TTT #12: Books that were Hard for Me to Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish where people share their top ten things according to the topic of that week.

 

 

These books dealt with more mature topics and had some very emotional parts.
 

 

Making Faces by Amy Harmon

Something Like Normal by Trish Doller

Left Drowning by Jessica Park

Dreamland by Sarah Dessen

 

Back when I started reading, I was just browsing for things to read and found this series. It gave me some major headaches. Every character was so frustrating! I felt like the story could've been way shorter too because it definitely dragged on. I did manage to finish the whole series but only because I really don't like to DNF.

Review: Something Like Normal by Trish Doller

Today I want to share my review on one of the NA books I recommended from my Top Ten Tuesday this week. This has been released for quite some time and I think a lot of people have already read this but here are my thoughts :)

Something Like Normal

by Trish Doller

June 19, 2012

224 pages

Goodreads  Chapters

Goodreads Summary:

When Travis returns home from a stint in Afghanistan, his parents are splitting up, his brother’s stolen his girlfriend and his car, and he’s haunted by nightmares of his best friend’s death. It’s not until Travis runs into Harper, a girl he’s had a rocky relationship with since middle school, that life actually starts looking up. And as he and Harper see more of each other, he begins to pick his way through the minefield of family problems and post-traumatic stress to the possibility of a life that might resemble normal again. Travis’s dry sense of humor, and incredible sense of honor, make him an irresistible and eminently lovable hero.
