mb_booklady 's review for:
Just Look Up
by Courtney Walsh
Although Lane has known Ryan Brooks for years, he was always been a family friend. When she left family she didn't fit in with, he was left behind as well. After a childhood that left her feeling like the child who didn't matter, Lane takes her ticket out of town and runs as hard as she can. Years later, when her favorite brother is involved in a motorcycle accident, she is still running. While she returns home to see him, she is dreading every moment being there.
When Lane returns to her hometown, Brooks is still there and part of the family. Adult Lane realizes there may be more to his kindness than just being a nice person. As Brooks helps Lane refocus on what is important, they begin to call for one another.
Walsh used Brooks' childhood to contrast Lane's. Obviously the pain left by their families was different, but it was no less scarring for either of them.
Walsh also shows a unique thought process when readers learn the pain Lane feels from her sister's betrayal is really what she is grieving and hurt I st rather than the infidelity of a former boyfriend.
I. My opinion, Land's mom should have been a bit more mama bear as her children were growing up. She also should not have added to Land's body image issues by sticking her with a ridiculous nickname.
