Tour: Two Like Me and You by Chad Alan Gibbs
Review: I don't usually read YA but this book's premise really intrigued me. Our hero who is still getting over being dumped by his famous girlfriend. But the book is more than just that. A history assignment pairs him with a mysterious new student who introduces him to a WWII vet in a nursing home.Edwin Green’s ex-girlfriend is famous. We’re talking cover-of-every-tabloid-in-the-grocery-store-line famous. She dumped Edwin one year ago on what he refers to as Black Saturday, and in hopes of winning her back, he’s spent the last twelve months trying to become famous himself. It hasn’t gone well.But when a history class assignment pairs Edwin with Parker Haddaway, the mysterious new girl at school, she introduces him to Garland Lenox, a nursing-home-bound World War II veteran who will change Edwin’s life forever.The three escape to France, in search of the old man’s long-lost love, and as word of their adventure spreads, they become media darlings. But when things fall apart, they also become the focus of French authorities. In a race against time, who will find love, and who will only find more heartache?
This book was a wonderfully paced adventure that is totally unputdownable no matter what your age.
These are characters you will laugh and cry with as the story goes on.
Totally a great read!
