The only person poetry-loving Cali Monroe hates more than
herself is Logan Waters, the geeky kid who lives in the dorm building next to
hers.
Ever since Cali's parents told her she would amount to
nothing, she has felt entirely inadequate. Friendless and alone, she takes on
the mean girl role in hopes it will make her feel better--and Logan serves as
the perfect target. He infuriates her with his obnoxiously long lashes, his all
too perfect dimpled smile, and his complete lack of personality outside of his
intelligence. It doesn't hurt that he's part of the reason her brother is dead,
either. So Cali hates him, and he returns the favor. Thus, their prank-filled,
insult-driven rivalry is born, and torturing Logan quickly becomes the
highlight of her life.
But when Cali's parents set them up on a blind date, she begins
to realize Logan might not be as boring as she always thought. He shares her
love of poetry, takes a sadistic pleasure in making fun of crepes, and he makes
her blush when he calls her smile pretty.
And hey, maybe those long lashes of his aren't that
obnoxious after all…
Two Roads is New Adult Romance about finding love, standing
out, and learning to embrace who you are. It contains some language and mild
sexual content.
“Then go to him,” I say quietly, and now I look up to meet
her gaze. Her brown eyes are hard and strong, watching me intently. “Go out
with him,” I continue. “Or don’t. But don’t let him go. Because if someone can
be constantly on your mind like that, if they can always make you smile, if
they can cheer you up one way or another, then you have to go to them. You have
to tell them what they mean to you and then you can go out with them or you can
stay friends or you can barely ever talk to them, but you enjoy yourself, you
have fun, and then you hold fast to them and never, ever let them go. Because
if someone, just by their existence, can brighten up your whole day, you have
to try like hell to keep them in your life.” I take a long breath as soon as
the words finish tumbling out of my mouth, a jumble of thoughts and feelings
that, for me, couldn’t be more true. I don’t know where they came from other
than straight from that goddamn unpredictable heart of mine, and as soon as the
words leave my mouth, I know my subconscious has been working on them for a
long time.
