I'll Meet You There

I felt like I’ll Meet You There was too short. I want more gosh darn it! I want more! It was gritty and real. It had lots of hardships and problems the characters had to go through and solve. Most of which are relatable. And just as a warning, this book does tug at your heartstrings and can mess with your emotions.

I loved Skylar, aka Sky. She was strong throughout all the crap she had to put up with and go through. She was a good girl, but she still had her faults, and that made me like her even more. I liked Josh too. I felt bad for him, beyond what he had to go through. It was really obvious that his time in Afghanistan changed him. There were times when I felt that he was being stupid and I just wanted to shake him, but overall I thought he was a great guy.

I only wish there was more of Josh’s point of view in the book. It felt like I only got tiny tidbits of his perspective. I felt like his backstory was a bit lacking. I wanted to know more and it felt like we didn't get the whole story about what happened while he was deployed. I think there were some missing puzzle pieces to Sky’s background, but Josh was missing more.

I thought I’ll Meet You There was perfect romantic wise. I liked how the romance evolved slowly and was no where near something like instalove. Their romance was cute and it made me smile at times. The ending was kind of open ended though. Although it was satisfying, I would love to read another story about them, preferably set in the future. It doesn't even have to be a full length book. Please, Heather. I need more!
