First I love the cover, I am huge cover buyer and this cover was super fun! I also enjoyed the story behind this beautiful cover!

A really relaxing read, I giggled a lot of the times. A solid 3 stars, and I would def recommend to my friends!

3.5/5⭐

What a fun surprise, this was an absolute blast!

I honestly had no idea what to expect going in but this was silly, whimsical, touching, and adventurous and I enjoyed it so much. I can't remember the last time I laughed out loud this many times reading a book.

I listened to the audio and I'm honestly not sure I would have enjoyed it as much if I'd been reading it with my eyeballs. There's more than a touch of absurdity to it and somehow the audio lent itself nicely to just getting lost in the hilarity and not taking things too seriously. There's also definitely a manic pixie dream girl quality that didn't bother me as much with the audio as I think it could have.

Overall this was a fun, light, and quick read that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Life has done the dirty on Two Like Me and You. Why, you ask. Well because this is a damn good YA fiction and I don't think enough people know about it. And they should. Because it is damn good.

The story follows Edwin Green as he tries to win his famous ex-girlfriend back. In this brilliant coming of age story Edwin learns about the past, travels the world and maybe breaks a few laws along the way.

I really wish this book was more well known. Chad Alan Gibbs is a brilliant writer and I cannot wait to read more of his work.

Two Like Me and You by Chad Alan Gibbs is available now.

Description
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?

Thank you so much for allowing me to read and review your titles.
I do appreciate it and continue to review books that I get the chance to read.
Thanks again!

This is a really sweet cross-generational story. The characters are complex with their own challenges and agendas. I really loved how they find a way to work together to help this older gentleman find peace with his past. A great read!

I loooved this book. I was shocked by how many times I found myself chuckling at the antics I was reading on the pages. I was sucked right into this action packed comedy that before I knew it, I was finished with the book and left with a wicked book hang over.

There is a lot of out of this world adventures that fit perfectly with the book and make you want to be daring yourself.
I loved the way the characters interacted with one another, they blended so smoothly. And I loved the ending of this book. It was definitely a must have for those who are looking for a funny YA read.

This was a quick read with a great storyline. I enjoyed the majority of the characters, there always needs to be a protagonist, to keep the plot interesting. Parts of the book reminded me a bit of John Green's writing.

This book follows Edwin Green, a normal guy whos ex girlfriend was thrust into fame and everyone can't stop asking him about her and he wishes they would, meeting Parker Haddaway and somehow being convinced to kidnap world war two veteran Garland and take him to France to reunite with his love. He thinks this will help get his ex's attention, but what it really does is attract the attention of the French police, the foreign embassy and the news. This romantic action is followed by theatrics, drama, comedy and a little bit of heartbreak.

It was a nice and refreshing read, nothing overly heavy and nothing overly deep. While some moments were darker than others, it didn't sting the comedy of the writing. Garland by far was my favourite character with his coarse language and even coarser attitude to life. His unwavering love for Madeline that sent him on this quest from the USA to France was my favourite part of the whole book to be honest. This book would have potentially been a favourite except I hated Parker's character. I found her abrasive and unlikable most of the time. But everything else was great!

Two Like Me And You by Chad Alan Gibbs

I have to say I loved this book it kept me on my toes and really made me want to know if they find each other later on!!!! Such a wonderful story about true love never dying and I honestly think it never does!

5 stars!!!

This was a really sweet coming of age book! I also love a book that involves travel and these 3 were a really great trio on this trip, I'd recommend this as a light easy read!

In this entertaining adventure story, Edwin, the main character, finds more than he bargained for on his quest to become famous. After being dumped by his famous ex-girlfriend, Edwin vows to do whatever it takes to get her back. But when he pairs up with Parker Haddaway, the new girl in school, he gets dragged through a whirlwind adventure through Europe that involves a World War II vet and the French police. The storyline wraps up nicely, but you'll have to read it to find out if Edwin becomes famous or attains notoriety.

I rated this 4.5 stars, and the only reason I knocked off the half star is because Parker was so much the manic pixie dream girl trope. However, I really enjoyed her anyway, as well as all the other characters. This book was so refreshing as it didn't focus entirely on the romance plot, and was more of a hilarious adventure with some romantic themes. I really loved the WW2 aspect of it and how Garland told his stories, and thought the plot as a whole was really unique. I'd definitely love to read more from this author.

I received an advanced digital copy of this book from the author, the publisher and Netgalley.com. Thanks to all for the opportunity to read and review. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.

This book is hilarious, laugh out loud funny. A delight to read.

5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommended.

This was cute, fun, quirky, and everything I look for in a YA romance. I loved the integration of the older generation, and this was such a fun adventure.

I loved this book so much, I could hardly put it down. The humour was brilliant, the main characters were awesome, the plot was great, the chapter openers made me laugh, and the ending was pretty heart-wrenching. If you enjoy John Green and Maureen Johnson, you should enjoy “Two Like Me and You.”

You know what? This book really surprised me. I went into it kind of “meh” based on the description of the plot (which, amusingly enough, is a tongue-in-cheek joke made at one point in the book when one of the characters briefly restates what’s going on and the other character responds “Sounds like the plot of a book I wouldn’t read.” I genuinely laughed out loud at that.) So, yeah, my expectations were not all that high going into this book. Boy was I pleasantly surprised!

I loved EVERYTHING about this book. I’ve read some real misses this year, so this was an incredibly welcome surprise. Witty, smart, heart-wrenching, and laugh-out-loud - this book has everything. The writing was just amazing, and the characters were all so likable. Especially Garland. He’s the grandfather we all wish we had.

I can’t sing this book’s praises enough. It’s been awhile since I read such an enjoyable book - one that made me laugh, hope, and cry all at the same time. 5 very enthusiastic stars on this one!

I'm somewhat torn between giving this a 3 star and a 4 star because even though I did enjoy the book, I found it a bit too unrealistic. Like, way too much, at least for me 🙈

The story basically revolves around Edwin Green, who embarks on a journey through France, helping Parker get a new life and Garland find his long lost love. Which seemed very very unlikely to me, and very suspicious. Like, Edwin didn't even know the two of them any well but was all down to help them and break law. Edwin, I know, could be easily convinced. At times, his inner monologue listing things out often just annoyed me. A lot.

I truly felt bad for Edwin because I could relate to his not-breaking-rules persona and also his pain of getting dumped. He was lovely and his worries kept me entertained throughout.

Parker was just - okay. I did not hate her, neither did I love her. I found her very bossy and couldn't connect to her arc.

Garland, on the other hand, I totally disliked him. Don't get me wrong, but I just did not like his character arc at all. He was stupid and silly and just too reckless. Now, I too like and adore reckless characters, but he continuously kept making Edwin uncomfortable. I found him plain rude and unlikable.

I loved the historic premise of the story and the whole setting of Paris. It was vivid and beautiful. The story overall was very entertaining, exciting and kept me on the edge of my seat. I laughed and giggled, and it was full of bittersweet moments. I enjoyed the end more because it wasn't entirely happy but still happy.

Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good heartfelt contemporary with historic touches.
