Ruthless King by Maya Hughes

4.0

Actually a 4.5 rating but I can't do that on here for some reason? come on good reads, give us the ability to half stars!

Okay so you know how in Youngblood, Luke goes like "Remember the worlds you told me, "love me till the day I day" and "you used to call me baby now you're calling me by name"? Well this book is the actual definition of this song. Well that song and Broken Home by 5SOS. Basically 5SOS could write the soundtrack to this book.

Maya did not even have to write this book in a way that broke my heart, had me smiling like an idiot, and wanting me to jump into the fictional world and just hug both Emmett and Avery and tell them that it's all going to be okay. She has a way of just trapping you in randomly to a point where you know you should stop reading because you have stuff to do, but you can't stop. How could you stop when two people who are meant to be together keep thinking the world is against them?

A classic second chance story of high school lovers who had a falling out and four years later were forced to be in the same room. But what they realized was that the moments of fear and loneliness weren't because of hatred, but because of longing. It was a realization that home is in fact a feeling, rather than a place. I love these two so much, and I'd give them the world.
