinterest | LinkedIn | YouTube | Instagram
“I’m not lost. I want to do the right thing.”“Most of us do,” she says ruefully. “The problem is that it doesn’t always look the same for all of us”My love for Brigid Kemmerer grows and grows with every book of hers that I read. Her books are addictive and her characters are precious ✨ This book was basically like a modern day retelling of Robin Hood. A big theme of this story was ‘what is right and wrong’. And it was something that I haven't read about for a long time in YA. “You don’t get t...
book #6 for summerathon, under the challenge of: "a beachy read" ✓brigid kemmerer knew that i hadn't cried from a book in a while and she was like 'lol bish just wait till you see what i have planned for you'can anyone else write sad, soft, emo boys like her?? the only correct answer is nortc also this is a buddy read with my little bird
Call It What You Want is a heartfelt story about two teenagers struggling through a hard family life after being near isolated by their classmates. The author does a fantastic job of presenting hard topics and moral quandaries that demonstrate how the world is not black and white, but all shades of grey. The characters are forced into tough decisions that begs the age old question, is it okay to do something wrong for the right reasons?This book showed how easy it is to misunderstand a person or...
My brain clicks, and for an instant, he’s not Rob Lachlan now, he’s Rob Lachlan from a year ago. We were from two different words once: popular boy and nerdy girl. We’re still from two different worlds: cop’s daughter and criminal’s son. I enjoyed some parts of this book but the rest was a bit boring. I probably would have dnfed it if I hadn’t received an arc via Netgalley, and I’m grateful because I would have missed so many good parts otherwise, but I’m also not. Can you see the dilemma?The
**ARC sent to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review**I won’t lie to you guys-I begged for this book. It wasn’t classy. It wasn’t dignified. And it was honestly a bit pathetic-but IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH IT. This book? It’s gold. I loved every minute of it. I was sitting in Tennessee, on vacation, and legitimately had zero time to read. My daughter has always been a peculiar sleeper, and the circumstances of our vacation led to my husband and I’s sanity to be tested. She’s turning two...
I HAVE NEVER READ A BOOK SO FAST!I feel like she is one of those authors that never disappoints and I absolutely love her books. I dont love comtemporary that much but her book always always makes me swoon and smile and happy. Call it what you want was really really good. And i was praying to book Gods to give Rob and Magean a happy ending!!!Because taylor swift? Anyone? No? Okay😂💁🏻♀️
