Fictional Husbands: Callum McGregor

So last day of this week and this is the final Fiction Husband post!

But good news my lovelies;  due to the success of this week's Valentines daily posts of Fictional Husbands I've decided to keep it as a feature here and though I can't say it'll be a regular feature just yet, I am to have Fictional Husband post pop up now and then.

Today's is a more unusual one because I hadn't really considered him a Fictional Husband candidate before but with all these choices this week I've been going over my book shelves and realised he was perfect for it so today's FH is


Callum McGregor from Noughts and Crosses by Marolie Blackman

Firstly I recommend this series to everyone because it's so well written and is one of those books that really sticks with you.  It's haunting, touching and the characters and raw and honest.  Love LOVE LOVE this series.  I was lucky enough to get the whole set a few years ago when I did work experience at the wonderful Random House Children's Books Office in the Publicity Dept and at the end of the two weeks they told me to basically take whatever I wanted from the shelves.  I had a VERY full bag. It was just before Double Cross came out so I'd been hearing a great deal about the series in the office and so took copies of the 1st 3 books and read them all in about a week.

Callum is brave, opinionated and strong minded but the bare bones of his character is just a boy that wants to be with the girl he loves.  His world revolves around Sephy and their world revolves around the barriers between being a Nought and being a Cross.  They're paths are so inter twinned that it's hard to believe that they won't be in each others lives for good or bad and yet the story keeps you guessing.  He is a fighter in so many aspects that his passion makes his very easy to love as a Fictional Husband!  Someone with a strong mind and a strong heart can make you weak at the knees!

I kinda don't want to say too much about Callum because I would rather just leave u a taste for him and then you go and buy the book or check it out in your local library.  It's something everyone should read.  Trust me when I say that his character, his relationships and my love for him is much more complicated because of the context and the world this story exists in.  The lines of love and hate, good and bad, right and wrong is very blurred and a matter of opinion and I decided to add Callum as my last Fictional Husband because of this.  Love isn't clear cut and simple just like Callum and Sephy's relationship; there are ups and downs but can be worth fighting for.

ENJOY!
