L.M. Augustine

I’ve been staring at the screen for twenty minutes trying to decide where to begin. It is hard to formulate into words just how amazing this book is. There was no violence, no unnecessary drama, just pure, raw emotion.

~ There once was a girl
She lived in bliss
She loved simple things: poetry, scrap pages, people who listen
Her parents were perfect, but they deemed her a waste
And then she had no one

Two Roads is the story of the love/hate relationship between Cali and Logan. After the death of her brother a few years earlier, she is no longer living, just merely surviving. She shuts out everyone around her, living a purely superficial life. She has an unhealthy relationship with her father, and the only emotion she exhibits is directed negatively towards Logan. He placates her, and gives it back just as much.

~ I don’t mind being called a bitch. Being a bitch means I’m strong. Being a bitch means I’m surviving, and sometimes that’s all I can do: I survive.

It has been said that there is a thin line between love and hate, and in the case of Logan and Cali, this statement has never been truer. Here is a little secret though: their hatred is all a lie. A cover up for their real emotions. What neither or them realize or will admit is that all this pent up anger and aggression is just their true feelings manifesting itself.

~ Everything else fades away, and it’s just him I front of me right now, him and me in our own little world.
And I love it.
And I hate it.
And I don’t understand it for one second.

This book is going to spark some real emotions in you! Each chapter begins with Cali’s poetry. It is true, it is raw, and it is heart wrenching. Cali does a lot of growing up in this book, and she comes to a lot of realizations along the way. She spends the majority of her time placing blame for something on everyone else around her, including the person staring back in the mirror. That is the thing about a selfish act though. There is no one to blame but the one person you can’t blame. How do you blame someone who can’t defend themselves? What would be the point?

~ Sometimes saying nothing
is easier than facing the truth

Rather than accept the situation for what it is, and accept that sometimes you don’t always get answers to what you want to know, Cali just hates everything. Everyone is against her, everything is fake, and she is the worst of them all, besides Logan. When Cali finally lets her walls down, that is when things really start to happen. You can only fight someone for so long before you break free. There are no harder truths to face that the ones staring right back at you. It is hard to see what is right in front of you, so you spend all your time running away from it.

~ I know like I know that I will wake up in the morning or that the moon will return again tomorrow night, that what I’m feeling for Logan Waters is real.

Logan is such an old soul. Cali’s brother was his best friend growing up, and together, they were the Three Muskateers. He wears his emotions on his sleeve, but at the same time hides them very well. Or maybe we just weren’t looking hard enough. All he has ever wanted was the love of someone special, and to be able to win back her trust. Like Cali, he is filled with guilt, again, over something that was out of his control.

~ And that’s the thing about love: no matter how hard you search, no matter how hard you run, sometimes, just sometimes, true love is right in front of you all along.

I just loved everything about this book. I could read it over and over again. This is the first book I’ve read from this author, but they have made a fan for life! After reading this book, you will walk away feeling renewed. Renewed in the human spirit, renewed in life, and renewed in love.

~ You know, when you really think about it, sometimes love is like poetry. It doesn’t always make sense, and it sure as hell isn’t ever simple, but it’s always there, and it’s in the individual to find it.

4 stars!

Easy, funny, light and clean read. I liked both MC. They were funny and weird but in one of those cool ways. I just wish we could of seen more into the relationship with West's dad, I liked the way things had started to go and would of like to seen more development, to see if things stayed that way.

At first this one started off a little slow for me but picked up fairly quick and once it did I couldn't put it down.Even though it was a easy read it still had me tearing up at times. But overall good story.… (más)

I had the priviledge of receiving a copy of this last month from L.M.I'm so glad he gave me the opportunity to read and review this book.
Everyone knows I am a very BIG HEA Addict. This book has such a great HEA it was truly amazing.

This was a sweet, fun read, with romance and vanilla Ice cream with rainbow sprinkles. You will have some bouts of laughter with this book for sure. This book is clever, witty, and hilarious. I couldn't get enough of how great it was, especially when the characters were talking to each other. their name calling of each other in a good way, the banter back and forth. They truly were two best friends.

I loved the way West and Cat developed together from friends into more then friends. Nothing about this book was predictable. The banter back and forth was great. They truly acted like they wanted in public and did not care what other people thought about them at all. They just got each other and it was so real, every last bit of it.

"We can be friends for now. But West Ryder, if you think this means I won't fight for you with every last breath I have, you're in for a hell of a surprise."

“I fell in love with you, and that changed everything.”


“But let me tell you, West, no matter what happens, no matter where you go, I will also always be in love with you. And you don’t have to love me back. Hell, you don’t need to ever talk to me again. Will I be hurt? Yes. Will I want you back? Yes. But it will all still be worth it, because you have made it worth it. Because loving you has made it worth it.”


“I love you, West Ryder,” Cat finally says, “because you’re you. Because you’re smart and funny and weird and so goddamn charming”—she smiles distantly—“and you aren’t afraid to be you. I love you because we mesh, because you’re weird and I’m weird and we’re all weird together. When I’m around you I can’t stop smiling and yeah, that’s incredibly cheesy, but it is entirely true. I love you because I feel lonely when I’m not talking to you, not with you. I love you, West, because you are the one for me.”


“I’m scared too, you know,” she breathes, and her lips just linger there, in front of me, “but I’m ready to risk it because I know, deep down, that no matter what, I won’t stop loving you.”

I’m always here for you. No matter what.

I know that I, West Ryder, am in love with my best friend.
