Two Roads
by L.M. Augustine
L.M. Augustine has definitely swept me away with this book! I thoroughly enjoyed Two Roads. Cali and Logan have had a rivalry going for the past six months, since he transferred to her school. However, as the days go on, the triumph she should feel when it comes to her pranks has turned to guilt. An impromptu trip to a poetry conventions pushes the two of them together. Maybe they're not so different after all.
I really enjoyed reading about Cali and Logan's rivalry/relationship. Maybe it was just 'cause I've had my own fair share of those that I could enjoy it so much. Honestly, the best friends are those who you can insult without worrying about actually insulting them. Their pranks were fun, their insults and rapid back-and-forth was awesome, and the characters themselves totally lovable.
While I loved their rivalry relationship, I also loved it when they weren't on insult mode (because at one point, it was just becoming repetitive >
The poetry in the book was well done. It didn't blow me away, but I definitely enjoyed reading it. The snippets before chapters were a nice reprieve from the story line, even though they kind of outlined it as well, while the poems found on Cali's poetry website were moving, inspiring, and different in more ways than one. I quite liked that Augustine moved away from traditional poetry and really changed it up. I also loved how his themes came together in the end, finishing off the book perfectly for me.
Overall, Two Roads was definitely better than Click to Subscribe. The characters were easier to read about, the plot was fun and light-hearted, with an underlying secret that makes the story all the more believable and heart-breaking, and the novel in itself was unique and refreshing!
