Blurb: 


When his free-spirited mother decides he’s getting too old for a life on the road with her, sixteen year old Jordan Burke is sent back to live with his stepfather in the quirky town of Possibly, Texas. Jordan hasn’t seen his stepfather in several years, and they don’t exactly hit it off immediately. Left to his own devices, he has nothing to do but familiarize himself with his new home. Almost immediately, Jordan begins to wonder why everyone in the town is so weird, if the graveyard is really haunted, if the lady in the tent on the square can really contact the dead, why the radio station, AMOR, only plays one song all day long, if the church is actually a cult, who’s sending the mysterious love letters to Shirlene that are tacked up on the wall inside the post office, and what the boy with Poliosis is building in the barn down by Susurrus Creek. After a while, Jordan begins to wonder if he’ll ever have all of the answers. Regardless, the town is quite possibly the best place to be.


My review:



 

"Suddenly, it dawned on me that I had been calling everyone in Possibly a “weirdo” and I was being the weirdest of them all."

This book is weirdly perfect, or perfectly weird, I don't know but either way, LOVED IT. 

The writing style and the world building, both typically Chase, but that's what I love in these stories, the uniqueness. The characters, everyone in this little (BIG) book are awesome and you are just rolling with it and accept it. Everyone weird, or is it you that's the only one weird here? Different then your world, but to them it's everyday and it's normal. And different doesn't mean weird, you just have to live it to understand.

"Possibly was weird. And weird was okay. Weird was perfect.
Especially when everyone was allowed to be weird without judgment. Possibly didn’t have to be perfect. It didn’t have to make sense. I didn’t have to understand the town or every Possibilian to simply sit back and go with the flow. Life should be easy; Possibly was easy."

The fun things, the mystery, the weirdness,  everything was fascinating and held my interest. Couldn't put it down and really enjoyed reading it. 
It's not a romance story but it has romantic and cute elements. It's about found family, friendship, acceptance, growing up.

I love Possibly, I'd like to visit ;) 

Ps. The Shirlene letters, ahh. And the ghosts! :D :D
