5 Stars!
"Live, baby. Laugh, cry,
scream, and love. Realize that every moment you have is worth ever drop of
sweat and tears you can give it.”
New favorite! Full Measures
beautifully describes exactly what it’s like to cope with the aftermath of
love and loss and how hard it can be to move on. Ember and Josh’s story is definitely
one that will make you feel practically everything on the human spectrum of
emotion! December Howard opens the front door on her birthday and is greeted
with news that will change her life forever, but she has no idea just how much.
In the wake of her father’s death in Afghanistan, Ember struggles to hold her
family together even when she’s barely hanging on by a thread. Thankfully, Josh
Walker, her little brother’s hockey coach (not to mention her ex-bad-boy high
school crush), is more than willing to help her with “whatever” she needs. Josh
has secretly had a thing for Ember since he was eighteen, but kept it to
himself because he knew he wasn’t good enough for her… yet. Now he’s ready to
have what he’s always wanted if he can just convince Ember to take a chance.
Love isn’t exactly what Ember
has in mind at the moment. She has enough on her plate trying to keep her
little sister from going off the deep end, dealing with the fallout from her
asshole ex, and keeping the grief left by her father’s passing from swallowing
her whole. Not to mention she never wants to see herself fall apart like her
mother did when those two officers knocked on their door. Still, she can’t seem
to stay away from a very persistant Josh. And just when she thinks they might
be able to make things work, Ember finds out a secret that could shatter
everything they’ve built. When it comes to experiencing the Full Measures of love, life, and loss,
just how much can they handle?
