Stray had me from the moment I saw the cover. And, I would like to point out, if you LOVE teen dramas, and are a dog lover, chances are you’re going to adore this book. Like I do. The book has this feel good vibe to it, and it captures you in the first paragraph. It follows the main character Natalie (she knows exactly what kind of dog you are), who is having trouble gaining her mother's trust at age sixteen (but everyone knows, it’s hard for parents to let their children grown up...) as the story develops you will find Natalie falling in love, fast with one of the least likely people. Let's just say she’s not on good terms with him for a while, after he, well, almost killed her dog, Troy, by feeding him chocolate chips. (Bad move, buddy!) But he was younger and didn’t really have much of a clue. Not to mention her best friend, Kirby, seems to have a problem with him. But, will things end well? What happens when Natalie’s mom finds her in a awkward position with a boy that’s staying as a guest in their house? You’ll just have to read this fabulous book to find out, now, won’t you?
