Let me first confess me incredible love and fangirly adoration for Heather Demetrios. She is an incredible eclectic writer and she can write both funny but heartwarming YA Contemporary (Something Real), but also deep and amazing YA Paranormal (Exquisite Captive). Of course, I couldn’t get my grabby hands soon enough on her newest YA Contemporary I’ll Meet You there! And I just knew I would love it!!
Emotionally raw and sometimes excruciatingly honest!
What makes this story stand out is that it will not spare you, nor does it spare the characters. There is Josh who was once the Golden Boy at High School and now came back from the war with a missing leg and who lost so much more in this war. He came back broken and now needs to find a way to go on with his life. His story completely broke me, and reading his chapters were so raw that it left my heart raw with him.
I love how Heather Demetrios didn’t just glorify Josh as a character but rather showed us a young man who lost so much and now needs to find something to life for before he drowns in his own sorrow.
It’s relationships that save you – if you let them!
This is a story of loss, grief but of course also hope and healing and how two people try to beat the odds. Sky was a wonderful girl, but also not perfect and came with flaws and issues on her own. She’s not only the saviour but also needs someone to save her as well. How Josh and Sky forced their issues together was beautiful but of course also sometimes heartbreaking to see. In their hearts, they are both fighters, yet some of this spark got lost along the way and together they gave each other the strength they needed!
Heather Demetrios created some truly complicated and complex character and I followed their story with lots of joy and heartbreak.

Bottom Line
I’ll Meet You There by Heather Demetrios is a beautifully complex and deep story about love, loss, grief and finding the strength to move on and face your demons. It’s sometimes excruciatingly real, but this made this story even better as Heather Demetrios neither spared her characters nor us a readers! Thank you so much for this story!
I always need hope in books that are filled with so much angst and need, are you the same? Have you read Heather’s other books? If not, I cannot recommend them enough – she definitely is an outstanding writer and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!
Also, I have Heather on the blog soon for our Love Letter Event, so make sure to come back and read her “Love Letter!
