"Born for Leaving is a terrific book…I couldn’t put it down (literally! I read it in one day)… wonderful characters in new different situations. Full of laughter and tears… you will never go wrong with a book by Jude Munro… just buy the book and enjoy the ride…"

"Well, I just finished that read in one single sitting when I'd already been up for over 24 hours before starting to read. If that doesn't say it all, I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it any better justice. But I'll certainly try.
This book hit me in every one of my feels. Bodie and Oliver might be two of my favorite characters I've had the pleasure of reading in quite some time. They have such delightfully unique voices—even though this is written in first-person single POV with Oliver as the MC, the dialogue and their various actions and mannerisms were so very well crafted and unique.
They both had heartbreaking backgrounds and trials and tribulations in their present lives, but Bodie broke me. Absolutely shredded my soul. I needed his HEA like there was no tomorrow, and when the black moment hit, I crumbled. I stopped breathing. I almost straight up forgot to breathe.
Overall, this is a highly, highly recommended read, and this author is being added to the tippy top of my follow list."

"This book was super fun and exciting to read.
I recommend it to those who like an opposites attract, good humor, hurt/comfort and a good ole HEA"

"It’s refreshing to read from Oliver’s perspective. He is sarcastic yet honest. It’s so special to have such a dynamic character that frustrates you all the while melting your heart. We feel for Oliver and his broken past. He is relatable in how he protects his heart initially from Brodie. I loved this story. So special, so honest, so relatable. A truly realistic love story."
★★★★★
"Grab your tissues for those painful moments of the past.
Great story from beginning to end. What began as a new-to-me author is now on my list of must reads."
★★★★★
"Have the box of tissues ready, because there will be a few tears for Bodie and Oliver... Born for Leaving is an emotional roller coaster ride of two loners trying to find a way clear of their pasts."
★★★★
"I LOVED BORN FOR LEAVING!!!! Oliver's voice is so relatable and believable! Bodie is the best tortured soul character I've ever read. When they come together it's sweet and sexy. What they have to go through to find happiness is totally torturous (worth it at the end). Best read of the summer so far. Highly recommend!!!!!"
★★★★★
"If you are looking for an extremely sad book, with lonely characters and a tender and deep romance with a lot of drama around, this is your book! Trust me you are going to finish it real quick, this book is addicting and the characters just win your heart, starting with Oliver... And Bodie... God, that tormented soul made me cry more than once. I loved Bodie and adored the way he gradually opens up to Oliver, the way they both learn to know each other and to accept what they are like, to trust their partner's good intentions."
