The Chaos of Standing Still by Jessica Brody
5.0
emotional hopeful inspiring sad

Jessica Brody does a beautiful job of describing what it is like to be trapped inside your own mind. Lovers of Jennifer E. Smith and Kasie West will fall in love with this novel. Xander is almost everything you want in a male lead. Each side character adds their own wisdom and uniqueness to the story. While the ending was not completely satisfying, and the characters did get on my nerves sometimes, it really is a beautifully crafted novel about forgiving yourself and letting yourself move on.
