TIM. RIGGINS.
This is the only "review" I put up on Goodreads directly after finishing and felt it was appropriate to keep at the beginning of my actual review because, well... TIM RIGGINS.
Fact of the matter is, Rusty is a direct correlation with one of the best (hottest? I don't say that much) characters from the best television show ever made. If you haven't caught on, that character is Tim Riggins, football bad boy from Friday Night Lights.

The Writing: I know I said this about Kirby's first novel Moonglass, but it must be stated again: She is a great writer plain and simple! I say this after just finishing another book that I would consider a great story but the author seemed "new"- to use a word that expresses the same effort that they had put into their writing. The dialog felt dry and full of exposition, there was no feeling of getting lost in a scene and I felt as if I was actually standing over the authors shou

I read the blurb of In Honor and had to read it. I contacted the author who directed me to her publicist who sent me the link for the galley grab. It took a while for me to actually get the link to work but eventually it did. Anyway, I loaded it up and intended to make a start on the first chapter or two then go back to my current eBook. I didn't. I ended up staying up till after midnight and finished In Honor in one sitting.

I loved Jessi's debut, Moonglass, and let me say, In Honor does not disappoint. Once again, she's got absolutely stellar characters that you will fall in love with. With the perfect blend of grief and fun, this book is one of those that is emotional without being a constant kick in the gut, yet gets all the points across. I loved Honor's character, from the rough truths she has to face to watching her try to figure out what to do now that her brother, and the main person to really be there for a

Jessi Kirby's debut, Moonglass, was one of my favorite books of 2011, so I was thrilled when I got an ARC of In Honor in the mail- and devoured it right away. I was crying within the first couple of pages and by the end of the book I had felt a roller coaster of emotions. In Honor was another wonderful contemporary novel by Jessi Kirby that tugged at my heartstrings, yet also made me laugh. I cannot recommend Jessi's books enough and I highly recommend picking this up come spring.

Someone just steal MY idea of the PERFECT book!
And wrote it and published it.
And it's gonna be in my hands in May next year (or sooner if I manage to get an ARC, I'm ready to sell my kidney!)

Kirby's debut novel, Moonglass, was chosen as a New Voices pick, her second novel is just as lovely! A bittersweet story about loss and new beginnings, readers will root for Honor. Sarah Dessen and Gayle Forman fans should keep an eye out for Jessi Kirby!

Ooh! This book sounds really interesting! But where's Jessi Kirby going to go with it? The angsty route (dead brother) , or the funny one (brother had a celeb crush)?
Can't wait!

3.5 stars. Realistic and poignant, although the ending stretched belief a bit.

Sarah Ockler raved about this book, so I'm upgrading it from my "Maybe" shelf to "To Read."
