    About this audiobook

    Milo is trouble. He lives it, breathes it. He embraces anything that numbs and takes his mind somewhere else, a world where his mother is herself and not just a shell, and his brother didn't almost kill her, severing any relationship they had. But more importantly, Milo drowns out the guilt for leaving his mother and not being able to forgive his brother. He drowns his pride and moves on to another girl and another party, pretending that life isn't moving on around him and he's stuck in the same place. He's stuck in the past and doesn't know how to let go. Maya is trouble. She's done the party scene and has had her fair share of close calls and handcuffs. Not the kinky kind. She's so over it all and fought like hell for that life to let go so she could move on. She now works as a teen counselor. Her life is better, but her life is empty. She has no one but her brother in the whole world left and he's sick with a disease that no medicine can cure.

      Wide Open ReviewWhen this book landed inside my inbox, I was so stoked! I love any Shelly Crane book and Wide Awake was no exception so knowing that Wide Open was Milo's story I was racing home to load it into my tablet. And I will start by telling you that it didn't disappoint! Not for one second. This is a 5 ★★★★★ book all the way!Milo was Mason's younger brother, like I said you learned some of his story in Wide Awake, but not near enough. Milo was so totally swoon-worthy! You spent the entire book cheering for him. He was a determined character, determined to do it al his way until Mila tilted him off his axis. Not knowing or understanding why he was chasing her but soon it became his mission in life to chase her. For him to make her understand that he wouldn't give up on her. And as much as you cheer Milo on you also spend the rest of your time in Mila's corner. They are both so damaged from their past and afraid to let each other in but if they only would they would discover how much they are truly made for one another. I LOVED this book! Will there be another one? HMMm that I'm not sure of but I can say this one Rocked IT!! ★ Jammie
