Skater Boy: A Patchwork House Standalone Kindle Edition
Patchwork House is a boy’s club—a mean boy’s club. They made an exception for Tweetie once, and they’re about to make another, because she’s coming home.
After two years away and one too many broken hearts, Tweetie swore off skaters—but she never expected Flip.
Flip was the most famous skater in the world until he traded his place at Patchwork with the little girl whose life he ruined. Now Tweetie’s all grown up, and one chance encounter brings them together. He knows the right thing to do is disappear before things get ugly, but he was never very good at being good.
She’s back, and so is he—all bets are off. Nothing will stop this bad boy from finally getting his lost girl. They're written in the stars, and it's time she knows it.
The first lesson Flip taught Tweetie was how to fall.
It was also the last thing she remembered when they met again, because she didn’t just fall for him.
She slammed.
Rebels. Misfits. Bad boys who rule the streets. Everyone’s welcome at the worst kept secret in town, just as long as you don’t mind getting your reputation—and your heart—a little dirty.
Welcome to Patchwork House…

Review
"My most favorite thing to read in a book is a hero who pines, and Flip gave really freaking good pine. He pined are years and years. I *felt* his yearning. " Author Julia Wolf
"Man, I am a sucker for bad boys with a heart of gold and MCG gave me exactly THAT." Sonal
"Skater Boy combined so many of my favorite things beautifully into one unique novel. Strong and defiant, yet compassionate heroine. Obsessive alpha male. Angst. The down-to-the-bone, soul-crushing kind of love. The diversity in this book among its characters is one to thrive for. Once Skater Boy was over, I couldn't pick up anything for days." Kris Cant' Even
"I'm not a huge fan of YA books, this one rattled me in a good way. While different from her other books, this one captivated me from start to finish." Jann Goodreads
"It was so different from what I've been reading lately and needed something outside the box." A Hopeless Romantic In Booklandia
"Wasn't a book I was expecting from MCG...This is a huge 5 stars from me and I can see this series being one for the ages." Casey, Goodreads
"I WANT MORE!!!" Keri Loves Books"Bitter sweet. Dark. Romantic. Sad. Gentle. Passionate." Sabina, goodreads

The misfits who live at Patchwork House have a "no girls" rule that is broken the night after a tragedy that changes their lives and they bring Tweetie to live with them. Three rebel gods run the home and become Tweetie's family. Another exiled god, Flip, is always in the shadows, watching out for her. There are so many secrets abounding and Tweetie and Flip's relationship is a series of twisting pathways that go from the past to the present in the telling of this story . Dual POVs help clarify.
The angst in this book is over the top! I LOVE angst! I felt Tweetie's insecurity and pain. I hurt for Flip every time he had to walk away. And the other rebels, King, Daniel, and Romeo, were all fighting their own demons, yet were all so close and took care of each other and the younger kids at their house. If course, Tweetie was their top priority. The connection between Flip and Tweetie could not be denied, no matter how much Flip and the others tried to discourage it. And there was always the love between the 4 guys, broken as it was at times. I was very happy with the way the book ended.
This book was unputdownable and I am looking forward to the next book about King! FIVE FLIPPING STARS!
“You can’t tell a shadow to leave. Even if the shadow is bad, even if the shadow ties you to a past best forgotten.”

Flip & Tweetie were EVERYTHING. This story had me enthralled from the very beginning to the very last sentence.
.
I loved Tweetie’s tom-boy nature & her place as “Princess” of the Rebel God’s of Patchwork House. &&& OH.MY. The rebel gods were my favorite. Every single one of them so unique. I can’t wait for all their stories, but Nate “Flip” is impossible not to fall HARD for. That boy & his protectiveness, provision, & battle against himself ... woof, loved the angst in his journey.
.
If you like slow burn, second chance, witty, & angsty reads...this is one of my favorites for 2019

Let’s start with the positive. I loved the Rebel Gods. They were protective and had the best hearts. Their banter with Tweetie was fun and their reactions to her emotions were very sweet. Tweetie, I had a hard time understanding her situation. There was no social services in that time? How did she survive being homeless at 10 years old?? Then how did she go live with a bunch of teenagers with no adult to be her legal guardian?? But I let it pass because it’s fiction. I went with the flow. I liked how she didn’t make it easy for the guys. Her determination to make it in the skater world. Her love for the guys. I loved all that!!
The fact that Flip is Asian American was the cherry on top. It’s not common to have a mixed hero in the stories, especially Asian ones.
I loved the love story. The yearning, the sacrifices all of the characters made for everyone, really. But I feel like the story dragged. It was slow burn. I normally don’t have a problem with slow burn, but this was frustratingly slow. The situations kept repeating themselves. There was a million almost kisses. It drove me nuts. The internal monologue was repetitive also... so I had to do what I hate to do.......skim through those parts...
I don’t like doing that because I love reading what the author wants to express, but when I start getting bored and don’t see much happening, I start skimming through those words.
But I still have many many questions about these boys so I would def read the next books.

There was such great world building! Awesome intense characters that I want MORE from !! And I can’t wait for the next books in this series !
Tweetie and flips worlds collide at a skate park when they are just kids , obvious that fate brought them together what they don’t know is that day changes everything !
It’s raw and gritty , messy and emotional but their journey is far from over .
The four gods of patchwork house become her family , but they are in for a twisted ride .
This was my first ‘skater’ type book. I loved that it was so different to other sport type books!
There’s a lot of action and even the romance, although very much a slow burn is captivating and the embers burn bright the whole time ! It was so well written !!! Really loved it !!
Tweetie is a very naive, sheltered girl, even though she’s grown up around 3 of the 4 Rebel Gods. These guys keep her sheltered by not having real and proper conversations with her. Every time she asks an important question they either divert the conversation or ignore it altogether. When the events of the accident finally come to light, they still don’t talk properly but at least they finally make sentences. I liked how this was set in the 80’s. The discrimination against ‘their kind’ felt genuine and something I remember when I was a kid.
I’m hoping King actually uses his voice in his book but I look forward to Daniel and Romeos’ stories.
