I was thrilled to be asked to read an ARC of Entangled by the lovely Annie Brewer and I promised a fair review in return.Maddy and Noah come from different backgrounds, different towns and have totally different lives, yet their individual tragic circumstances bring them together and they find that they're'both from broken homes, both alone and miserable and both just trying to search for something better'.Despite the emotional entanglements of their past and despite Noah fighting against his growing feelings for Maddy they are drawn to eachother, 'it feels natural and foreign at the same time'.But will they be able to let go of their pasts and live in the here and now? Could they possibly dare to dream of a future .....together?I enjoyed the book and warmed to the characters. I loved the crew of people they surrounded themselves with, the phrase "friends are the family you handpick to surround yourself with" came to mind a lot when reading this book. I loved the homage to The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay 'good morning Sunshine' :-) alongside the popular culture references that made me want to hang out with these dudes.For my taste, the book was a little too long. I felt that the first half could have been tightened up a bit, but I know it's not edited yet so this may change. The second half I really got into.Best of luck with everything Annie - continued success xxxx
