I love reading a story through the eyes of a teenager it makes me remember the times where things were easy yet you struggled so much with decisions that needed to be made. I think that Sarah Schofield really stepped out with this one and it was a really good book. I also love the idea that Eliana understood the life of being a military brat. I am not sure that she was much of a brat herself but it was a pretty good book.

Solo was incredible! I could not put it down. It's perfect for a quick read which is still very touching. I found I really cared about the characters and what happened to them. I could really relate to the main character. Overall, the story is beautifully written and the characters are well developed. Although, Solo focus high school students it is still an excellent read for those who have finished high school. I would highly recommend reading Solo. ( )
