Publisher's summary

Bloomsbury presents Call It What You Want by Brigid Kemmerer, read by Julie Rogers and Christopher Ragland.

New York Times best-selling author Brigid Kemmerer pens a new emotionally compelling story about two teens struggling in the space between right and wrong.

When his dad is caught embezzling funds from half the town, Rob goes from popular lacrosse player to social pariah. Even worse, his father’s failed suicide attempt leaves Rob and his mother responsible for his care.

Everyone thinks of Maegan as a typical overachiever, but she has a secret of her own after the pressure got to her last year. And when her sister comes home from college pregnant, keeping it from her parents might be more than she can handle.

When Rob and Maegan are paired together for a calculus project, they’re both reluctant to let anyone through the walls they’ve built. But when Maegan learns of Rob’s plan to fix the damage caused by his father, it could ruin more than their fragile new friendship....

In her compulsively listenable story-telling, Brigid Kemmerer pens another captivating, heartfelt novel that asks the question: Is it okay to do something wrong for the right reasons?

A Contemporary Robbin Hood retelling

It was an interesting idea, but with a few flaws here and there.
Though the beginning and the ending of the book were fast-paced and interesting, somewhere around the middle the story felt flat and the twists sort of predictable.
Still, I enjoyed this book very much and I can’t wait to read more of Brigid Kemmerer’s novels.

Pretty Good

I have enjoyed previous Brigid Kemmerer books, but I never fell in love with them. Until now! I went into this one not expecting much and ended up really loving it. This story deals with so many serious issues. Be aware there are triggers for infidelity, suicide, cheating scandals, lost friendships, forgiveness, pregnancy issues, and more. I think some books throw in so many issues that they are lost or just overwhelming within the story. Even with everything that is tackled within this story, I never felt like that. The author did a great job intertwining them all and making them all work together. Overall, I really enjoyed this one!

Stunning surprise

This is my first book by Brigid Kemmerer and I sincerely hope it is not my last. The storytelling in this novel is masterful and I can only put it down to a gifted author plus great editing. Some touching and well-handled Robin Hood themes, highlighting the gray areas of morality and the impact of the choices we make as parents.

Julie Rogers and Christopher Ragland do a lovely job.

I like the story but

I like that Brigid includes family a lot in her stories.
I like how Christopher Ragland narrated the story, he did a really good job.

What I didn’t like is that I wanted more. I feel that the epilogue was super rush, I mean they did explain everything, I finished the book without any doubts but I would have love to have a whole chapter ( the final one) explaining into more detail what happened later.

And I would love to had seem more of Megan and Rob relationship.

The story was so good that I left wanting more.
On a side note: I love Owen, love the librarian and the Taco guy, I felt so bad for Robs father and believe or not I also felt bad for Stupid Connor.

With that I say: Good ahead and enjoy the book :)
