Anywhere Else

By Kayla Hicks

Amidst the wreckage of heartbreak and homelessness, Leena faces a pivotal choice: Brent, the magnetic wildcard, or Garrett, the steadfast friend. But as love beckons from unexpected corners, Leena's decision becomes a journey of self-discovery with consequences she never imagined.

In the aftermath of a brutal breakup and her mother's alcoholic tendencies, Leena finds solace in the unwavering support of her best friend, Sydney. Together, they carve out a new beginning in a shared apartment, setting the stage for Leena's journey toward healing and independence.

But when two captivating men enter her life, Leena's newfound stability is thrown into disarray. Brent, the charming risk-taker, offers passion and excitement, yet harbors secrets that challenge Leena's trust. Meanwhile, Garrett, her ex-boyfriend's steadfast friend, provides comfort and familiarity, tempting Leena with his unwavering support.

As Leena navigates the complexities of love and loyalty, she must confront her deepest fears and make a choice that will shape her future. With each path holding unforeseen consequences, Leena embarks on a quest to discover not only whom she desires, but also the person she strives to become.

I think as readers when we start a book we are hoping it will pull us into its world and make us forget whatever is around us. Anywhere Else is that book. Whether you can relate to Leena or not the world building and character development in this book are top notch. I could not put this book down and wouldn't be disappointed if the author gives us more of these characters in a sequel!
