Ever since Cali's parents told her she would amount to nothing, she has felt entirely inadequate. Friendless and alone, she takes on the mean girl role in hopes it will make her feel better--and Logan serves as the perfect target. He infuriates her with his obnoxiously long lashes, his all too perfect dimpled smile, and his complete lack of personality outside of his intelligence. It doesn't hurt that he's part of the reason her brother is dead, either. So Cali hates him, and he returns the favor. Thus, their prank-filled, insult-driven rivalry is born, and torturing Logan quickly becomes the highlight of her life.
But when Cali's parents set them up on a blind date, she begins to realize Logan might not be as boring as she always thought. He shares her love of poetry, takes a sadistic pleasure in making fun of crepes, and he makes her blush when he calls her smile pretty.
And hey, maybe those long lashes of his aren't that obnoxious after all…
Two Roads is New Adult Romance about finding love, standing out, and learning to embrace who you are. It contains some language and mild sexual content.

Review
This story far exceeded my
expectations. I kept expecting to get to a part that I didn’t love and was
bored… and I never found it. It’s a slow building relationship, but not a slow
story. It moved at the perfect pace without rushing unnecessarily or dragging
out parts that didn’t need to be dragged out. There were parts that I thought, “oh!
I know how THIS is going to play out,” and then found out that I had no idea at
all.
The author did a
phenomenal job incorporating different ways people deal with grief while not
making the book overly heavy. There was a lot of heartfelt emotion throughout
the story, but I never felt like my emotions had been totally ravaged. I
laughed a LOT throughout the entire story. Seriously, the pranks these
characters pulled on each other were hysterical. I think I’d like to be friends
with the writer of this story considering I love a good prank, myself.
I know that I will be
adding L.M. Augustine to my list of ‘must read’ authors. I enjoyed the story
and really thought he did a phenomenal job!

Excerpt
I start to step inside, to act normal and ask how her day was or
whatever, when I nearly fall flat on my face.
Because the whole floor is filled with plastic cups.
Hundreds of plastic cups.
All in a line, all filled to the top with lemonade, all right in
front of me.
I hold my breath, gasp, and nearly have a heart attack as I look
around the room. There is not an inch of actual floor not covered by
cups.
And then, immediately, I know who is behind this. My face
flushes. Logan.
That bastard is so in for it.
