Review Detail

Shades of Blue is a fabulous book. It tears your heart out at times, especially when you learn of the abuse that Sam and his step-sister, Brittany, endure. And JoJo is a spunky, plucky girl whose devotion to Sam will almost make you cheer out loud. This book is layered, and complicated at times because of everything the kids face in it, but it's also loaded with innocence and wonderment. JoJo's self discovery and tender moments with Sam are beyond swoonworthy! I highly recommend this book! Joyce never disappoints. Her grasp of characterization breathes life into a book, and you'll love the people in her stories so much, you'll expect them to walk through your front door. Excellent read, amazing author. Pick up Shades of Blue!
