My Review:

I’m a sucker for male and females being friends in books, especially with the possibilities of it turning into more. So, when I decided to read and review this book, I was really excited. However, this book was not what I expected…

The beginning was really good and I liked the fact that Sophia (love that name) was seeking help for all her issues, past and current. She seemed like a really bright girl and I liked her a lot. As for her boyfriend Kyle, he’s nothing but a jerk and is mentally, physically and sexually abusive to her. It broke my heart to read such a nice girl be hurt like that.

And then came Adam to save the day. I wondered where he’d been and what he’d been up to for the past four years, but it’s not really mentioned. I really liked the way his character was really a hero. There seemed to be a mystery about him that reminded me of the Edward Cullen from the “Twilight” series. While we know there was an accident that he was involved in (and I think her mother too), I wasn’t really sure about it, but I’m thinking that in S. Moose’s next book (yes, there’s a next book) we’ll find out more. Thank goodness!

There were parts where the abuse got to me a little too much, and some words and feelings were overused, but it made me wonder if I would do and say the same things if I were in Sophia’s place. With all the twists, turns, and heartbreak that this was in this book that I couldn’t stop reading because I had to know what happened next.

For writing a debut novel like this, S. Moose is brave, but I love that she took the chance because I got really invested in these characters, especially Sophia’s, who I probably won’t forget.

I give “Reaching Out For You” 4 stars!
