rock
When Cooper’s parents divorce, he finds himself landed in Week About—one week with his mum and one week with his dad.
Only, it’s not just his dad he has to live with. There’s Lila, too: The other woman, the one who stole the rock-solid foundation of his life.
And then . . .
There’s Jace. Lila’s son. Lila’s smug, regurgitated-fish-scale-blue eyed son.
All Cooper wants is to have his family back the way it once was, but there’s something about this boy that promises things will never be the same again.
Sedimentary.
Resisting the realities of his new life, Cooper and Jace get off to a rocky start. But rocky start or not, after hundreds of shared memories together, they forge something new. A close . . . friendship.
Because friendship is all they can have. Although it’s not like they are real brothers. Technically, they’re not even stepbrothers . . .
Metamorphic.
But how does that friendship evolve under the pressures of life?
Under pressures of the heart?
This was just gorgeous. And annoying. Because I had a list of 20 things to do yesterday (Saturday) and I started this book in the morning with my coffee just 'for a few minutes'. There went my Saturday! I was completely hooked, and every time I tried to put it down, I'd find myself thinking of nothing else, so I'd give in. The writing is just lovely in this, Anyta. Really special. And I loved the theme with the rocks. Very interesting and unusual. Highly recommended to any and all!Anyta Sunday,
4,5 stars This was my first book by Anyta Sunday and I really liked it! I want to try other books written by her. The writing style is great! I was hooked from the first pages. I read it in one sitting. Such a soul wrenching story! I must admit I was surprised the characters were so young when they met, and I'm not a fan of young adult stories, but this was much deeper than I expected, taking place over 10 years. Cooper and Jace were so young and inexperienced, but from cold stepbrothers they
