Author: Charlie M Matthews
Genre: New Adult
Scott Jenkins is charming, smooth, full of ambition and he has plans. Plans that don't involve being a 19-year-old builder, working long hours at his father's construction company, hauling wheelbarrows or stacking bricks in an underpaid job. But as with most things in Scott's world, the dreams and ambitions he has set himself never really go to plan.
When Scott's best mate, Ethan Walker, hits rock bottom, everything changes overnight. After years of trying to figure out his purpose in life, he now knows what he has to do, and more importantly, who he has to save. Tiptoeing on the outskirts of a world filled with drugs and violence, Scott ends up walking down roads he never even knew existed. What was once a simple life, suddenly seems incredibly complicated - especially with the arrival of a forbidden love who is determined to make things even more difficult for him.
Follow Scott on his journey to Wonderland, where friendships are tested, relationships are destroyed and a dangerous woman leaves the guy who once thought he knew exactly, what he wanted, in the pits of despair.
Author Bio
Charlie M Matthews is a hopeless romantic, lost in her own world of fairytales and adventures. A lover of art and painting, she'd happily hang up her everyday clothes in exchange for a paint smudged shirt. In the confines of her attic room, she is able to create a world that is unlike no other. Mixing fantasy and fiction to generate a piece of work that she could lose herself in.
Charlie is a mum of three, living on the outskirts of Oxfordshire. Born and raised in Reading, she switched the bright lights and traffic jams for a quiet life in the sticks a little over 5 years ago. Between school runs and generally just being a mum, you'll most likely find Charlie at the local hair spa. Flipping through magazines sporting the latest colour craze, or mixing colours and arranging up-do's, sparking her creative side.
With her wild imagination and passion for reading, Charlie stumbled upon a new love.
Writing...
What started as a distraction from the crazy thing that is 'life', soon became all too real. She no longer dreamt, about the day her words would be published for all to see because that day was finally happening.
Review:
**ARC provided by the Author in exchange for an honest review courtesy of Words Turn Me On Book Blog**
Scott Jenkins has plans, plans that don’t involve him being stuck working long hours with hardly any pay at his Dads Construction Company at 19 years old. But as with most things in Scott’s world things don’t exactly go to plan…
While trying to figure out his life’s purpose his world is suddenly tipped on its head and everything he thought he knew changes…
While reading Scott’s story I found myself accompanying him on his journey that dealt with grief, drug addiction, self-destruction and forbidden love. It was certainly an emotive read that left me wanting more. Charlie M Mathews has wrote a wonderfully honest, raw emotive read that will really pull at your heart strings and make you smile all at the same time.
This is the first book I have read in the Wonderland Series, as this is the fifth instalment but certainly didn’t hinder my reading experience.
