I also surprised myself as I saw more of myself in Tiffany than I liked. I was so surprised by the characters in this book, I can’t wait to see Lake come into her own more. I loved how this book was set in a simpler time, the 90s were my golden era so I loved all the references and remembering just how hard life was without such things as a mobile phone, things like having to rush home to make sure you didn’t miss a call from a boy you like. Lake may have seen Manning first but her older sister Tiffany sees him next, and Tiffany is a girl who gets what she wants, just ask her daddy. But life doesn’t always work out the way you want, and no matter how hard you want your happy ever after you don’t always get it. Manning and Lake have a connection, but he knows she in innocent and he wants to keep her that way. Him being Twenty-three-year-old Manning Raymond Sutter a man who knows first-hand that life isn’t fair, when he finds up a gold bracelet on site he didn’t realise it would change his life in more ways that anyone would think possible. Lake has never thought of boys in the way that she starts thinking of him, a hot, dark yummy older man who works construction next door. Sixteen-year-old Lake Dolly Kaplan is a young woman with a serious head on her very innocent shoulders, she has never been kissed, she enjoys studying and her dad has a plan for her that doesn’t involve unsuitable boys, that’s what her sister is for. (life was hard, no mobile phones (you generally had to talk on the house phone in front of your parents) no GPS, no internet to get more details of your latest crush. You need this book in your life, especially if you were around in the 90s, even if you weren’t you still need it to understand the pain we went through.
I am sobbing like a baby because it’s over!! May can’t come soon enough. I loved this book even though I spent a large chuck of the reading time with that horrid sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
This is the first book in the Something in the way series, the next book isn’t released for a couple of months and Jessica Hawkins has just become number one on my most hated list, she used to be number one on my fan girl list, but agggghhhhhh.
I read and reviewed all of the stories in the saga as novels and have re-read them as a saga set and they just made me smile and blub so much again!! These are the individual reviews, make sure you don’t miss this Saga. Something in the way:A Love Saga a gut-wrenching breath-taking filled five-star reads.
