An Asian Chick & Her Cat Walk into a Book Blog: Without Merit by Colleen Hoover

Not every mistake deserves a consequence.

Sometimes the only thing a mistake deserves is forgiveness.

The Voss family is anything but normal. They live in a repurposed church, newly baptized Dollar Voss. The once cancer-stricken mother lives in the basement, the father is married to the mother’s former nurse, the little half-brother isn’t allowed to do or eat anything fun, and the eldest siblings are irritatingly perfect. Then, there’s Merit.

Merit Voss collects trophies she hasn’t earned and secrets her family forces her to keep. While browsing the local antiques shop for her next trophy, she finds Sagan. His wit and unapologetic idealism disarm and spark renewed life into her—until she discovers that he’s completely unavailable. Merit retreats deeper into herself, watching her family from the sidelines, when she learns a secret that no trophy in the world can fix.

Fed up with the lies, Merit decides to shatter the happy family illusion that she’s never been a part of before leaving them behind for good. When her escape plan fails, Merit is forced to deal with the staggering consequences of telling the truth and losing the one boy she loves.

Poignant and powerful, WITHOUT MERIT explores the layers of lies that tie a family together and the power of love.

5 "With Merit" Stars

As always, Ms. Hoover does it again! Another fantastic read by this author. I can't get enough her work and always enamored by her style of writing. Without Merit will have you so invested in the Voss family's dynamic from page one. I could not put this book down.

Reading the synopsis for this book is enough not to spoil this book, so I won't get in details about it. But I will say, as you read this story, you will feel like you are living through Merit Voss' journey. You'll get her perspective on how she views all the lies, doubts and secrets within her family. And how she deals (or doesn't!) with it.

In the beginning, you aren't quite sure where this story takes you, but then boom...everything comes to surface. It's a surprise twist that will have you seeing each character in a new light.

Again, Without Merit, is an amazing read with powerful message. Ms. Hoover is brilliant at writing YA and getting in the mind of a teen!
