It is quite rare when I love family in young adult novels. Oz can be a hard head at times but that’s because he cares so much about his family that if anyone messes with them he wants ‘revenge’ in a way.Įmily and Oz come to together when, Emily and her family arrive in snowflake after an email from her biological father, which invites them to her grandmother’s wake.

He is caring, loving and would do anything for his family. Oz is quite different from other Katie McGarry book, his family isn’t that dysfunction, and he loves them to pieces. She is timid but stands up for what she believes is right, Emily seems one dimension the outside but once you dig deeper into the book, you see that she has many layers to her.

Emily is shy however has a devious side to her. Nowhere but Here follow like all McGarry books two protagonist and I love them both. I don’t want to see your mother’s fears turn into chains that drag you down” Fear can be handed down generationally, kind of like eye colour. “Our fears are what strifle us and we’re only scared of what we don’t understand. Let me just say this, I want to have physical copies of all her books but I have no money and I want to cry and just, frustrating but anyway back to the review. It was brilliant and different to other McGarry books but still has the emotions and intriguing writing style of McGarry. But when I saw Nowhere but Here on Netgalley I requested it right away because come one, anything Katie McGarry writes is pretty awesome. If you know me well, you would know that I love Katie McGarry and I haven’t even read all her books yet. I received an e-copy of Nowhere but Here in exchange for an honest review from Harlequin (Australia), TEEN through Netgalley, this has in no what influenced my review. But sometimes the right person is the one you least expect, and the road you fear the most is the one that leads you home. What he doesn’t count on is that Emily just might turn that dream upside down.

So when her father asks him to keep her safe from a rival club with a score to settle, Oz knows it’s his shot at his dream. And while Emily-the gorgeous and sheltered daughter of the club’s most respected member-is in town, he’s gonna prove it to her. Oz wants one thing: to join the Reign of Terror. Not the club, not her secret-keeping father and not Oz, a guy with suck-me-in blue eyes who can help her understand them both. But when a reluctant visit turns to an extended summer vacation among relatives she never knew she had, one thing becomes clear: nothing is what it seems. Sure, she’s curious about her biological father-the one who chose life in a motorcycle club, the Reign of Terror, over being a parent-but that doesn’t mean she wants to be a part of his world. Seventeen-year-old Emily likes her life the way it is: doting parents, good friends, good school in a safe neighborhood.
