Living Out Loud #4
Runner
He's not staying.
A broken trust, a new town, and a new girl. Eli’s moving on.
For Eli, trust has always been of the utmost importance. First, his dad broke his trust, and now Kass. With his mom gone, Eli has nothing holding him to Bentley, Oregon when he receives an offer to work in a recording studio just outside of L.A. It’s a bonus when his high school crush turns up in the same small town. Maybe she’ll help him get past his ridiculous obsession with Kass.
When Kass finally frees herself from her captors in Croydon and returns to Bentley, it’s too late to regain Eli’s trust. He’s gone, and when she finds out who he’s with, she guards her heart with a new kind of zeal. She’s always suspected deep down that she wasn’t good enough for Eli, and he’d eventually move on to someone else. Now he has.
Separated by a full day’s drive and a slew of reasons why they shouldn’t be together, is there any hope for Kass and Eli?
Hit the road with Eli in Track Four of the Living Out Loud Series.

So much is going on in Runner, so much has happened. Both Eli and Kass have ran from one another for so long and are still fighting what everyone else see's. I really love Sabastian's character in this book, I feel like we see a new side of him, even if its not as much as what we've seen in previous books. I still hate Taylor and what she's done to Eli. However, I feel like she's brought Kass and Eli back to somewhere close to where they need to be. Both Eli and Kass are hurting, but so much is looking up for them. Denise Jaden has really outdone herself with this series, the world she has built with Eli and Kass.

Do you remember back when you were a kid? Blissfully riding your bike around the neighborhood without a care in the world when suddenly the chain slips. You peddle your little heart out just hoping a link will miraculously catch on a tooth of the cog. You try switching gears. Sometimes you get lucky and it does catch, but the peddling is either too fast or too difficult. You get off your bike and try to force the chain back into place. The cog bites your finger, the chain leaves a greasy residue. Realization then hits you. The chain needs to be gently guided onto the cog. The timing needs to be perfect. The two parts will mesh when the time is right.
Eli knows where he wants to be. He knows who he wants to be with, but self-doubt leads him to a different cog. He talks himself into believing this new life is the one he is supposed to be living. Personally, I wanted to knock some sense into his teenage head, but I just had to sit back and hope he’d figure things out.
Kass knows who she wants to be with, but she needs to finish dealing with the consequences of her previous foolish decision. She’s reached out to him, but their worlds aren’t ready to mesh yet. When she’s finally able to search for him, circumstances bring about another round of self-doubt.
Again, I am truly loving this saga. The “will they” or “won’t they” has been driving me crazy. I simply cannot wait to get my hands on Track Five!!
