Title: Knowing Augustine Urban

Author: Hermyne Khaling

Sweeter than honey.

More delightful than sin.

_______________________________

Augustine Urban does not have time for some stupid romance or anything else that doesn't sound practical or real in any sense. His life, his days, his nights, his thoughts, are all for his siblings and his matches in the MMA underground fight club.

On the other hand, we have Sophia Swann, an aspiring writer, who has all sorts of fantasies running wild in her head. To Augustine, she's nothing but a distraction.

Augustine is doing exceptionally well looking after his siblings. And he wants nothing more than keeping his family well, keeping his life on track... but, what will happen when this certain fantasizing girl pops out of nowhere and challenges his sanity?

There's almost nothing in common between these two creatures except their hard-headed and their will to fight through every shit that life has to give them, their will to achieve their dreams.

Will Augustine still have the grip and control over his own reality?

But with Sophia, you never know what the next thing could be.

I started reading Knowing Augustine Urban  a looong time ago. Hermyne has always been one of my favorite authors on Wattpad, and I was excited to read another one of her works. Unfortunately, as I have been away from the Wattpad community for quite sometime now, I completely forgot about this book. After finding it in my library again, I decided to give it another go. This time the book was completely finished so I didn't have to wait for updates (I'm impatient, can you tell?) and I was ready to speed-read all the way through. A little while after restarting the book, I was hooked. August and Sophia are two very different people but have small similarities in the way they act around people they love. Sophia is witty and humorous along with a classic sweet personality. August's family are very endearing and are written to be humble and loving supporting characters. My favorite moment from the book (me trying not to give out spoilers is becoming increasingly hard) was in one of the very last chapters in the hospital. It was written beautifully and portrayed the love and loss of relationships. 

This is definitely one of my longer reviews, because this book deserved it! Congrats to Hermyne for breaking my heart again with a wonderful book!
