New Release+Review: On The Way To You by Kandi Steiner
Publishing Date: November 16th, 2017
What makes you happy?
That was the question Emery Reed asked me the day we met, and I couldn’t give him a single answer. I could have said my dog, or my books, or yoga — but I just stared.
And then, I got in his car.
It was crazy to take a road trip with a stranger, but after years of standing still, he was my one-way ticket to a new life, and I wasn’t going to miss it.
We shared the same space, the same car, the same hotel room — and still, we were strangers.
One day we’d be laughing, the next, we wouldn’t speak. Emery was surrounded by impenetrable walls, but I wanted in.
Discovering his journal changed everything.
I read his thoughts, words not meant for anyone’s eyes, and the more I learned about him, the harder I fell. It turned out nothing made Emery Reed happy, and I wanted to change that.
I earned his trust by violating his privacy, and as wrong as it was, it worked — until one entry revealed a darkness I never knew existed, a timer I never knew was ticking.
Suddenly, what made me happy was saving Emery from himself. I just didn’t know if I could.
Weightless, Revelry and now On The Way To You are stories that once I finished by this author I have sat back and did a lot of self reflection. Steiner has a way creating words that touch my soul. A lot of the topics in this story hit close to home because I have a dear friend in this situation. I’m so happy the author wrote about a subject matter that often gets overlooked and has such a horrible stigma associated with it as well. Cooper and Emery are introduced to each other while both of them are at a crossroad. Cooper despite be given a cruddy hand at life has chosen to be optimistic and has such a positive attitude. Emery is going through his own struggles and is taking one day at a time trying to find his light. I loved how Cooper was the light to Emery’s darkness and she made him want to keep fighting. I did have a little trouble connecting with Emery but despite that I still enjoyed this story and it’s message. This is the kind of story that will make you look deep within yourself and ask are you living or just existing? Well done, Kandi Steiner.*ARC Review*
