Born for Leaving

Intense. Funny. Heart-breaking. Soul lifting. Romantic. A book you can't put down. Yeah, I love Born for Leaving by Jude Munro. A book that can hurt so good in an emotional way, but still resonates with hope and love. Damn...you know those books? This is one.

I have to warn you that if you have triggers of past abuse or sexual harassment, this may be an issue. Munro goes dark in this story with Bodie, but when you hear Bodie's story you will see why it couldn't be anything but dark. Bodie has a past to tell and unfortunately it echoes throughout our community. Munro gives a voice to this pain, but also gives us a glimpse into a possibility.

Bodie and Ollie are fantabulous. Who can blame Ollie for falling for a motorcycle riding cowboy? These two are both in need of comfort in different ways. Bodie sees Ollie. When everyone looks through you and suddenly a walking talking dream actually stops and sees you...your heart would go pitter patter too.

I cannot wait to see who Munro writes about next in the “New England State of Mind” series if Bodie and Ollie are the kickoff point. No pressure Munro (laugh). Born for Leaving is a five-star read.

I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
