Night Sky [Kindle Edition]

Jolene Perry (Author)

Book Description

After losing Sarah, the friend he’s loved, to some other guy, Jameson meets Sky. Her Native American roots, fluid movements, and need for brutal honesty become addictive fast. This is good. Jameson needs distraction – his dad leaves for another woman, his mom’s walking around like a zombie, and Sarah’s new boyfriend can’t keep his hands off of her.

As he spends time with Sky and learns about her village, her totems, and her friends with drums - she's way more than distraction. Jameson's falling for her fast.

But Sky’s need for honesty somehow doesn’t extend to her life story – and Jameson just may need more than his new girl to keep him distracted from the disaster of his senior year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Night Sky Connects April 3, 2012

By Betsy Haynes

Format:Kindle Edition

Seldom does a romance told from the guy's point of view work for me. But Jameson's voice rang so true to me in Night Sky that I wanted this to come off as a poignant experience told by a truly nice guy. Someone average readers could relate to. I wanted him to work things out. I wanted him to come out on top. To learn to be honest with himself and everyone around him. To stand up on his own two feet. And finally to understand all that. I wanted his struggles to ring true, and they did - in a unique and moving way.

I loved that all three of the main characters were kidding themselves and keeping secrets. I loved they way they had to face their own realities. Sky was especially appealing, trying so hard to be something she wasn't. Even Jay's parents had to come to terms with what was fact and what was fantasy.

Perry has more to say here than just spinning a good story. She has a way of reaching readers where they live and convincing them that they are not alone. Great job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book....hard to put down February 29, 2012

By Gina

Format:Kindle Edition

I read this book for Tribute Books.

I loved this book. It was so real, you could actually feel the emotions of the characters.

Everyone says they want honesty in our relationships. Doesn't matter what kind of relationship it is. How often though to we expect others to be honest, when we are not being totally honest ourselves?

I loved to see how all of the characters matured and dealt with hard issues maturely. Jameson has a rough senior year to say the least.

The two girls Jameson likes are as different as you can be. I enjoyed seeing him come to terms on his own to figure out who/what he wants.

I highly recommend this book. It's a fast read. I read it in about a day.

4.0 out of 5 stars Coming-of-age from a guy's persepctive - good story May 4, 2012

By K. Herbrand

Format:Kindle Edition

This was a very gentle coming-of-age story for Jameson, or Jay, as most of his friends called him. Now I don't mean gentle in the way that means there was no conflict. I don't think you can really have a coming-of-age story without conflict, and some of the things that Jay deals with are some pretty weighty issues. I mean gentle in that it flowed smoothly from the beginning of the story. I became invested in the characters pretty quickly, and liked the interaction between Jay and Sky.

What really made Night Sky interesting for me though, was that it was a romance, from a guy's perspective. Jameson was actually able to be sensitive and have real feelings without being too sappy. I liked the way that he stepped up for his mom when she was hurting, and recognized that she might need some extra help with his dad gone. He also tried to be loyal to his friend Sarah, even when she and her new boyfriend Eric were practically in his face a lot.

And then there was Sky. She is a neighbor's granddaughter from Alaska, whom Jay meets quite by chance. She is a freshman at the local college, but hits it off almost immediately with Jameson. The only things she asks of him is for complete honesty. The problem with complete honesty is that it means you have to be completely honest with yourself as well.

I enjoyed this book. It wasn't a heavy read even though it dealt with some heavy subjects. I think the focus though was on how we get through the bad stuff and come out on the other end, which gave it a very positive spin.
