You can tell Chloe has some sort of feeling for Blake, but she won’t let herself feel. Won’t let her self get too close to anyone.

I knew my future. I knew my fate. And I knew that I had absolutely no control of any of

Chloe and Blake/Hunter…One girl who would want it all...One boy that seemingly had it.

Strangers to one another yet so vital to each other’s lives for the future.

One night, Fate puts the two on a path to physical collision. Everything they thought they knew they wanted, well, it isn’t quite so clear now.

Unfortunately I am not enjoying this one at all. The writing feels choppy going from one scene to the next without good transition.

The heroine's attitude is not endearing me to her all, and I feel like she is being completely selfish - I understand she has a 50% chance of getting a genetic illness but I just don't understand her way of dealing with it. It doesn't make a good story to me.

I'm sorry to say that I can't carry on.

Trust that the most unexpected person to fall into your life will actually be your life and soul. Jay McLean does not write to write, she writes to feel. She puts herself 100% all in with emotion and heart from the second the words form with in her. You cannot just read Jay McLean…you feel her from the top of your head way down to your toes. From the thoughts in your brain to the depths of your heart. She can evoke feels from places you didn't know existed and never dreamed possible.

From the thoughts in your brain to the depths of your heart. She can evoke feels from places you didn't know existed and never dreamed possible.

Where the Road Takes Me was the most unexpected things I've ever read from her. I had nothing to go on except “it’s Jay McLean”… and it was better, way better than I could have thought of. I was blown away by her sheer ability to write a great story. One that I can completely lose myself in over and over and over again. One that will stick to me even after it’s been read. One that even days later, can make me quote or re-read sections because it was THAT GOOD.

The characters…oh the characters…FANTASTIC!!! I fell in love with each of them so hard. I mean Chloe… adorable, troubled and strong as hell Chloe. Melted my heart in eleventy three different ways. BLAKE HUNTER is a freak’n GOD!!! “I placed his hand against my heart so he could feel the impact this had on me. You've just completed me”…DIED!!! I mean who recovers from that??? Jay McLean had me brought down to puddles of emotional mush just from the sheer building of this relationship!

DO NOT even get me started on the friendships in this book. I mean AMAZING!!! Everyone’s characters evolved and matured in the course of a summer to the point where I couldn't imagine NOT reading them. Friendships were made and lives were changed. I was in awe of how seamless Jay made everything. Josh and his determination, Blake and his blind faith, Chloe and her acceptance nearly killed me.

“And that’s when it happened. Something changed. A switch. It felt like someone had taken away the grey dullness behind my eyes and splashed color into them”. That’s what Jay has done to me. She has turned on the light and I see beautiful vivid color. She has taken me to a point of no return as a reader. She has held my hand through the heartache to heal and be rebuilt again. This book was amazing, beautiful, thoughtful and above all else magnificent. It is her best work yet. I am so proud of Jay and this book and all that it represents to her and the book world. She has turned my world red in more ways than one and I will be forever grateful. This book is 100% worth all of the love and feels that you will receive from it. 5 STAR READ ALL THE WAY!!!

Well, she's done it again. Jay McLean has stolen my heart after shoving it in the front row seat of an emotional roller coaster. There is always a point in her books where I am sitting and crying (or sometimes yelling) while reading her beautiful words when I wonder why I keep signing up to read these books. Then I finish and she's painted my whole freaking world red, because reading a Jay McLean book is one giant ongoing red letter day. So let's start with Chloe, she's amazing and frustrating a ...more
