I was in love with this book from Prologue to Ending. I couldn’t put it down. I haven’t been so lost within a story in a while. She gave us everything from a small town we all secretly love. Close knit families, young love, tragedy, and heartbreak.
I laughed out loud and sobbed just as hard. The emotions seep into your soul and hold steady with hopes that all will turn out the way it’s supposed to.

But does anything ever go exactly as planned?

In Complicate Me we are introduced to group of small town kids who’s families are so close they are raised like siblings. Jacob, Dylan, Austin, Lucas and Alexandra have a bond that will withstand the tests of time. Or so we hope. The groundwork that is laid in this book ensures the rest of this series will be just as phenomenal.

Lucas aka. “Bo” and Alexandra aka. “Alex/Half Pint” have the strongest bond in the group. With their mothers being best friends it is destined to be so. Adolescence takes control and their friendship begins to blossom into a completely different feeling. However, outside influences don’t understand or have mercy on these young hearts.

I watched in awe as Bo and Half Pint come into their own and fall victim to raging hormones and broken desires. I forgave and carried on when hope seemed to enflame only to get snuffed out again… I cussed and cried right along them.

Moving on from a life you have always known, is sometimes the most difficult thing to overcome.
They say everything happens for a reason… That we are never given more than we can handle…

Hurricanes leave tragedy in their wake…

Sometimes… Sometimes the best comes after the rebuild.

Thank you M. for the opportunity to experience the heart of The Good Ol’ Boys. I cannot wait for more!
