The Friday 56
I decided it would be fun to take part in another weekly meme! This time it’s the Friday 56, which looks like fun and a great way to be part of the bookish community!
The rules are as follows:
- Grab a book, any book
- Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
- Find any sentence (or a few, just don’t spoil it) that grabs you
- Post it
- Add your URL post in the link on Freda’s most recent Friday 56 post
Reclaining the Sand by A. Meredith Walters
Bully and victim.
tormentor and tormented.
Villain and hero.Ellie McCallum was a bully. No connection to anyone or anything. A sad and lonely existence for a young woman who had come to expect nothing more for herself. Her only happiness coming from making others miserable. Particularly Freaky Flynn.
Flynn Hendrick lived a life completely disconnected even as he struggled to become something more than that boy with Asperger’s. He was taunted and teased, bearing the brunt of systematic and calculated cruelty, ultimately culminating in a catastrophic turn of events that brought Ellie and Flynn’s worlds crashing down. But then Flynn and Ellie grew up. And moved on.
Until years later when their paths unexpectedly cross again and the bully and the freak are face to face once more. When labels come to define you, finding yourself feels impossible. Particularly for two people disconnected from the world who inexplicably find a connection in each other.
And out of the wreckage of their tragic beginnings, an unlikely love story unfolds. But a painful past doesn’t always want to let go. And old wounds are never truly healed…and sometimes the further you try to run from yourself the closer you come to who you really are.
Synopsis from Goodreads
56%:
“I felt drained. Talking to Dania was hard at the best of times. But now, with my life changing in slow, incremental ways, I was finding it even more difficult to be around her.
Because now when I looked at my friend, I only saw a person I never wanted to be.”
Sad 56, but it goes well with the ethereal cover.
Happy weekend!
It does. 😉
Hope you have a great weekend!!
This looks like a book I’d be interesting in reading. Thank you for sharing. I’m adding it to my TBR list now.
It is really great – definitely worth reading!
I really loved Flynn – he was completely adorable. 😉
That sounds like an interesting love story. I was shocked to hear the updated statistics on autism recently. It affects so many people and families now.
