I fell in love with Graham in Between the Lines. He was hard not to love. I even liked the "bad boy" image of Reid even though he was so not right for Emma. She wasn't "the one" to make the "bad boy" come to heel. Where You Are wraps up the story between the Emma, Graham, Reid and Brooke. From the sneak peek you get of the next one in this series it looks like Reid is going to meet his match.

I am not liking this book. As usual, I have problem finding good YA authors. I read Miss Webber book before and I am surprise Where You Are does not work for me

I guess my main issue it Graham. He is pasif hero. He is lack of ambitious. And Emma is just.... all over the place. I am surprise that Reed still making appearances in this book. I thought the story woul be focus on Graham and Emma.

Overall this book is disappointment.

This se School Pride has wrapped up, nothing left for the cast to do but some promotional events and interviews, and of course, the premiere. So Emma Pierce, soon to be star, has been back home, trying her hardest to live that "normal" life that seems so appealing and yet elusive. At the urging of her bff Emily, she's even dating a regular boy, albeit somewhat unenthusiastically, and trying to put the emotional uproar of the past few months behind her. And then she meets Graham Douglas again ...

This sequel to Between the Lines picks up where that one ended, the morning after Emma and Graham's chance encounter at the coffee shop. As they come to recognize and acknowledge the depth and intensity of their feelings for each other, they have to deal with the obstacles of a long distance relationship, their own somewhat reticent natures and history, and, more dramatically, the attention and nefarious intentions of Brooke and Reid, who aren't finished with them yet. Brooke's plan to nab Graham for herself, with the assistance of Reid, who she enlists in her scheme with the promise that he can pick up the pieces of Emma when she prevails, is the main story line, and it is one that will keep you reading, biting your nails, and cursing that bitchy, brittle and broken Brooke, well beyond the time you promised you'd turn out the lights, stop reading and try to get some sleep before work in the am. Good luck with that, my friend, it won't be easy!

This one is told in four shifting POV's - Emma, Graham, Brooke and Reid. This is a relief, after the opacity of Graham's thought processes in BTL. It retains the closeness we feel to Emma and Graham, and continues to hold out the tantalizing possiblity that there's more to Reid than he lets on. Brooke's point of view, while revealing the world of hurt she's coming from, doesn't (for me at least) make her a whole lot more sympathetic or relatable. Maybe the subtitle of this should be "Hoping for Brooke's Comeuppance," because I spent a good part of the book wishing for that! But, back to POV's. While the first book felt to me like it was Emma's story, this one feels like it's Graham's turn. We come to understand the basis for his hands-off, non-possessive attitude (whether we like it or not, or feel like yelling "Use your powers, Superman!," as he hurtles ever closer to the ground). And learning his history and spending more time with Cara and his family is really enjoyable, too.

The story of this one is fun, despite the almost overwhelming tension created by the machinations of the two antagonists, but again for me, there's an elusive something beyond the plot, characters and setting that makes these books special. Tammara's writing is seductive and immersive - you're reading along in the regular way, and suddenly realize that you've been drawn into her world so deeply that hours have passed, you're hungry, and that bathroom break you've been postponing is long overdue, and still you don't want to stop! It's a kind of dreamy but vivid style that I wish I were astute enough to analyze, but prefer to just enjoy.

There are three teaser chapters for the next book, Good For You, included, and they promise a different direction, focusing on Reid this time, as he meets someone different than the actresses and society girls he usually hangs with. The suggestion of sparks between them makes me look forward to this one, as much as I anticipated Where You Are.

So, just to be perfectly clear, I loved this book, the characters, the story, the writing and look forward to enjoy Tammara's exploration of this lovingly and richly imagined foursome. Could there be someone who can heal Brooke's hurts? Or is she so bereft of the capacity for real love that she'll have to just make her own way in the world, without the tender touch of Tammara's obvious affection for her little cast? Time will tell, but I, for one, would love to read about it!

I'll begin by stating that I enjoyed this book more than the first one. If you haven't read book one than you might not want to read this review.

The story picks up right where book one left off. Instead of two POVs like in the first one this book has four POVs intertwined throughout it.

I personally hate love triangles and this book takes it one step more by creating a love square.

In this book we have 4 different POV’s and she pulled it off again…very impressive!!

For no particular reason I decided to start Between the Lines in audio format. After loving it so much, Tammara offered to send me audio copies of the next two books, and I was beyond excited! My blogging was put on hold for a few months earlier this year due to illness, so once I got back into audiobooks I jumped on this one. I had fallen in love with Graham in Between the Lines, and I was SO eager to get his side of things in this one.

The alternating POV’s was a bit much at first, but I found myself really enjoying getting all 4 sides. Of course we had Graham, *sigh*, who still my favorite of the group. He’s so sweet and caring, yet fun and entertaining too. Emma and Graham really bring out the best in each other, and I loved to watch their relationship begin. Then we have Reid, who is… well, Reid. He’s conceited and pompous, though also has a softer, sensitive side that tends to come out when he least expects it. Brooke is the final POV in this story, and she’s definitely an awesome addition to the story. She’s the snarky, bitchy, controlling girly girl that we all love to hate. And hate her we do. :) This group of characters makes for one fun story!

I absolutely love when audiobooks have both a female and male narrator. For this book especially, with 4 alternating POVs, it was even more awesome (and almost necessary) to keep all characters straight. The voices Todd used for Graham and Reid were perfect. I was able to tell who was talking at all times, solely on the way they sounded. The personality and attitude he portrayed in each guy was EXACTLY how I imagined them being. It’s so great listening to an audio when the narrator is perfect. Kate was just as fantastic with Emma and Brooke. Emma always sounded more sweet, down to earth, and real. Brooke was the total cheerleader, materialistic pretty girl type, and I loved the way Kate brought her to life.

Tammara, you’ve done it again! I think overall I liked Where You Are even more than I liked Between the Lines, if that’s even possible. Which means my expectations for Good For You are pretty darn high! And since I have the audio waiting for me, I WILL be listening to it very soon. Another awesome book in a series that’s proven to be loads of fun, and continues to be one of my all-time favorites. :)

(Thanks to Tammara Webber for the audiobook review copy!)

Well, I waited for this to come out….really waited for it. And alas, I was a little bit disappointed after reading it. Don’t get me wrong, I truly loved the first book…really really loved it. And I was really happy knowing that a second book would be out with Graham and Emma’s story (at last). So, here are the reasons why I didn’t find it phenomenal as the first one:

And I was really happy knowing that a second book would be out with Graham and Emma’s story (at last). So, here are the reasons why I didn’t find it phenomenal as the first one:

1. There were a lot of POVs going on, Graham/Emma/Reid/Brooke. But I guess the author has to do it since the story revolves around the four. But in my opinion 2 POVs would have to do (it’s just me).
2. The story was just so-so. It didn’t appeal to me. It was predictable. It just bored me a little.
3. The characters:

GRAHAM: Since book one I loved the guy. I was rooting for him to end up with Emma. And boy, I’m glad he did. Well, the bad boy always gets the girl in the stories right? So, I was happy that the underdog finally gets the girl. But in this book I kinda find Graham boring and a lil bit mushy. And another, he kinda acted a stupid in the story. Towards the end of the story I lost interest in him. I don’t know he wasn’t as exciting as I find him in the first book.
EMMA: Like Graham, she acted stupid in this one. A lot of times I want to smack her head and say: “Girl, use your brain damn it!” ‘Nuff said….
BROOKE: I love hating her in this one….she really is a good antagonist/villain/manipulator/bitch. I actually like how her character was written in this book.
REID: Well…I was shocked that I liked him more than Graham in this one. Yes, I know he’s the bad guy. But he redeemed himself towards the end. And hey, he was not into Brooke’s plan all the way.

So the conclusion, should you still read it or not? In fairness, I think you still have to. We’ve got different opinions on book anyway. I might hate it but others might like it or vice versa. But I was still hoping for a more climactic events happening here and I just didn’t find it. But will I still read the third book? Hell yeah! After all I liked Reid in this one and the third book is all about Reid….actually I thought he and Brooke would end up in this one. But I guess it didn’t happen as we see in the third book that he finds a new girl.

I loved this book and love the way that Graham is such a sweet heart. When he loves he loves with all of himself. Emma did herself right by not sleeping with anyone till she was in love.

I'm so glad that Reid didn't end up,with Emma in this book because once he got her I'm sure he wouldn't be interested anymore. He would feel like he won the conquest.
What I am glad is that Reid is actually a good guy who actually cares for Emma in this book.

This time around I was so irritated with all of the characters that I could barely stomach it. Graham and Emma are clueless. Reid is mostly awful, but he partially redeems himself at the end.

And Brooke is AWFUL. I hated being inside her awful head during this book. But I'll keep my rating the same in deference to my experience when I first read it. The narration of this story was grating. Todd Haberkorn's narration of Graham's point of view was hard to endure at first. He was way too whiny and nasally. His Reid narration was a bit better, but not great. But after awhile I got used to him enough to make it to the end of the story. I wish that this could have been a book completely focused on Emma and Graham since they seem to be genuinely good people. Adding the drama of Reid and Brooke made this hard to bear. I get that they were needed for the drama of the story, but I would have rather had their points of view removed. But I'll keep my four star review because I did enjoy this a few years ago, and I do love that Graham and Emma get their chance at a Happily Ever After.

I have to admit ... I was furious for almost two-thirds of the time while I read Where You Are, book two in the Between the Lines series by Tammara Webber. I was so, so angry! There were times when I was sure that fire was going to come shooting out of my ears. I don't think I have read a book in awhile that evoked such raw anger in me. So that means it must have been a horrible book, right? No. In fact, I really enjoyed this book a lot. I loved the characters and some of the themes that came out through the action of the plot. As I have found in all of the books I have read that Webber has written, there is a story full of rich characters who are deeper than they might appear on the surface. The characters that are best still have their own personal flaws, and even the most wretched of characters have insecurities and difficulties that make them interesting -- even if I still hate them for their actions.

So what happened in this book to cause my blood to boil? Well, in Between the Lines Emma and Graham finally confess their feelings for one another, and everything appears to be headed for a strong happily ever after. But two characters in that book did not get their HEA when Graham and Emma got together -- Reid and Brooke. In Where You Are they decide to do something about it. Well, actually Brooke decides to do something about it, and she needs Reid's assistance to make her evil plan work. The two of them plan to create seeds of doubt in the minds of Graham and Emma, leading them to believe that there is some sort of infidelity going on, and causing them to run into the waiting arms that Brooke and Reid are providing. Ohhhhh this plan! Oh how I hated Brooke for all of her conniving! Emma and Graham are such good, nice people, and they are so good for each other. Neither one of them deserve what Brooke and Reid put them through, and all of it is done simply because Reid hates to ever be rejected and Brooke believes that she is the one who should be with Graham. It seemed so unnecessarily cruel. So I was ticked off for so much of this book as Brooke began each stage of her plan to get Graham for herself. And, goodness, Graham could be so obtuse about her actions sometimes. How couldn't he see what was going on? But I figured that it was just one more example of his kind and trusting nature, never thinking that a close friend of his could be so cruel, so I automatically forgave him for his obtuseness. Still, I wished so often that he could open his eyes a bit more and see what Brooke was doing.

But I have to say that one of the things that made this a great book and not one that I ended up hating was how Brooke was written as a character. It would have been so easy to hate this shallow, conniving, hateful, spiteful, uncaring character. And I did hate her in so many ways. But Webber was able to write her in such a way that I could see all of the events of her life that created the young adult she had become. There was a vulnerable woman underneath all of her hateful actions. She really did care for Graham, the one guy who saw beyond her witchy exterior to see that vulnerable woman inside. She had a lifetime of experiences that left her with little faith in the motivations of men. She really was a mess. And Graham seemed to be the one guy who could get her through the mess her personal life could be. But instead of valuing that friendship she threw it all away in order to manipulate him into a relationship. So was I mad at her? Yes. But by the end of the book all I could feel was sorry for who she was as a person. What a lonely, miserable way to live out your life, even if you are a semi-famous celebrity.

And Reid. What an interesting character! He could be conniving as well, and so many of his actions were just bone-headed, to say the least. But underneath every action it was obvious that Reid had a bit deeper feelings for Emma than he gave himself credit for. And those deeper feelings tapped into a nobler side of Reid's personality that kept him from seeming as depraved as Brooke did. Don't get me wrong. I was not rooting for him at all during this book. But I was able to see that underneath the ego of the superstar was a young man who had the ability to love. He's not there yet. He is still in the midst of potentially tragic consequences for his actions. But there is potential. Emma sees that potential. That potential is what is driving me to start book three right away so that I can see Reid emerge as a better person. And his actions at the end of the book with Emma? That is the Reid I'm excited to discover in the next book!

But ultimately I love this book because of Emma and Graham. I have rooted for them from the beginning of this series. In the midst of such an untethered existence as is found in the world of movie making, it was nice to see two characters who rose above their circumstances to be nice. Simply nice. They deserved to be with one another. They were great friends, and they are great now that they are more than friends. This book was definitely a rough spot for their relationship, but in the middle of all of the Brooke-manufactured drama the two of them were able to tap into their inner strength and make their relationship work. Hurray for that! I absolutely LOVED Graham. You know, he didn't really have tons of swoon-worthy lines like so many romantic leads in YA books have. But his actions were what helped him to rise above others as a romantic lead. He was just so good. Good to Emma. Good to Brooke. Good to his family. Good to his daughter, Cara. I couldn't help but hope for the best for him.

Despite my anger throughout the book I still found this book to be a satisfying addition to the Between the Lines universe. Tammara Webber is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors of this genre. Four stars! ...more

But this pissed off has regularly been directed at this book. The question begs, am I pissed off in general and I'm placing blame on the book, OR is this book causing me to be pissed off en masse? I honestly think it's the latter. I base my belief off the fact that I'm not an angry person, usually. I am regularly accused of being too passive by my nearest and dearest, and my patience and acceptance for people is constantly called in to question as being one of my flaws. This can only leave me with the thought that it has to be this book!

I'm going to make a list, (I love lists)...

1. I think it's unrealistic to assume that beta-men don't get jealous. Everyone gets jealous. For us to have a window seat into Graham's thought process and not see him battle these 'caveman' would make him boring. I mean, how interesting is this person, "Reid is hanging all over her, touching her inappropriately and trying to drive a wedge between us (more on this in a moment), but it doesn't bother me at all. I'm just going to stand here and let bulldozer Alexander plow right over me because I'm a beta and not supposed to show aggression." Okay, I don't like that guy at all, the big sissy. Now, for me, his thoughts about how he's jealous and wants to knock Reids teeth down his throat was entirely understandable. He's a Beta-man because he has these thoughts and doesn't act on them. This is realistic. I'm a beta female, and trust me, I have those thoughts, so would someone just put this kid out of his misery, stat?

2. Reid - I hate this dude, I totally do! He's an ass! So why am I constantly agreeing with him in round 2? When he leans over and tells Emma that if he were Graham he wouldn't have been so noble. He would never have stepped aside, he would have fought for Emma with everything... damn if I didn't agree! Maybe this is because I'm a beta-girl who loves her alpha-men (with a few exceptions like Matt and Seth), but damn if I wasn't sitting there going 'hell yes! you fight for who you want!'. And I DO not want to agree with Reid about anything, at least not at this time.

3. Goodness Brooke, you can look at regular girls and think about how they're pathetic because if a guy wasn't interested before, they're not likely to become interested now but you still can not see how that is YOU! For such an 'it' girl, you really are just a big ole joke. I can't wait for you to get what's coming to you, WAY more then Reid. And to think, I actually kinda liked you in the first book.

4. Last one, swear; Why are Graham and Emma so stupid? Why is it that neither one of them can see that they're victims. They are completely being played for fools and both of them are so flipping blind. For pete's friggin sake, Graham is one smart beta-man so how did he not see right through (view spoiler) I mean, this is not a mastermind here. It couldn't be more obvious! But Emma and Graham just eat it up, not picking up on ANY clues. I would have much preferred if someone figured it out before the last 15% of the book (which is where I'm at right now) and confronted them for being manipulative little biotchs. It's just all so transparent.

In closing, am I loving this book? It's hard to tell. Right now I want to say I hate it, but in that really good way. This author is conducting my emotions like a symphony, and in the heat of the moment I want to drop kick these guys and be done. Except, i think that when my thoughts have settled down and I'm able to think about this book in hindsight I'm going to see how engaging this story was. How else could I have been so affected by it. I'm definitely not going to forget this book, that's for gosh darn sure.

I'm not sure how some of you GR friends can read these drama filled books back to back, I feel like I'm going to have heart failure... I hope getting this all out has brought me some serenity...

Let me just start by saying, I adore Tammara Webber's writing. I love how she can go from something completely heartbreaking and angst filled with Easy, and then turn around and give us sweet and happy and fluff. The Between the Lines series is just that, pure fluff and I love it.

I love how she can go from something completely heartbreaking and angst filled with Easy, and then turn around and give us sweet and happy and fluff. The Between the Lines series is just that, pure fluff and I love it.

In the first book we are introduced to the main players: Reid, Emma, Graham, and Brooke. All four come together while filming a movie. Reid is Hollywoods It boy, Emma is the newcomer, Graham is the indie actor, and Brooke is the, well, the stuck-up Hollywood starlet who went from star to sidekick.

In Where You Are, Graham and Emma are working at keeping their relationship alive (and secret) from the public. The problem? Brooke has suddenly decided that Graham, her longtime bestfriend would be perfect for her. She enlists the help of Reid to break the two of them up, playing on Reid's inability to say no to rejection.

Graham and Emma's relationship is sweet, like toothache sweet. Towards the beginning, it was a little too much. I was like, no one is this perfect. But towards the end when all the drama was unleashed, I came to really love their relationship with each other.

Reid still remains my favorite character in the series. He's such an ass, but I love him. Reading his POV is hilarious. Also, I think he may be the character with the most depth. Weird, I know. But he's the only character who really goes through changes and grows as each book progresses. I feel so bad for him and just want him to have someone who can see what a great guy he is underneath the exterior.

Brooke needs to take a long walk off a short pier. I feel no sympathy for her. She's conniving liar who throws a fit when things don't go her way. I'm sorry Princess, but you can't just wake up and decide someone is perfect for you AFTER you see that person happy with someone else. She uses everyone around her. No wonder she has no real friends, she's completely fake with everyone. It's going to take something major happening for her to ever be in my good graces.

This series is the perfect read if you just want something fun. I cannot wait to read the third one!

Book opens up to Graham's POV? Um, yes please! Do you know how refreshing it was to open the book to find my guy Graham? So very refreshing. And to get a little deeper into that head of his was even more so. Oh how I love this guy. With this book we get so much more of him and it is why it is so far my favorite of the series.

I was definitely not happy to see Reid make a reappearance or Brooke for that matter. Lord help me those two are made for each other and need to leave Emma and Graham alone Book opens up to Graham's POV? Um, yes please!

I was definitely not happy to see Reid make a reappearance or Brooke for that matter. Lord help me those two are made for each other and need to leave Emma and Graham alone. Every single time one of them would showcase their POV I was ready to hurl. By the end of the book I was ready to b-slap them both because I was so over them.

Ok back to the beginning. Emma and Graham had just realized they both had feelings for each other when BETWEEN THE LINES ended. And boy I couldn't be happier. Together they will be happy...together they will make cute babies. Yeah, I know. These are fictional character we are talking about but I can dream right? And I know that all relationships are going to be put through the wringer before they can get their happily ever after. And these two are no different. In fact, I think they have it rougher than some other characters I have read about. They have a lot of obstacles in their way of that happily ever after. And the forces that are coming at them to break them up are a pair I hope I never cross paths with. Such evil intent.; such malicious ways.

Emotional drama plagues this book to the fullest. Oh.My.Gosh does it ever. The trouble and drama that Graham and Emma go through just proves that they are not meant for the limelight. They need to stick to the Indie flicks and stage shows if they are going to fall prey to every little rumor they hear or see. You'd think they would have gotten a clue from the very start of Brooke and Reid's devious plans. I mean, the plans are grade school at best. Very immature and hard to overlook. But I guess some people are more trusting and are easier to fool than others.

Not sure I will continue on with GOOD FOR YOU, only because it is Reid's story. I have never liked him and don't care to start anytime soon. Yeah I am sure he will redeem himself but I might have to wait for another day before I let it happen. But I do recommend this one only for the mere fact there is so much Graham and the story is so good. So please pick it up today. Enjoy!

I'm still recovering over the happy end :) I liked this book more than the first one. Tammara Webber managed to create a realistic (as much as I'd love to deny there aren't persons like Brooke or similar situations) world.

I hate and despise Brooke. All her plotting was unbereable and just... bad. Pure evil from my POV. That girl's got some serious issues.

Graham was beyond amazing! I loved him and Emma! <3 Their relationship had me hooked and whipped like a little girl since the ending from Between the Lines. Talk about true chemistry, not some School Pride invention. His love for Emma is swoon-worthy and his intense feelings are gut-wrenching. I absolutely adore this character.

Emma somehow evolved as a character and I couldn't help but feel sorry for what she had to go through, because she's basically a very good person. Her insecureness was expected and made a very good number of confusing her: Graham, the boy that seems too perfect for her, or Reid, the walking one night-stand from Hollywood? Don't panick now; this question will be answered nice and slowly, with the help of some long unsuccessful scheming (Hell yeah!!! Buuu, Brooke!)

Now Reid is definitely my problem. I'm conflicted and torn between giving him the silence treatment for agreeing to the whole plotting thing with Brooke or another chance after everything he's been through. I have to admit, at nineteen years old, he's just messed up. Very messed up. After his family relationship, after his break up with Brooke (btw, I blame Brooke for that conclusion and she's officially the Bitch Queen in town) and after everything else that add up. But I know there are better things in him. Hopefully, the third book from this series will wrap him in some pink joy aura too, 'cause he deserves it. Guess I'll have to wait and see...

Tammara did an excellent job with this sequel and she rocked my world with Graham. If you haven't checked out these books, go try them NOW! ...more

Even better than book 1. :)

Some books get a high rating for the story (the story was okay but it's not going to be winning any literary awards, heh). Some books get a high rating for an emotion that it evoked in me. This story did me in because of one character - Graham. He just made it to my list of favorite book guys of all time. He is the anti-alpha and admits it fully. Don't get me wrong - I love me a good alpha, but after realizing some months ago that YA fiction was being overrun with drop ...more

LOVED this book even more than the first...except I will say that the story line was stressful, to say the least. But the struggles that the main characters faced didn't seemed forced. I don't enjoy angst for the sake of angst. It has to be justified.

The love story that we get out of this one is soooo incredibly good. The main characters are 2 of the most likeable characters I've read! For all of the drama going on around them, they still try to openly communicate with each other and not play s ...more

A really great series! The author is more than just a YA writer - she is superb and insightful with really mature and thoughtful storytelling skills. This may be a high school/late teen characters but the story telling in my opinion is more of a mature writing style.

Both Graham and Emma are lovable characters and even Reid is developed to where the reader will enjoys his assholery! The author does deliver as promised as we do see Reid's layers unfold in this book, and the reader will even start ...more

I wanted to like this book. But I didn’t think it was much better than “okay,” and that gave me the sad.

As I said in my BTL review, I do like Tammara Webber’s writing style; she has a way of describing emotions, especially love, that makes me all mushy. Some authors just have that descriptive prowess that makes my little heart go pitter-pat, and Webber is one of them.

But as with BTL, I just couldn’t click with the main characters. I figured Emma would be more interesting than in Betwee ...more

Every bit as great as the first book, and then some.

A few months ago I went on vacation. Before I left I purchased a few kindle books to read along my journey. One of the books I purchased was Between the Lines by Tammara Webber. I was just looking for a fun, fast, and easy going read nothing spectacular. But, what I got was one of my favorite books and thankfully, the start to an incredible series.

I was just looking for a fun, fast, and easy going read nothing spectacular. But, what I got was one of my favorite books and thankfully, the start to an incredible series. Read my review of Between the Lines.

Thanks to the wonderful author, I am continuing my journey with this fantastic group of young adults on their journeys of self discovery and fame. If you haven't read Between the Lines yet, and are a fan of young adult coming of age stories I definitely recommend it.

Also, if you haven't read the first book, I would not continue reading this review as there may be spoilers. What I recommend you do is go to Amazon/Barnes and Noble, purchase a copy of Between the Lines fall in love with Tammara's exquisite writing, then buy Where You Are because I know you will want to. :)

Where You Are ended up being just as fantastic as its predecessor. The gang of young actors are all back (even the ones we wish would go away *cough*Brooke*cough* and promoting their film, School Pride. Some are still scheming and as conniving as ever.

Picking up right where the first book leaves off Tammara Webber traps us in this beautifully written story of first love and growing up. While the story changes view points back and forth from Emma, Graham, Brooke, and Reid I would say this story is Emma and Graham's story. And, what an amazing story it is! I absolutely adore the two of them, Graham especially. Ever since I read The Nature of Jade by Deb Caletti I've had a thing for young dads in books, something about the dedication and maturity it takes to be a young dad.

My favorite part of this book was listening to the internal battles Graham struggles with. He has such strong and real feelings for Emma, it made my heart melt. These characters are your best friends and past relationships, Tammara makes real people in her books, people we can all identify with (whether we love or hate them). I love it, love it, love it.

While I have strong unfriendly feelings towards Reid and Brooke, I know why we need them, well, characters like them. I have two favorite lines from the book (both from Graham):

What did I tell Emma before-that I'm not possessive? screw that.
A truth learned from four years of literary study: nothing beats an antagonist for character building.

Overall, I am a huge Tammara Webber fan (could you tell?). This woman is phenomenal, I don't just brag about anyone. Book 3 in the Between the Lines series, Good For You, will be out in December, make sure to look for it! ...more

“Something about first love defies duplication. Before it, your heart is blank. Unwritten. After, the walls are left inscribed and graffitied. When it ends, no amount of scrubbing will purge the scrawled oaths and sketched images, but sooner or later, you find that there’s space for someone else, between the words and in the margins.” — 220 likes
