You have Eva Mercy who has terrible migraines and a pen vicious enough to write a 15 book series while having amazing powerhouse of a daughter, Audre. When she rekindles with her high-school love, Shane, we are taken back to their past and what made them who they are today. This story is so heartbreaking and the relationship dynamics that were put into these characters make them so relatable. It feels very real and gives a realistic view of how children are treated because of parental neglect while putting their personal agendas at the forefront rather than taking care of their children. Every adult in their past that was involved actually deserves jail time. It sheds light to sometimes, rekindling relationships can come just as much as they can go.
There was so much care and thought being done throughout this book and I appreciated it more than anything. Seeing how Shane is battling his addiction while trying to avenge his past and Eva coping with her chronic illness. You see the depiction of how debilitating it is to constantly show up for yourself everyday while trying to heal from your past and the present. It also shows how love can help you realize that you are worthy of being alive and being loved. Eva and Shane are meant to be and I will stand on that.
Now, go read the book (:
