Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas ~ Release Blitz w/ Review & GIVEAAWAY

5 STARS 

 

 

Awe, absolute awe. Pen is truly gifted in the world of teenage steam and angst. I tell you if sex was this hot, my highschool experience would have so much more enjoyable..lol. 

 

He’s a rebel, she’s quirky at least that is what they thought when they became pen pals in the fifth grade. But the fear of being alone turned Ryen into that girl in highschool that most people hate, except for the elite. She is mean and spiteful. Not at all the girl Misha thought she was. On paper they are soul mates. But reality is never the same as what we make ourselves out to be. “When the music stops and everyone goes home? When the day is gone and she doesn’t have anyone to entertain herself with? When she removes her makeup, taking off her brave face for the day, do the demons she keeps buried start playing with her when there’s no one else to play with? I guess not. Narcissists don’t have insecurities, right?”

 

A wonderful look at Ryen and Misha. The way life changes and shapes us. How being who we want to be collides with who we have to be. Heartache and tragedy shape who we become. True friends stay, real friends understand. Every has ugly hidden somewhere inside. Some use it to hide the secrets they don’t want the world to know, some let it bleed out and make everyone’s else’s world ugly. 

 

When the time comes to stand or kneel, the real Ryen will stun you and have you clapping saying “yay”! With out of this world steam and a great storyline this will quickly move to the top of your favorite reads of this year! ““I want everything about you, Ryen, and I know you want me.” Her body shakes a little, and I lean in, kissing her on the cheek. “But I love the way you lie.”

 

 

From New York Times Bestselling Author, Penelope Douglas, comes the latest New Adult romance of love, hate, and everything in between…
 
“We were perfect together. Until we met.” 
 

Misha

I can’t help but smile at the lyrics in her letter. She misses me.

In fifth grade, my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student, Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed.

It didn’t take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever…

And that was the start. For the next seven years, it was us.

Her letters are always on black paper with silver writing. Sometimes there’s one a week or three in a day, but I need them. She’s the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.

We only had three rules. No social media, no phone numbers, no pictures. We had a good thing going. Why ruin it?

Until I run across a photo of a girl online. Name’s Ryen, loves Gallo’s pizza, and worships her iPhone. What are the chances?

F*ck it. I need to meet her.

I just don’t expect to hate what I find.

Ryen

He hasn’t written in three months. Something’s wrong. Did he die? Get arrested? Knowing Misha, neither would be a stretch.

Without him around, I’m going crazy. I need to know someone is listening. It’s my own fault. I should’ve gotten his phone number or picture or something.

He could be gone forever.

Or right under my nose, and I wouldn’t even know it.

*Punk 57 is a stand alone New Adult romance. It is suitable for ages 18+.
