Live Out Loud (Toronto Collection)

as always I can live vicariously through a great book!

This was a fun read. I enjoyed the characters and I enjoy reading stories about the music industry. I have bought 2 more of Heather Wardells Toronto series books and I am looking forward to reading them also.

As always Heather has written a book that puts you in a position where your life has to stop because you have to know what will happen next... I couldnt put this down and actually read it in one day... I love that her stories never go in the direction you assume but off on a totally different angle... If you are looking for a good read that will make you think what would I do in that situation then make sure you grab this one...

When I first read Planning to Live, I didnt think that I would ever love a Heather-book as much or identify with a character more than Rhiannon. Live Out Loud completely blew me away from the first chapter. It is a beautifully written, eye opening tale of a woman (Amy) torn between living the life she wants and the life she thinks she should want. The truth is, sometimes we dont know how much we want something until its within our grasp and all pretenses are dropped. Misty Will learn to live her dreams, if she can forgive herself and let go of the past.

Ive been reading a few of Wardells books for some light summer reading and this is my favorite so far. The main characters had depth and developed with the story. The storyline was tight and had something interesting going on most of the time. Mistys internal struggles were believable and made me care what happened to her. The ending was satisfying and was what the story was leading up to all along. There was a surprising amount of depth to this one and addressed some tough issues. Amy/Misty also has her own issues to work through and comes shining through with the help of good friends. It is a positive story of overcoming, of discovering and following your dreams.

Ive read the whole Toronto series to date and have enjoyed them. They are fun, easy reads that have a good message of figuring out who you want to be and not who others expect you to be. And of course the predictable romance, but lets be honest thats why we really read these.

First, get a list of her books so you can order them all in a row. I wish I knew where she lives so I could bring her coffee so she can keep writing. Funny and they made me start running again . If you buy you will understand. Five stars.

I love every book written by Heather Wardell. This one was a great journey and entertaining. I loved the growth of the main characters and the style of the writing makes it easy and interesting to read.

Excellent read. Fun, entertaining and I would totally recommend. I have now read most of Heathers Books and have not been disappointed in any of them. I even joined her facebook page and she replied back to my posts. I felt really appreciated as a customer, especially getting a personal reply. Love her.

Have you ever started a book and just couldnt wait to find out what was going to happen to a character? With Live Out Loud by Heather Wardell, I fell in love with Amy/Misty our main character from the beginning and from chapter to chapter I became even more intrigued as to where she was going to go next. From the people that she was surrounded with to those who came in and out of her life, they were unique but shaped this character into the one she became at the end. I always look to the extra characters because I enjoy seeing how they affect a character in both positive and negative ways. I am never a spoiler, but I will say that she ended up with a great guy, but the book didnt just end there. As some girlie books do, once the main character gets the guy, the reader is to find complete happiness in this solution. Wardell didnt end there. She made her characters go through a little more angst before they found complete satisfaction in who they were and what they wanted in life. Isnt that true for all of us? Sure when we get the guy we are happy, but no one is complete with just a relationship, you need more than that to be a whole person. So off my self-motivating rant - this book is worth the read. If you enjoy following a character through self-exploration and being a sideline cheerleader as she finds what is truly important to her.
