Overall Towards the second half of the book, it shifts and it everything just gets super intense. He is just so sweet and caring and is always there for Ember. I didn’t want him to be super perfect and he wasn’t. Full Measures is told from Ember’s POV, but Josh has the perfect balance of Hero, Jerk and Cave-man tendencies. She forgets her wallet and Josh is there to pay for her. Her brother wants her to get a cake for her birthday and so Ember goes to the store and buys cake. Ember is just heart-broken, but she keeps herself together for the sake of the family. When she finds out her dad dies, you just FEEL FOR HER! You want to wrap her in your arms and tell her that everything is going to be okay. Oh MY GOD, I LOVE A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS, yet STRONG Heroine story line! Ember I adore Ember. It’s not easy for Ember to take on her Mom and Dad’s shoes, she’s still in school, still has friends and still has a boyfriend, but Josh Walker, Ember’s old high school crush, seems to always be there to help her when she’s having a rough day. Despite Ember’s pain, she steps up to take care of her family.

Her mom is too distraught to function, her younger teenager sister is rebelling like crazy and her seven year old brother needs someone to take care of him. It was light, but sad, amazing and not what I expected On Ember’s twentieth birthday she lost her Dad and her world was turned upside down. Complete Book Review: 5 Endearing Stars Reading Full Measures was like finding a lost gem in a sea of stones. You can feel Ember through Carly and it just made the audio listening experience better. There are some dramatic points during the read and oh boy you felt for her. I would love to have listened to Josh’s POV, but Carly did a good job. I do a re-read with my favorite books and this is my first book narrated by Carly Robins. I liked how the beginning kind of connected with the ending. Every scene and every moment was there for a reason. I think Josh and Ember’s dynamics were pretty intense, which makes sense because they re-met under a stressful situation. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I love how Josh and Ember first meet and she didn’t have money to buy her own birthday cake! I was so sad and cute at the same time.

You feel her pain, her emotions and even confusion. I loved reading Ember’s emotions while she found out her father died. He had this crazy balance of sweet and sexy confident male. I loved how he was always there for Ember, but he didn’t let Ember jerk him around. Yarros created such a sexy, yet lovable Hero. Sometimes you want to fall for the nice guy, the guy that is always there, and the guy that can bring a smile to your face. If you could sum up Full Measures in three words, what would they be? A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS, yet STRONG Heroine storyline
