Reader Question – The book about the girl that runs a lot, to handle what she’s going through…

By 2 Comments

Mallory’s question is short and sweet and I think I know the answer!!! It’s one of our original indie favorites!!

She asks:

I’m looking for a book about a girl that runs. Runs a lot to handle what she’s going through.

She runs too far and finds a guy in his garage.

Maryse: Hi Mallory!! Are you looking for The Sea of Tranquility: A Novel by Katja Millay? I LOVED that one so much. In fact, here’s my 5 STAR review.

Agree or do you have a different guess?

Ashley: Is it Beautifully Broken Pieces (The Sutter Lake Series Book 1) by Catherine Cowles? read more

 NEW SERIES BY TIJAN and book #2 just went LIVE today!!

About book #1:

To survive where I live, you have two options.

You can be a Normal—a cheerleader, jock, member of the debate team, or on the yearbook committee. You pretend everything is normal.

Or you can be crew.
You insult us? We hurt you.
You hurt us? We really hurt you.
And if you f*ck with us, we will end you.

My name is Bren.
I’m the only female in the Wolf Crew—the best, fiercest, and most dangerous crew there is—and we have a rule: There’s no falling in love. read more
