The Perception of Reality (Perception #1-2) by Shandi Boyes – Review by Shannon Fowler

The Perception of Reality by Shandi Boyes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Perception of Life: 4 stars

What did I just read…

This first part felt like I had read it before, it felt vaguely familiar. Maybe I have read another story like this one but then I got about half way through and I knew this story was nothing like anything I had read before. It starts out just how you would think a story about a young rising rock star and the love of his life would be. Good times and rough times getting to know each other and trust each other and just survive without each other. Crazy fans and crazier paparazzi.

This story will have you laughing out loud, rolling your eyes, breathing a sigh of relief and swooning when-ever Noah enters the scene. Page after page of wondering and assuming what could happen…but then something totally different happens! The ending is what leaves you asking why Shandi? Why?

Reality of Life 10 stars!!

Readers’ tears are not that great!! Oh the heart break!! What have you done Boyes!! What. Have. You. Done. What a great twist!!

Part two of the Perception of Reality is the Reality of Life! The realization that you must go on when something tragic happens. The realization that life is not always rainbows and unicorns. The realization that sometimes not everything is as it seems.

Readers are advised to have their tissues ready for the first half of this book for their tears and then be ready for your mouth to be hanging open for the remainder of the book! This story is fast paced in a slow motion, this can’t be happening kind of way.

The story continues right where it left off in book one. Noah is almost too good to be true, but then again that is what makes him the perfect book boyfriend! And Emily…oh Emily. The realization that these two have to go through so much turmoil is heartbreaking. But thankfully Boyes pulls it all together and mends our hearts in an unbelievable way.

WAY TO GO SHANDI!! Highly recommended!
