BLOG TOUR: No Place Like Here by Christina June


Thank you so much to Fantastic Flying Book Club for considering me as a host for the Blink Summer Reading Tour.



No Place Like Here by Christina June
Publisher: BLINK
Release date: May 21, 2019
Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary, Retelling

Synopsis: Ashlyn Zanotti has big plans for the summer. She’s just spent a year at boarding school and can’t wait to get home. But when Ashlyn’s father is arrested for tax evasion and her mother enters a rehab facility for “exhaustion,” a.k.a. depression, her life is turned upside down.

The cherry on top? Ashlyn’s father sends her to work with a cousin she doesn’t even know at a rustic team-building retreat center in the middle of nowhere. A self-proclaimed “indoor girl,” not even Ash’s habit of leaving breadcrumb quotes—inspirational sayings she scribbles everywhere—can help her cope.

With a dangerously careless camp manager doling out grunt work, an overbearing father trying to control her even from prison, and more than a little boy drama to struggle with, the summer is full of challenges. And Ashlyn must make the toughest decision of her life: keep quiet and follow her dad’s marching orders or find the courage to finally stand up to her father to have any hope of finding her way back home. 

Review: As someone who reads all day and can't stand heat waves, I am thankful that this book was short, fast and cute. It was a great summer read about a girl who just wants to survive, be seen and be heard. Ashlyn was a little annoying at a time with her flirtations and the love triangle took me back to high school where I was being two-timed by a guy. It did not sit well, but I found myself smiling at times because she was taking risks and it made me smile. I felt like her proud mom which is obviously better than her actual mom.
