This is one of those books that once you start reading, you know you're reading something special. Eyes Turned Skyward is heartbreaking, beautifully written and completely captivating......
Eyes Turned Skyward follows the story of Paisley Donovan. She has a terrible heart condition that already claimed the life of her older sister. Everyone around her treats her like she's glass and all she wants is to live a normal life. Meeting Jagger, may finally give her not only what she has been looking for, but what she needs.....
Jagger has always lived his life to the fullest, even if it means being reckless. His only dream was getting into flight school. Now that that's happened, he decides to focus on that and not have any distractions. He may not have planned on meeting Paisley, but meeting her was like getting a breath of fresh air. She's all he can think about and he will do anything to be with her....
Eyes Turned Skyward takes you on an emotional journey. From the moment I started reading this book, I just knew I was reading something amazing. This book is a story about love, loss, taking chances, living life to it's fullest and trusting your instincts. The characters are real, honest and a little broken. This story will make you laugh, cry, break you, frustrate you and swoon. It's one of those books that I know will stay with me for a long time. This is the first book that I've read by this author and it most definitely won't be the last.

It is incredible to find books that are stories WITH a character with a disability but the disability isn’t the sole focus of the book. Rebecca Yarros always writes characters who are relatable, deep, complex and passionate but as a fellow chronic illness warrior it means so much to be able to relate to a fictional character and feel that someone understands your daily struggles. Also, steamy sex scenes never hurt anyone

Tissues. Have tissues. You’ll have sad tears, angry tears, tears from laughter, and ridiculously sappy happy tears. My emotions were everywhere. What a fantastic story. Powerful. It perfectly depicts why everyone should seize the day. Because no one knows what day will be their last. Carpe Diem

J’ai lu ce tome sans avoir lu le précédent et cela n’a pas posé de soucis car chaque tome suit un couple différent.

I loved the characters. Some times the writing of the dialogue was little too mushy for my liking, but the book is still thoroughly enjoyable as a whole.
