 Review Attraction by K.M. Golland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been reading my series of books By K.M. GollandI own book 1 and 2 and I got Book 3 and this book from the Library, I intend to buy them but they need to be signed so they match my first 2. I booked out the whole set so my signed books stayed perfect!

#Bookaholic that I am - I hate to bend my Signed books.

So this book is about one of my favourite characters in this series BBF Carly.
Alexis is a great character, but if I had a #BookBestFriend come to life I would want Carly.

I loved this line:

Have you ever thought you knew exactly where your life was headed? - Once upon a time I did think this but then live tends to throw curveballs ( and I have been playing in the major leagues of Curveballs lately!)

Carly is a secretary/Admin at a school (Funny so was I once upon a time) My school was full of teenagers, but oh how I laughed at the things the kids got up to, and this is what I like about Ms Gollands writing, its down to earth, believable and relatable so the reader can see themselves in the characters on the pages.

Then there is DIK - oh my, don't we all wish we had a DIK ( well I do have my own - but he isn't a firefighter - oh swoon!)
Firefighter-Derek. Drop-dead-gorgeous-Derek. Brown-eyed-dirty-talking-cocky-as-hell-Derek. Their banter between each other kept me smiling and turning the pages.

There was one part in the book when I got very frightened, I thought oh no Ms Golland please don't make me cry again! ( She has had me sobbing in the other books)

But I can thankfully say that by the time I had finished the book I was full of smiles and fluffy marshmallow feelings. #ohthefeels

I think I have enjoyed this book the best from the series, I guess because both characters are more down to earth and funny. I think I had a smile on my face for most of the book.

Anyway - I am saving for either a ticket to Aussie again for more signed books - or maybe I can tempt Ms Golland to visit good ol Southland! Her books are in the library after all :D

The Problem With Crazy Blog Hop

GOODREADS

BLURB

The problem with crazy is that crazy, by itself, has no context. It can be good crazy, bad crazy . . . or crazy crazy—like it was when my ex-boyfriend sung about me on the radio.

Eighteen-year-old Kate couldn’t be more excited about finishing high school and spending the summer on tour with her boyfriend's band. Her dad showing up drunk at graduation, however, is not exactly kicking things off on the right foot—and that’s before she finds out about his mystery illness, certain to end in death.



A mystery illness she is likely to inherit.



When your whole life goes from adventure and ecstasy to sad and suicidal, what’s the point? Not knowing who to love, and who to trust . . . where does it end?



The Problem With Crazy is a story about love and life; about overcoming obstacles, choosing to trust, and learning how to make the choices that will change your life forever.

 “Huntington’s causes a deterioration of neurodegenerative skills,” Leslie recited. “The disease generally takes about three years to completely set in, although symptoms are hard to diagnose at first, with things like clumsiness, and distant behaviour being common.” I let out a breath I didn’t know I’d been holding. Was that my dad? He’d always been kind of clumsy, sure. Had he had this lurking monster inside his head for a few years, and I hadn’t even realised?“Addiction is a common side effect, with things like drinking becoming a problem for some sufferers. Control of the limbs and speech will deteriorate at varying speeds for varying patients. General prognosis is fifteen to twenty years from first onset,” Leslie kept on reading. “The most common life-threatening complications are pneumonia, followed by heart complications and—finally—suicide.”I blinked. I looked outside at the old man and the girl by the tree. Now the elder gentleman had his arm around the young woman, holding her close in a loving way. I tried to erase him from the picture, imagine him swinging from the tree with a rope around his neck. I tried to replace his face with my dad’s.I shook my head and pushed the picture out of my mind. What was wrong with me? Thoughts like that weren’t normal. He was okay. My dad was alive, unwell, but alive. I was a sick, sick person to even think that.Like my father.
