ARC received for an honest review

"You bury me"

You never know what is behind that white picket fence, do you?

What could be the perfect family could be full of secrets and lies and who knows what else.

I was excited to receive an early copy of Without Merit - I mean, Colleen Hoover hasn't done me wrong yet. And even though I am not one to read YA/teenage aged books (cos let's face it, I am an old fart and I am waaaaay past all that teen angst), I will always, and I mean always read CoHo's books.

Merit Voss' story is not all unicorns and cotton candy. It is a little weird, a little dark, a little warped -and I loved every second of it.

Her family is all kinds of whacked. I mean hoolie doolie, I don't want to give anything away but they are fifty shades of dysfunctional!!

I went through the whole gamut of emotions as I read Without Merit. Merit wormed her way into my heart right from the start, and I couldn't keep the emotions in. I laughed, I cried, I yelled at my kindle and threw it across the room. Ms Hoover just has that way with her writing, and even though I know she is going to rip my heart out and drag is through hell, I have to turn each page.

I don't want to spoil anything, as I feel that every CoHo book reader needs to go into a book a little bit blind.

Just be prepared for the unexpected.

I can't wait to see what she brings us next.

PS I loved that her little charity bookstore makes an appearance!
