ABOUT kIMBERY
I'm a wanderer, an adventurer, a traveler.
I want to see it all. I haven't been everywhere but it's on my list.
"She travels the world & home is always in her heart."
Lately if I'm not traveling or chasing a toddler, I'm writing. Which is weird because I hated writing in college. Oh wait, that's because that was boring. Who really wants to sit there and cite all your sources into APA format? Not this girl. Writing for yourself is enjoyable and cathartic. Please try it. Then tell me about because I love indie authors.
When I was 19, I packed up and followed my high school sweetheart from Texas to California. We had a blast living it up in San Diego. Four years later we made a crazy decision and packed up again and moved to Germany. What? Yep, you read that right. Guess what? Best decision ever! We OWNED Europe. For three years we saw as much as we possibly could. It was the most amazing time of my life. Please go out there and see the world, you won't regret it. After Europe we moved back to California, and for now we're just debating our next adventure.
I earned a degree in Child Development. And now I write novels. Makes perfect sense! I write because I walk around all day with these stories in my head. It's nice to be able to get them out of my head in an organized fashion. I hope that someone out there enjoys them, because I have enjoyed so many others'.

So long...It had been so long since I'd had a good ugly cry. Thank you, Kimberly Lauren. The angst, the drama! I love it. Before I say anything else, I have to say this--I have a huge respect for Kimberly Lauren and her gigantic cojones! She has written a female lead that could have been easily hated, but she takes a girl who has a reputation for being the unapologetic school slut and makes us love her.

REVIEW
What I loved most about Emerson (great name, BTW) is that she fully accepts responsibility for how messed up she is. She screws up left and right and, while she may blame her parents death for making her the way she is, she doesn't blame anyone but herself for the situations she gets herself into and for the decisions she makes. There is no woe is me going on here, and I really enjoyed that. I loved how she caves on her rules and is so new at this "feeling" thing that she says cute and vulnerable things like "This whole 'dating' thing was strange territory for me. Was I supposed to call him or text him to tell him I would meet him? Or was I supposed to just act like I always did? I decided to go with the latter, because I had no idea how to do anything else." All this turmoil is because she falls for her best friend Jaxon.
Jaxon...dreamy sigh. Although I will say, he was a most frustrating character during their rough patch. I really wanted to smack him around for making me, I mean, Emerson cry and beg and plead the way I, um she, did. Other than that, he was WONDERFUL. My favorite quote of his--"Your smile is breathtaking right now. What are you thinking about and please tell me how I can keep it there?" WOW! He does the sweetest, kindest little things for her too. He has the patience of Job for a while until he just doesn't, and that's when things get gut-wrenching.
My favorite quote..."It's not possible for us to feel this deep of a connection and for you not to. I can't be the only one feeling this.
My only wish is that the plot hadn't lagged in some places and there had been better editing. Once I was hooked, I was able to look beyond the mistakes, so you probably will to.
