Description
**ADVANCED READER COPY**
Romance - The Ward Way
Rylie Marshall had blue, green, yellow and mixture of pills that made her "normal". But her idea of normal and what her mother or society wanted her to be never seemed to match up.
She lives day-by-day in a fantasy land within her own troubled head and books. Reading was her escape whenever even her head denied her such a haven.
So, how was she to know that one day, sitting on the beach, a book would show her the one thing she didn't have, but might hold the cure...
Love.
Mike Newport had white, yellow and striped pills that made him capable of being one of the most cut-throat corporate marketing advisers his clients could have. Not even a life-changing tragedy could slow him down.
His days and most nights were spent with his head buried in flow charts, graphs and spreadsheets. Busy was the best way--the heart could easily be ignored as it was dying inside his chest.
The last thing he needed was a vacation, but how was he to know that a crazy girl, playing in the waves and talking to the birds might give him the one thing he had been avoiding...
Love.

Published: November 2, 2017
The cover is spot on for this book.
I'm glad I have an ARC and I know it will be reviewed and edited before final press, because the grammar mistakes tripped me up almost every other page.
So, my biggest complaint with the story is that we get to the meat of it too soon. Like, after the first chapter we realize what's going on with Riley and her mom. That should have, and could have, been drawn out better to actually make the reader guess.
Riley is adorable. Yes, she sounds like a 13 year old most of the time, but she's fresh and full of life. But then her mother shows up and all goes to hell.
Mike seems like a good guy. I don't understand how the blurb discusses his pills, but whatever.
Roxie is fun, albeit a little cliche. Maybe a lot cliche, but fun either way.
This annoyed me most of all: "Because now your Mikey has you and you know what, Rylie? Your Mikey loves you."
I don't like when characters name-speak so much. Especially corny pet names.
I liked the book though, and I devoured it in just a day.
Thank you, Netgalley for the free e-copy in exchange for my honest-to-goodness review.
