WHAT’S A SOULMATE
BY
Lindsey Quimet
Libby Carmichael has just met her Soulmate. It’s just too bad he’s behind bars.
When you only see the world in black and white until you meet yours, it's pretty easy to figure out when you’ve found your Soulmate. What Libby can't figure out is why fate, destiny, or the powers that be have decided that Andrew McCormack is her one, true match. Libby is smart, organized, and always has a plan for what's coming next. So when she sees Andrew for the first time and her world is instantly filled with color, she's thrown for a loop.
Namely because he's in a dingy grey jumpsuit.
And handcuffs.
And being booked into a juvenile detention facility.
Surely a boy who's been convicted of a headline-making, violent crime isn't who she’s meant to be with. There's no way she belongs with someone like that...right?

MY THOUGHTS…
*I received a copy of this book from Netgalley,
in exchange for an honest review*
What must it be like to
finally meet your soul mate, the one who brings colour into your black and
white life, and then have to book appointments to visit him because he’s behind
bars? Well, that’s what happened to Libby. And I don’t think that it helped
that she didn’t tell her parents or her best friend or that her father was a
member of the police.
When Libby first went to see
Drew, I didn’t feel sorry for him at all. He was completely ignoring her and
wasn’t letting her help him. But when he revealed who the man was that he had
sent to the hospital, I did start to feel for him and his little brother.
I think the first time I
started to like Drew was when he asked about Libby’s hair colour. Living in a
grey building with grey walls and floors must have been so hard when all he
wanted was to see some colour. I thought it was so sweet of Libby when she took
her mother's bracelet to show him the colours on it and to teach him them.
Drew was if you haven’t
already figured out, my favourite character and he was so protective over his
little brother that the eight-year-old idolised him. It must have been so hard
for the young boy when his older brother wound up in prison, and his mother
cared more for the man that her son had put in the hospital. She cared for that
man more than she did for her son who was spending his days behind bars, unable
to talk to his little brother to explain what happened and why he did what he
did.
I loved this book. I Highly
Recommend this book to young adult readers and hope that everyone else loves
this book as much as I do.
