Caution Recommended for readers seventeen and up for language and mature situations.
Life sucks for orphans Callum Tate and Harper Bailey.
Kicked out of their foster homes because they suffer the 'eighteen disease' with nothing but a hundred dollar check from the government and a pat on the back, they're forced to rely on a system that failed them miserably.
So they sit. They sit inside Social Services, waiting for their social workers to call their names and offer them the miracle they know will never come but they sit anyway because they have nowhere else to go, no other options on their very literal and figurative empty plates.
But as they sit, they notice the other. Although captivated, they each come to the conclusion that life is complicated enough without throwing in a boiling tension that can't ever be acted upon because they're both too busy thinking about where their next meal will come from but when their names are called and both are placed on a year long waiting list for permanent housing, suddenly relying on each other seems like a very viable plan B.
And, oh, how lovely Plan B's can be.
Well, except for the psycho from Harper's past that haunts her and, oh, yeah, there's the little issue that neither of them knows they're in love with the other.
Needless to say, Callum & Harper's life just got a bit more complicated.
“One day, you and I are gonna’ wake up and be alright. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but one day. One day. I promise you.” - Callum Tate
Callum Harper Book One in the Sleepless Series edition by Fisher Amelie Romance eBooks
I don’t understand where all the great reviews came from. The back blurb for the book was actually really good. It pulls you right in, but the story itself is just....not good.From a wildly fantastical plot to over the top main characters whose 18 year old dialogue includes words like gorge and chuckled and sweetheart.
Every single thing they needed fell into place perfectly and yet they stay in a relationship for YEARS without talking about the relationship itself. That is a guy’s fantasy right there— never having to talk about the relationship!
The ultimate let down was the skipping of time because the author apparently had nothing to say about that. Just—not good. Skip this one.

Callum Harper Book One in the Sleepless Series edition by Fisher Amelie Romance eBooks Reviews
I am going to start by saying I should be kicking myself in the rear for not reading this book sooner. After meeting Fisher last year at the Decatur Book Festival, I bought a copy of Callum & Harper with so many intentions. Of course, I got bogged down with so many other needs...Grrrr....I'm not complaining, but man...I missed out on some wonderful beauty with this book for too long.
But, now I have read and absorbed the awesomeness of Callum & Harper. AND boy is this book out of this world GREAT!!!
Right off the bat we meet two fresh out of high school teens that thanks to the craziness of the foster care system are now on their own.....AND homeless. What fate it is that these two meet and in turn become each others life preserve.
I was blown away at what they had to go through day in and day out. Not only that, the series of unfortunate events that seemed to follow them their lives. I was like...Are they ever gonna catch a break??
But no matter the travesty, these two people have a fire and spark in them that knows no bounds. With support of friends, that really become their family, you see Callum & Harper as role models for the pure souls they have.
I physically felt their pain, their joys, their heartaches, and their successes. With dualing POVs of Callum & Harper you were truly able to find yourself wrapped up in their journey....experiencing everything just as they did. Falling in love with Callum...(YEP, NEW BOOK BOYFRIEND!!!!), cheering for better days, hoping for the HEA....These are things that holds you captivated page after page...
Callum & Harper is a book that I believe EVERYONE should read. It is an AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL story that will forever be a piece of your heart....
“One day, you and I are gonna’ wake up and be alright. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but one day. One day. I promise you.”
I can’t even begin to describe how much I love this book. I have a hole in my heart right now, just thinking that I finished this book. I should’ve taken my time, but then again… I couldn’t stop. I was completely in, and I couldn’t get out of Callum’s and Harper’s world, even if I wanted to. Which I didn’t, by the way.
Ok so, we have Harper, and we have Callum. Two complete strangers, who happen to be in the same place, at the same time, Social Services. Yeah, they’ve been kicked out of their foster homes once they turned eighteen, and they now need to face the world on their own. But, what if they didn’t? What if they can take care of each other? They both know how hard it can be, to be on their own. They both know how much life can suck at times, so why not face it together? And right there, after getting through the door, that’s the moment when their life changes. There’s no going back.
“Harper Bailey made me feel like a freakin’ rockstar instead of the nobody I really was.”
Well… wow. I meant what I said before. Every time I think of Callum and Harper, my heart fills with love and joy, but at the same time my stomach drops, because it’s over, because I can’t meet them for the first time again. I am madly in love with these two. Especially Callum. That boy will win anyone’s heart in a second, even less than that.
This is the first book of Fisher Amelie’s Sleepless series. Callum and Harper are two kids who’ve seen nothing but the ugly side of the world. They’ve had to struggle through life, jumping from one foster home to another, having to deal with cruel people all around them. There have been a few small moments of joy in their lives, but nothing enough to make their life a good one.Every time a little bit of their past was revealed, my heart broke a little more. Well, not until they met. Callum and Harper are two characters that if they’re not strong, I don’t know what they are.
“Oh, just that you and I are walking a razor thin line and I’m trying to find out if it’s sharp enough to actually hurt us.”
“Anything can hurt you, Harper. Even things you’re supposed to be able to count on can hurt you.”
This book… well, there’s something particular to it. It is frustrating as hell. It is full with swoon-wrothy moments, in which you’ll die of happiness. Your heart will fill with joy and giddiness, and so much love. But there are moments in which it will break into tiny little pieces, because it’s not easy to deal with the things they had to deal with. And then… well, we have the frustrating moments in which I really wanted to smack some sense into them. I really can’t tell you how beautiful this book is, because there are no words, you’ll just have to trust me and read it.
This is a book about friendship, unconditional love and trust.
This is “the ultimate teasing. The ultimate flirtation.”
You can’t not love it with all your heart.
Harper Bailey. Man, if there’s a girl I love and admire is her. She’s been through so much in her life, but she’s still standing and the most unbelievable thing, she’s still lets herself trust. She found this guy, and she’s incredibly attracted to him, yes, but well beyond that, she sees good. Who can say that and actually mean it? After having to deal with some pretty crappy hand in life… she’s still able to trust, and be good to people, and to love, and to do it unconditionally. That’s amazing. She’s unbelievable.
Now Callum. Oh my Callum!!!!!!!!! I’m trying to think what to say about him and all I can think is… I have butterflies in my stomach. Still. I finished this book yesterday, and I still have the butterflies. He’s the sweetest thing. He’s the kind of guy you can rely on, no matter what. He’s the kind of guy who will see you just the way you are, and accept you just like that. He’s the kind of guy who will always try to see the positive side of everything. He’s the kind of guy you fall instantly, deeply, madly in love with. I loved everything about him.
“All I could hear was Harper, all I could smell was Harper, all I could feel was Harper, all I could see was Harper, all I could taste…was Harper. I would do anything for her. I would die for her.”
I just can’t wait to read Thomas and January. I knooooow it will be perfect.
Thank you Fisher, for giving us these amazing characters. This heartbreaking, and shattering, and beautiful story. Thank you for giving us the chance to fall in love with them. Just thank you.
Oh, and thank you for introducing me to Please Don’t Go by Barcelona. Can you be in love with a song? Because I am deeply and madly in love with it.
“We don’t always get what we want, do we? But then again, sometimes we do.”
I really enjoyed this book - and stayed up until 230am to finish it when I had to go to work the next day! I first read a sneak peak at the end of another book, and I had to buy this book because I was so hooked on Harper and Callum and had to find out how their story ended. I thought the story was great, about how they were both Foster kids who aged out of the system and seeing how they had to deal with all the issues that came up - and most of the time they could not catch a break. I felt like I was on a roller coaster as some of the more intense plot came into play with a person from the past - who happened to be a psychopath. Their feelings for each other were so strong it was a little unbelievable that they never had a real conversation about it and was that typical "misunderstanding" situation - but that's what kept me reading, and it didn't bother me.
As far as negatives for the book. There were some editing issues - and those should be fixed for future readers, but again didn't bother me because grammar is not a pet peeve of mine. The other thing is, as a person born in NYC, and raised a few miles outside, the characters in the book did not speak or act very much like they were in NYC. I was able to get past that and get into the story anyway and focused on Harper and Callum. Overall I thought it was a great story.
I don’t understand where all the great reviews came from. The back blurb for the book was actually really good. It pulls you right in, but the story itself is just....not good.
From a wildly fantastical plot to over the top main characters whose 18 year old dialogue includes words like gorge and chuckled and sweetheart.
Every single thing they needed fell into place perfectly and yet they stay in a relationship for YEARS without talking about the relationship itself. That is a guy’s fantasy right there— never having to talk about the relationship!
