Gus
By
Kim Holden
The journey that began in top-rated, best-selling Bright Side, continues
...
This is the story of Gus.
Losing himself.
Finding himself.
And healing along the way.
“ … but the honest-to-God truth is I don’t even know how to function
anymore. Bright Side wasn’t only my best friend; she was like my other half ...
the other half of my brain, the other half of my conscience, the other half of
my sense of humor, the other half of my creativity, the other half of my heart.
How do you go back to doing what you did before, when half of you is gone
forever?”

My 5 star review
This book was
amazing. I can honestly tell you that I was nervous to read this book at first.
Why you ask...well it is because Bright Side was such an amazing book that I
feared for the Author when she released Gus. Please don't miss understand me I
have 100% faith in Kim Holden, I truly do. But when you have a 20 star book
like Bright Side it is kind of hard to top that.
Well let’s just say
that she topped the shit out of Bright Side in a totally different way, that it
is too hard to sit here and lie to you and tell you that one is better than the
other. I can't do that and I sure as hell aren’t going to lie to you.
Gus is every word
imaginable wrapped in one. He is a smartass, sassy, amazing, loving, kind,
gentle, harsh, cocky, normal, funky, funny, and different. Now please keep in
mind that I feel hard for Gus in Bright Side BUT now I am completely obsessed
with him now. He is one of those characters that you just hope and pray the
author will not break your heart. Or leave you with no fingers nails and a
broken kindle when you are finished reading it.
No this book will
take you on a journey and not just anyone’s journey, Kim Holden will take you
on Gus's journey. His journey of heartbreak and self-destruction....and so much
more. I will tell you to get some tissue and yes even a glass of wine. Because
when he listens to Bright Side's recording I was crying so hard I was looking
for a damn brown paper bag to breathe into.
Then when you least
expect it Kim introduces us to Scout. Scout is coolest book character ever!
Why...well because she is! She is feisty and adorable as hell. Plus she uses
the shit out of Post-its....Hello...that is so me!
I want to go into
detail and tell you everything that I know about this book but I don’t want to
ruin it for anyone out there who has not picked up this book yet. I for one am
pissed off that it took me so long to read this book.
To Kim Holden...Thank
you so creating two beautiful touching stories. You did it outside the box and
you rolled with it and I loved every single word. I got the pleasure of meeting
her in Ohio this year and I can tell you that she is incredible and she is
truly loved by all of her readers. So again thank you for giving us Bright Side
and Gus. I can tell you that these two characters will now and forever hold a
very special place in my heart. Thank you!
