I wasn’t sure what I was getting into with this book. I didn’t
read a blurb or even know what the main characters names were. I went into just
knowing it was a story. What a story it was. It was hopeful and heartbreaking
beautiful all at the same time. It felt real and raw with each word. I didn’t know
Deacon or Shay at the beginning of the story, but at the end I felt like I
watched their emotional roller coaster take its final climb.
Shay was such a strong character at times that you couldn’t help
but love her, but the moments she let you in the quick glances of her pain that
was what drew you in. Deacon… Deacon… At first I thought is he going to be this
nice the whole time. You see, I usually like my men with a little more edge to
them, but the more I kept reading from Deacon the more I fell in love with the
softness that was him.
Where I usually prefer my males to overshadow the females
this book made me realize maybe I just needed to read the right book with a
strong female. The female who may have been broken, but was strong enough to
hold the pieces of other broken people together. She was a force to be reckoned
with whether she was crying or laughing she held the pieces together even when
she didn’t realize it. Ms. Kiden gives us a love story that peels all the
layers back of love.
