Without Merit by Colleen Hoover
5.0

So I am jumping into another Colleen books, I was super excited like I always am with her books! They get me all the time, she has this type of writing that just sucks me in and I cant stop!

I didn't know what Without Merit was going to be about, I tried to not read all the talk about it. I wanted to go in with a fresh mind. Well i sure went in blind, I felt the start was a little slow and I just didn't get where it was going why I was not connecting with the book. Well that all changed when I go a little more into the book and started to figure out the message behind it. And when I was all done and closed the book I have to say IT'S a MUST read!!!!!! To watch ( that's what I do when I read lol ) this story of a young girl struggle through some real life issues was sad, it was real and something I think a lot of us have or are dealing with.

Merit sure has a crazy family, like most people but her's was a little extra. This young seventeen year old girl has a lot to deal with or a lot of secrets she and everyone in her family seem to be hiding. She is looking for some acceptance someone to pay attention to her because she doesn't think anyone is. Or are they, do they have their own things going on and maybe her family just needs to come together to get to know each other again to be there for each other to just love one another. She struggles through many things through out the book and in the will she figure out what is going on with her self and why she feel so alone and lost?

Merit was my favorite one in the book but I did love that Voss family, each one has something you just have to love. Sagan, he sure fits right in to this not normal family! But he will play a very vital role and that is all you are getting from me but rocks so read !! HEHE

In the end all I could think of was REAL LIFE and how the struggle of dealing with family, yourself, growing up and just trying to fit in can be crazy and consume you. But I love the end and I love the support Merit got. If you need something to make you FEEL and want a book to just sink into then read it, I promise you will love it!
