18-year-old Jacey is a high school dropout and recent runaway. The only life experience she has is cooking meth for her stepfather Vince, and she wants to put that life behind her now. But when a chance encounter throws her together with Silas, an ex-drug dealer looking for a way out himself, she finds herself in the middle of something bigger than Vince's small operation. They need to go anywhere to get away from the mess they're in.
This is definitely not my usual reading material. When I read YA, I tend to go for the contemporary romance and coming-of-age stories Sarah Dessen and Morgan Matson are known for. However I've really enjoyed Sydney Logan's romance novels in the past, so I gave this a chance. I'm glad I did. Halfway to Anywhere is not a full-length novel, but rather a very short "episode" in a serial called Wild Child. I read it in under an hour. Even if it weren't so short, it would be a page turner. The character development and storytelling accomplished in such a brief piece is nothing short of amazing. I can't wait to read the next installment!
Note: Because of the subject matter, violence and illegal activity is prominently featured in this story (although not glorified). Please be warned if you are bothered by this type of content.
I received a complimentary copy from the author in exchange for my honest review.
