“I reached toward her with my open hand. If she wanted it, she could have it. My hand. My heart. My life. She took my hand, and that was enough.”
Hands down, okay, this might be early since it's only March, but this is my top favourite read of 2022.
I couldn't fall in love with it even more.
I don't want to part from it or anything.
This book was just emotionally beautifully, like in a field under the stars shinning beautifully.
From the first chapter, I was already hooked.
I enjoyed that this was a different perspective of an abuse story where the victim is a man.
Although the plotline focusses on the relationship of Nix and Becca, it was really Nix's story and very refreshing.
My heart really tore just from Nix's personality, history, thoughts, emotions, and his love for the people he wants to protect, and especially Becca.
Reading his character development and his feelings for Becca was something so vulnerable and precious that you could feel the love he had.
I enjoyed that with Becca. She was the hero; she was the strength that binds everything together.
They balanced the pacing of the book out, the different POVs and just enough of scene time for the side characters.
P.s, the side characters are funny, I think there is a story for Animal so I will get into that.
Everything has meaning, and whatever question that we had in some scene, everything will come full circle.
It gives out a very satisfactory storytelling to a reader in making sure every box was checked, every character had their development and the plotline serves the purpose of the intention of the first chapter.
AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, BRILLIANT, READ AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH!
“You are my heart and this is the first time I've ever thought it was worthy of a beat”
