Callum and Harper: Fisher Amelie

Are you kidding me, Fisher Amelie? You get me hooked on a girl, a guy, a book AND a band? In one sitting, folks.

Cried. My. Eyes. Out.

Then did it again. This one is a keeper for sure. Woman, you had me staring at my dang wedding band intermittently throughout the read! What are you doing to me?

Spoilers on this one. Just can't help myself. Read the spoiler-free reviews goodreads.com if you wish. Starting... now.

Callus and Harper both just broke my heart in so many ways. Their story was exhilarating, cute, frustrating, heartbreaking, triumphant, determined, stubborn, funny and sad, all in one. Oh, I could go on.

And my, how the angst flows. Harper and Callum both frustrate me to no end for two solid years worth of miscommunication. Two years! Why? Geez, I had my share of being a wallflower in my dating days, but even I could have squeaked out a love confession in that amount of time!

But boy, did Callum come through for my heart every step of the way. :swoon, sigh: Never let Harper down for a second. And no, I don't consider John Bell getting to her a letdown on Callum's part. You can control what irrational people decide to do. That's why it is irrational.

And the main character you write about in book two? Oh, you devil. If I'd been asked who I wanted in a second book, that would have been spot on. Tye-Dye Tom? Thank you for that. I can't wait to read it. He's a closet romantic and softie; I just know it.

Five stars. Obviously. Wish I could have given a hundred times that. Probably staying as a permanent resident on my kindle, which is a first.

Oh, the band, you say? Yes... Barcelona. Go get the song. Good grief, just go get the album.

Get the books. Album, playlist, freaking poster for your wall if one exists. I briefly considered even renaming my cat Callum. Ok, maybe not seriously. But it did cross my mind.
